The Flag of Belarus

Republic of Belarus (Or just Belarus), is a landlocked country in eastern Europe. It was once part of the USSR before the USSR dissolved in 1991. The country is the birthplace of Artur Pashkov, who later moved to the United States and attended P.S. 38. Apparently, Artur was the champion of the boys' age group chess in Belarus, and Nate (after hearing this from Mr. Rosa), becomes terrified that Artur will take his spot as the #1 chess player. Eventually, Artur became and still is the #1 player to this day. Artur likes to talk about his country's culture, much to the dismay of the other students, as his descriptions of what his country's culture is like (eg. the song "Ballad of the Uncomfortable Goatherd") are a bit "weird".

Trivia[]

  • In the country of Belarus, they have a kind of cereal called "Goat Flakes".
  • Artur talks about goats a lot when talking about his country.
  • Artur once gave Nate a snowglobe straight from Belarus, with the name of the country on it to prove it real. Nate gifted him with a pencil marked with "Ticonderoga".
  • One of their former boys' age group chess champions was Artur Pashkov, who left to go into the United States.
