A Park of Partisan Glory and Post No. 1 will appear in Vitebsk by Victory Day

March 25, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. A park of partisan glory named after Minay Shmyrev will be created in Vitebsk, the chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, Alexander Kosinets, announced today at a meeting of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, a BELTA correspondent reports. In honor of the organizer of the partisan movement in the Vitebsk region, Hero of the Soviet Union, the legendary Bat'ka Minay, as the fighters called him, the existing Lenin Park will be renamed. This place was not chosen by chance, as it is in the park that the museum dedicated to the famous partisan is located. According to the authors of the project, busts of famous partisans - defenders of the Fatherland will be installed in the park of partisan glory, and partisan dugouts will appear so that young residents of the region can see with their own eyes the conditions in which their great-grandfathers lived and fought. The opening of the renovated park will be timed to coincide with May 9. On the eve of the celebration of the 65th anniversary of the Great Victory, Post No. 1 will be resumed in Vitebsk. An honor guard of young cadets and pioneers will stand at the renovated monument on Victory Square. On the eve of the holiday, on behalf of the governor, along with financial assistance that will be provided to veterans of the Great Patriotic War from the republican budget, the regional budget will also allocate funds for gifts to veterans. During the first half of April, the housing conditions of veterans will be inspected and, if necessary, housing repairs will be carried out. As of March 1, there are 6,724 veterans of the Great Patriotic War, 668 family members of the deceased, and 9,814 former prisoners of Nazi concentration camps living in the region. -0-
