National Remembrance Day

In Belarus, June 22 is the Day of National Remembrance of the victims of the Great Patriotic War and the genocide of the Belarusian people. 82 years ago at 4 am, German troops attacked the Soviet Union. The destinies of millions of people were destroyed overnight. The President of Belarus addressed the Belarusians with an appeal on the occasion of the Day of National Remembrance of the victims of the Great Patriotic War and the genocide of the Belarusian people. "Inhuman cruelty did not break the will of our people. The defense of the native land rallied the entire civilian population of the republic in general resistance to fascism. Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were subjected to torture and terror, but retained their honor and dignity. After decades of prosperous life on the planet, a situation has arisen again when the fabric of peacetime is about to break. Another wrong step of cynical Western politicians may be the last for most of humanity. Knowing firsthand about the horrors of war and the price of victory, the Belarusian people preserve the historical truth, strengthen state sovereignty and the unity of the nation in the name of peace in their native land", the appeal says.
