Belarusian forward of “Prince albert” Alex Protas in an interview with “Pressball” told distinguish whether Canadians Belarusians from Russians.

A few words about life in Prince albert. What of the city?

– Small, with a population of 30-35 thousand. Attractions sparse. There are two prisons located in different suburbs. In doing one time up to two years, and one regional, two years. Hockey and our team, probably the biggest outlet for local. Canadians really live for this sport. Reason the NHL is the best League where the strongest go. I believe it will remain so forever.

– Canadians with whom I communicate, at least know that Belarus is not Russia?

Yes. As soon as you begin to be confused, correct them. If you ask “Where’s the Russian?”, answer: I am a Belarusian, what are the Russian! What surprised me most Canadians distinguish Belarus from Russia, but the Americans are not.
