Gomel cadets to keep memory watch at Eternal Flame memorial

6 апреля 2021
The civic-patriotic action was initiated by the young people themselves. Cadets will be on duty for 80 days, until June 22, when it will be 80 years since the start of the Great Patriotic War. Thus, young people want to pay tribute to all those who defended the homeland and forged the Victory. 

Danila Shumkevich, cadet of School №21 in Gomel: "During the Great Patriotic War the father of my great-grandfather Dmitry Moskalev went to the front and was missed in action near Smolensk in 1942. At the age of 14 my great-grandfather went straight to the military service. We should honor the memory of those who gave their lives so that we could live under a peaceful sky."

About 200 young people will take part in the event.
