The Belarusian requiem concert "Every Third,"dedicated to the tragedy of the Great Patriotic War, will be shown again in Russia. The next performances will take place in St. Petersburg on September 8 and 9.

The project combines a concert, a theatrical performance, and a documentary narrative. The program includes photo and video materials from various stages of the war, as well as updated modern research. For a long time, it was belived that Belarus lost every fourth resident, but new data confirms that the country lost every third.

The performance will feature works from the Soviet period and music by contemporary Belarusian composers. The poetic basis is "Requiem for Every Fourth." In 2025, the production was shown at the Kremlin Palace, and this season it will embark on a Russian tour: after St. Petersburg, it will travel to Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, and Novosibirsk.

The project was awarded the President of Belarus's "For Spiritual Revival" prize and is being implemented with the support of the Ministries of Culture of Belarus and Russia. Thematic exhibitions "Fates Formed in a Triangle" and "Partisans of Belarus" will be held in the concert hall's foyer, where visitors will be able to find information about relatives among Belarusian partisans and underground fighters.
