I forget, but it's something about how Belarus became part of Eastern Europe much later than 1987, so although she is now (since 1991) geo-politically classified as being of Eastern European parentage, she was born and raised a member of the USSR, by parents who were the same.

I have absolutely no idea why. 😕
