BGAMLI at the opening of the joint exhibition «Real and imaginary seas. Belarusian soldiers at the Vakatsyah»

«I read the biographies of our classics. I know many people who are asabists. How their licked and worn portraits differed from the hell of those who were the citizens of the people, the least saints and the least sinners, and not some mannequins..». (M. Tank)
