Minsk is preparing to celebrate the City Day on a grand scale — historical reconstructions, sports competitions and a grand disco in the very center of the capital. On the morning of 13 September, a solemn ceremony will begin at Minsk — Hero-City obelisk. The city's leadership, foreign delegations and representatives of public associations will lay flowers at the monument. History lovers will find the Minsk Starazhytny location.
