The main trade of the ancient Smolevichans-the extraction of resin from wood-predetermined the name of the city. The favorable geographical location of the region, its rich past, dynamic present and promising future make up the attractiveness of Smolevichchina. The hallmark of the district was the Mound of Glory, erected in 1969 in memory of the operation "Bagration". A new impetus in the development of the region is associated with the acquisition of the status of a satellite city of Minsk by Smolevichi. Today, the city is actively being built up with apartment buildings, schools, kindergartens. More and more Minsk residents choose Smolevichi as their place of residence - away from the hustle and bustle of the city and closer to nature.
