On October 5, 2024, as part of the events dedicated to the Year of Quality and on the eve of the professional holiday – Archivist’s Day, the staff of the Zonal State Archive in Polotsk visited the confectionery factory «Kommunarka».

«Kommunarka» traces its history back to 1905. Treats made from natural products have become popular with many generations of Belarusians, and some candies were included in the all-Union collection of recipes.

During the excursion, the archivists got acquainted with all the stages of candy production from the development of the recipe to sending to stores, walked through the fragrant workshops, where impeccable cleanliness reigns and smells of chocolate, vanilla and nuts, and tasted candies straight from the conveyor.
At the exhibition, the tourists saw what a variety of wonderful products «Kommunarka» produces and were able to try the «new» products. At the end of the excursion, all participants were treated to unexpected surprises from the Kommunarka factory.
