A meeting of the working group to perpetuate the memory of the defenders of the Motherland was held at the Bobruisk District Executive Committee

Group members discussed the results of the work they set for themselves at the last meeting, and also outlined goals for the future.

– We set ourselves the task of comparing data from the printed version of the book «Memory. Bobruisk District» with an electronic regional data bank «Book of Memory of the Bobruisk District», which contains information about all the soldiers who survived in the region. We completed this inspection on December 20, all members of the group, which includes the director of the institution «Zonal State Archive in Bobruisk» Zayats E.D. dealt with it. As expected, many inaccuracies were discovered – conflicting information about more than 150 defenders of the Motherland. The next stage they planned to go through was a thorough check, correlating information about the unimmortalized warriors with archival data, in order to have a basis for making a final decision about their immortalization and, most importantly, to establish the exact location in which area the person should be immortalized: this information varies from source to source. The work is not small, it requires precision, so you should approach it extremely responsibly. We are guided by the principle: to work not for quantity, but for quality», said Dmitry Veryovkin.
