Employees of the State Archive of the Vitebsk region continue to take part in solemn events in honor of the 78th anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War

Festive events devoted to the 78th anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War began today and will continue until May 9, 2023.

As part of the Victory Day celebration program, a solemn meeting dedicated to the upcoming state holiday was held in the «Vitebsk» concert hall.

Veterans of the Great Patriotic War and labor, representatives of authorities, labor collectives, public organizations, military personnel of the Vitebsk garrison gathered here.

We are in an unpaid debt to those who gave their lives in the name of the future of our Motherland. We will never forget the exploits of partisans, underground soldiers and militiamen, the selflessness of those who worked in the rear. We will remember soldiers who fought on the fronts, women who replaced men in factories, children who went through unimaginable trials for their age.

The participants of the meeting honored the memory of the fallen defenders of the Motherland with a minute of silence.

After the solemn part, a celebratory concert took place.
