Dreams must come true, especially the dreams of children. There is no selfishness, meanness, hypocrisy in them, only unobtrusive sincerity and simplicity. Grisha, a boy from a small Russian hamlet in Krasnodar Krai, wanted to get the national flag of Belarus. However, he could not find it in either online or offline stores.

Then the schoolboy wrote a letter directly to the President of Belarus with all his childish spontaneity.

Grisha Pokhil:

“I wrote a letter to Alexander Lukashenko because I love Belarus and its people. Although I've never been there, my family and I are going to visit you in the future.”

This telegram couldn't have gone unnoticed. The Belarusian embassy in Moscow was involved. Grisha received a reply and, together with his parents, sent a video narrative of how the events developed.
