June 22 is the Day of Memory and Sorrow, the day on which the Great Patriotic War began 82 years ago.

Today we remember all the dead, tortured, who died of hunger and deprivation in wartime. The younger generation must never forget the price people have paid for peace!

The head of the Department of Information and Use of Documents, Candidate of Historical Sciences Moseychuk L.I., conducted a tour of the archive and introduced the tourists to the poster photo exhibition «Rising from the Ashes», dedicated to the revival of the city of Minsk after the Great Patriotic War.
