The Belarusian capital is celebrating two holidays on May 9.
The hockey championship has never been held in our country before. It drew a lot of attention after the festive manifestation dated for the Victory Day.
The first clashes have occurred between fans. Russia defeated Switzerland (5:0). A Russian fan ran onto the Swiss flag when the national anthem was being performed and started insulting the players. However, he was caught right away.
