To take this back to Belarus: Has anyone been able to find what the Belarus law actually says about militaria and other collectibles?
I'm not sure the question of what you can legally take out of Belarus has been answered: "Generally OK" in an earlier response means to me the item is allowable on a case be case basis based on the whims of a borderguard (which is probably the case to a certain extent in all places), not based on the clear rule of law (yes I too am wincing at turning this phrase while talking about Belarus). I know, for example, in Moldova, patrimony extends to items manufactured well into the 1960s, so I am a little surprised to hear that older items are "good to go" in Belarus.
