Belarusian Embassy in Russia lays wreath at Tomb of Unknown Soldier in Moscow

The ceremony traditionally takes place on the eve of May 9 and is dedicated to the 79th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The monument is located in the Alexander Garden near the Kremlin walls. This place is a symbol of memory of all the soldiers who died defending our Motherland. It is no coincidence that the words are carved on the stone above the Eternal Flame: "Your name is unknown, your feat is immortal". According to State Secretary of the Union State Dmitry Mezentsev, May 9 is one of the most important holidays for both Belarusians and Russians. Especially today, when the history of the Great Patriotic War is being rewritten and monuments to liberating soldiers are being demolished. In these difficult times, this date unites our peoples even more strongly.
