By Alexandra Dragun: Today marks the 180th birth anniversary of Alexander Pushkin. The great poet’s only ancestor in Belarus, Nikita Veshchagin, lives in Novopolotsk and studies at the Novopolotsk Polytechnic State College. This was discovered by a scientific group of three schoolgirls and a teacher who had worked on the project Pushkin and Belarus for three years.
