For a long time, the northwest center of Minsk along the right bank of the Svislach tributary of the river Berezina was poorly populated.

[citation needed] It was renamed to Victors Avenue in honor of the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II in 2005.

[4] From 2011-2013, with the involvement of workers from North Korea, the Palace of Independence was built in the middle of the avenue, which later became the main residence of President of Belarus.

One of the main sights of both parades is the T-34 tank leading the procession of vehicles for three miles along the avenue[7] as well as the traditional drill performance from the Honor Guard Company of the Minsk Military Commandant.

[13] In addition, there are several bus routes along the entire avenue, and trolleybuses run in the area of the Palace of Independence and in Vesnyanka.
