On July 14, 2025, the trade union organizer of the State Archive in Orsha, Olesya Korban, took part in a memorial motor rally dedicated to the 84th anniversary of the first salvo of the legendary «Katyusha».

The column of participants started from the memorial complex «For Our Soviet Motherland» and proceeded to the memorial sign in the area of the village of Pishchalovo, where the first salvo of the BM-13 rocket artillery unit was heard on July 14, 1941. This historical moment became a symbol of the courage and power of Soviet weapons. The battery under the command of Captain Ivan Andreevich Flerov dealt a crushing blow to the enemy, marking the beginning of the combat path of «Katyusha», which made an invaluable contribution to the victory over Nazism.

The event was attended by the leadership of the Orsha district, representatives of public associations, political parties and labor collectives.

The participants honored the memory of the artillery heroes by laying flowers and opened a new information plaque, as part of the project «Save History».
