Street named after the late Georgian soldier in Belarus

A street in the Belarusian capital of Minsk will carry the name of a Georgian military servant.

The late Dimitri Gviashiani who studied at Belarusian military academy, saved the lives of several passengers of a train that has been caught in fire back in 1999.
