VICTORY DAY | MEMORY OF THE FEAT | THE TRIAL OF A NAZI COLLABORATOR | HIGH-LEVEL CONTACTS

VICTORY DAY
The memory and great feat of our people. A gala gathering and concert of artists dedicated to Victory Day took place at the Palace of the Republic in Minsk. The event brought together war and labor veterans, representatives of the diplomatic corps and clergy, public associations and political parties, and delegations from the regions. The main idea was to demonstrate the continuity of generations and the preservation of historical memory. The emphasis was on the personal stories, feelings, and experiences of people whose lives were touched by the war. On the eve of the Great Victory, this conveys our readiness to defend what is ours.

MEMORY OF THE FEAT
The memory of the Soviet people's heroism during the Great Patriotic War knows no bounds. On the eve of Victory Day, the Belarusian diaspora in New York organized a touching event. The leader of the patriotic unit and his team congratulated 10 veterans whose fates are inextricably linked with Belarus. Young people from the United States also joined the event. Interacting with eyewitnesses of the war is a unique opportunity to learn the truth about those terrible events firsthand.

THE TRIAL OF A NAZI COLLABORATOR
The verdict has been announced in the criminal case against punitive officer Antanas Gecevicius. A Nazi collaborator and native of Lithuania personally participated in punitive operations and ordered the extermination of civilians in Minsk and the surrounding region. His punitive battalion claimed thousands of victims, including executions, hangings and burials alive.
