Rada of the Belarusian Democratic Republic

The Rada of the Belarusian People's Republic (Belarusian: Рада Беларускае Народнае Рэспублікі, romanized: Rada Biełaruskaje Narodnaje Respubliki, Рада БНР, Rada BNR) was the main representative body of the Belarusian People's Republic (BPR), centered in Minsk. It was established in March 1918, when the Rada of the All-Belarusian Congress (Belarusian: Рада Усебеларускага з’езда) was expanded and transformed into the temporary legislative body of the newly proclaimed BPR. Already on 25 March, the Rada adopted the Third Constituent Charter, proclaiming independence of BPR, and also appealing for international recognition.
