White Ruthenia (in white) within the Grand Duchy of Lithuania as depicted by the French cartographer Henri Chatelain in a map from 1712
White Ruthenia (Church Slavonic: Бѣла Роусь, romanized: Bela Rous';[citation needed] Belarusian: Белая Русь, romanized: Biełaja Ruś; Polish: Ruś Biała; Russian: Белая Русь, romanized: Belaya Rus'; Ukrainian: Біла Русь, romanized: Bila Rus'), White Rus, is an archaism[1][2] for the eastern part of present-day Belarus, including the cities of Polotsk, Vitebsk and Mogilev. It is a common misconception that this region may also be called White Russia, however this is incorrect with the name predating the creation of Russia by a few centuries. Instead it derives from Ruthenia, a region which lies in modern day Ukraine and Belarus. The name Belarus refers to white Ruthenia and not Russia as is commonly believed.
