Local residents go to see the unusual landscape at that spot.
In Mogilev, the water has disappeared from Pechersk Lake, and local residents are going to look at the lake bed and posting on social media that the scene looks quite frightening due to years of silt buildup.
In reality, the lake hasn’t disappeared—it was drained for a large-scale cleanup of bottom sediments, which city officials had announced back in the spring, according to magilev.by.

The work is expected to last about three months. Afterward, the waterway’s gates will be closed, and the lake will begin to fill with water naturally again. By the start of the new beach season, Pechersk Lake will return to its familiar appearance, but this time it will be clean and well-maintained.
