May 21, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. Famous people of the Vitebsk region will recite works by Belarusian authors from the TV screen, the Deputy Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee Vladimir Terentyev told a BELTA correspondent. The literary project, whose working title is still under discussion, is timed to coincide with the Year of Books and will launch on local television in early June. Its essence is that authoritative and respected personalities in the region will read their favorite works by Belarusian authors in a TV studio. The recording will be done by the "Vitebsk" radio and television company, and then broadcast on the local TV channel and on TV screens in the city center. The goal of the project is to popularize Belarusian authors and instill a culture of reading. "The example of distinguished people is very important for such popularization," believes Vladimir Terentyev. Among the first participants of the project are an Honored Teacher of Belarus, a People's Artist of Belarus, the Deputy Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee, the General Director of a large enterprise, and a journalist. They will read works by both classics of Belarusian literature and contemporary authors. The recording of the program will begin soon. -0-
