Here is a little information that I want to show you. Belarus and Russia have been close trading partners and diplomatic allies since the breakup of the Soviet Union. Belarus is dependent on Russia for imports of raw materials and for its export market. Bilateral relations with the United States are strained because the U.S. Department of State supports various pro-democracy NGOs and because the Belorussian government has made it harder for US-based organizations to operate within the country. As of 2007, 98 of the 110 members of the House of Representatives are not affiliated with any political party and of the remaining twelve members, eight belong to the Communist Party of Belarus, three to the Agrarian Party of Belarus, and one to the Liberal Democratic Party of Belarus
