I know. Pre-war Czechoslovakia was a long noodle and people from Carpathian Ruthenia (a region annexed by the USSR in 1945 and attached to Ukrainian SSR) still come to Prague to work. They usually take buses from Uzhhorod to Prague (750 km), the journey lasts about 13 hours.
Yeah, no one does a weekend hop to family and back under such conditions. Visits are monthly.
Warsaw to Minsk buses take about 12 hours too. But the ticket is cheap, about 20 eur. I don't think you can buy an air ticket under 100 eur. Perhaps even much more (150-200).
Given that a lot of the people work for peanuts, they choose the far cheaper option even if it means a much longer and uncomfortable journey.
