The special award will be presented to "Pesniary" today at the grand opening of the XIX International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk". Opening the artist's star, Minister of Culture Pavel Latushko compared him to an angel who descended to the land of Belarus to preserve its original culture. "In childhood, Mulyavin taught me Belarusian songs, in youth - to understand that I am Belarusian, in maturity - to pray for Belarus," admitted Pavel Latushko. Mulyavin's name will forever remain in national culture.
