The State Archives of Minsk Region held a staff meeting dedicated to Family Day

Every year on May 15, in accordance with the resolution of the UN General Assembly, the International Day of Families is celebrated. In Belarus, the national holiday Family Day is celebrated on this day.

Family is the main value in our life. It lays the foundation of each person’s personality, and maintains the continuity of generations. Strengthening the family as a social institution, protecting motherhood and childhood – all these are the most important areas of the Belarusian state family policy.

On May 15, 2025, the State Archives of Minsk Region held a staff meeting dedicated to Family Day. Olga Mikhailovna Dragun, chairperson of the primary trade union organization of the state archive, spoke about the formation of the holiday and its significance in the life of society. In addition, she shared the story of her family members – participants in the Great Patriotic War, and also presented her colleagues with her favorite family books.
