«Young Archivist»: A Patriotism Lesson at the Peresvyatovskaya Basic School in the Rechitsa District

On November 17, 2025, as part of the «Archives for School» campaign and the «Young Archivist» pilot project, the Zonal State Archives in Rechitsa held a lesson at the Peresvyatovskaya Basic School in the Rechitsa District dedicated to the 82nd anniversary of the liberation of the Rechitsa District from Nazi invaders.

Archivists told students about the liberation of the Rechitsa District from Nazism, specifically their village of Peresvyatoye, from which the Red Army expelled the Nazis the day before its arrival in Rechitsa – November 17, 1943. The audience was presented with archival documents, photographs, and publications from the archive’s research and reference library on the topic of the lesson. The classroom also saw a screening of the documentary film «Liberation», produced by the Belarusian State Film, Photo, and Sound Archive, which contains footage of the Soviet offensive in the Rechitsa District.
