In a year, the Khatyn Memorial will be supplemented with a unique exposition, a new museum for the 80th anniversary of the Khatyn tragedy. Today the President is working at this place within the framework of the national subbotnik.
The President was informed about the construction projects. Now there are plans to renovate it with modernization. As for the new museum, according to the concept it will be a one-storey building with the total area of 1 thousand square meters with a circular system of six exhibition halls. The President ordered to open the site next year.
It is planned that the museum expositions will introduce visitors to the history of major military conflicts and the tragedies of civilians in them. It will cover the period of military campaigns and wars that took place on the Belarusian land from the 10th to the 20th centuries. Naturally, the main focus will be on the events of the World War II and the Great Patriotic War, the period of occupation and the tragedy of the burnt-down villages.
Today, the Head of State also laid flowers at the monument "The Unconquered Man". It is the main symbol of the memorial. A little later, the President joined the crews to plant fruitful trees and bushes near the symbolic village houses.
President talks to representatives of mass media
Subbotnik is one of the events, which should be borrowed from the Soviet times. The President spoke about this with journalists. Working for one's homeland is a voluntary activity.
The conversation touched on a variety of topics. A new page in the relations between Belarus and Russia has been opened as a result of the working trip of the President to Russia and the visit to the cosmodrome Vostochny in Amur Region. All bans on participation of our citizens in the construction in the restricted territories have been lifted.
The President also spoke about the non-public activities of foreign diplomats in Belarus. Many interesting facts will be revealed in the future.
At the same time they discussed the PR actions of the representatives of the Western countries. Lately they have made a fashion of visiting war memorials. But in fact, they are indifferent to the events of those years.
