>I really hate that Index calls Belarus Belarusz instead of Fehéroroszország or Belarusszia. It isn't a mistake, but it sounds to me as if they were using the Anglo name for it.

It isn't Anglo thing but actually Belorussian. In their language, country is called Belarus (Беларусь), but in Russian (that is also a main language in Belarus) it is Belorussia. And as always, post-Soviet countries tend to use their "proper" name instead of "old Soviet", and sometimes are pretty concerned about it.

Same story about Ukraine - there are two ways to say "in Ukraine" in Russian/Ukrainian (first - "in Ukraine", second - "on Ukraine"), and it is source of funny and not even funny conflicts in internet. Second one is Russian way, and (some) Ukrainians aren't happy when it is used.

So, usage of "Belarus" is more about using their own naming style.
