<p>Map of the divisions (oblasts, voblasts) of Belarus as they were from 1960 to 1993. On January 20 1960, the Soviet republic of Byelorussia was reorganized into these six oblasts. The names are as they were transliterated from Russian at that time. On August 25 1991, Belarus became independent. Around 1993, the city of Minsk was split into its own area, Horad Minsk, and the names used since that time are now translated from Belarusian.
