Lukashenko presents state awards on Day of People's Unity

“This is a very special day for our country. We are celebrating the Day of People's Unity - a day that marks the triumph of historical justice. Eighty-five years ago the liberation march of the Red Army put an end to our struggle for self-determination. The people, divided for many years into western and eastern Belarusians, became a single nation. We had all kinds of times afterwards: a dramatic and heroic period of the Great Patriotic War, and a peaceful and creative period after the Great Victory. Today, people who continue the traditions of those who did not back down in the face of hardships of the past century, who developed, defended and brought prosperity to our country, have gathered at the Palace of Independence,” the head of state said.
