The regional Alley of Unity was opened in Vitebsk
The country's first regional Alley of Unity has opened in the northern capital.
The event was held as part of the large-scale republican campaign "Symbol of Unity - 2023", organized by the public association "Patriots of Belarus". Its goal is to consolidate civil society around the common idea of peace and creation under the symbols of the regions. To promote the expression of the identity of different corners of Belarus within the unified and integral originality of our state.
The Regional Alley of Unity is located on the grounds of the cultural and sports complex of the Summer Amphitheater: flags of the Vitebsk region districts proudly fly on flagpoles in the city center. The solemn ceremony was attended by the Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee Alexander Subbotin, the Chairman of the Regional Council of Deputies Vladimir Terentyev, the Assistant to the President - Inspector for the Vitebsk Region Igor Brylo, and the heads of regional, city, and district executive committees.
"This event is taking place on the eve of the Day of National Unity – a holiday that emphasizes the continuity of generations of Belarusians and the involvement of each of us in the fate of our Motherland," said Alexander Subbotin. "Today, more than ever, the consolidation of society is important, as the ideas of peace and creation are strengthened only through concrete common actions. We proudly call ourselves citizens of the Republic of Belarus. The concept of the 'Belarusian people' is based on the great spiritual brotherhood of all for whom our generous, beautiful, and kind land has become a native home."
— We have been organizing various large-scale events for several years to demonstrate the unity of Belarusians. For example, in 2021, we helped farmers harvest crops through a community work party. This initiative was recognized at the highest level: the head of state presented us with the "For Spiritual Revival" award, — noted the chairman of the PRPO "Patriots of Belarus" Nikolai Zarubitsky. — In 2023, we visited all 118 regions of the country under the banner "We are all a single mechanism," and this autumn we embarked on a similar trip to show each other how different and unique we are, yet united at the same time.
The head of the region and his colleagues from the city and district executive committees presented symbols of the northern province and its regions to the participants of the republican motor rally, which started in Minsk under the auspices of "Patriots of Belarus." Following the event, a pan-Belarusian Alley of Unity will be established in the capital, where flags of the country's districts and cities will be placed. Its visitors will be able to learn information about any region and its attractions in online mode by scanning the corresponding QR code.
