This is the youngest a holiday in the history of sovereign belarus on september 17, 1939, the belarusian people regained the right to live on their land , follow their traditions and independently determine their destiny, and at the same time this is a reminder of the difficult events that had to be overcome on the way to sovereign and independent to the state, on the occasion of this important date, a largescale Patriotic Forum, we are belarusians, took place at the minsk arena. This is a narrative of the modern path of development of our state, traditions, achievements and future belarus this is not just a country on on the map this is the place where the independent people live, who are proud of their territorial integrity and their achievements on the stage of the minsk arena. This evening, people of the most popular professions stood up; they had something to say about the significance of the fact that we can be called belarusians by our cultural code and the values of historical memory, all the details. Ilon krasuskaya has a new tradition in the history of sovereign bela day of our unity a reason to think about the deep meaning of this holiday for many it is something very personal and even history is not one generation, thirtyninth year, the year of the reunification of the belarusian lands within the borders of a single state, then such a dear victory and we again remember the lessons of history and think, what if the events of recent times unfolded differently . Its great that in 21 the head of the state returned this holiday to us, the holiday of National Unity. Its really great when we are all together, this is our history, this is our life, and we do everything together to preserve the independence and prosperity of our beloved country from an early age. Uh, from the first steps we we accustom them to all patriotic events that generally take place in the country. So, by our example, we want to show this to our children, so that they will be. Eh, the Patriotic Forum at the minsk arena is an example for all of us. Tradition is the culmination of a very significant holiday, here likeminded people meet, dedicated to their work and country , representatives of various professions and statuses, the day when we proudly talk about our achievements, of course, all this did not happen at once; many people made a huge contribution to the common cause and thats all. This is our story. U each with their own carefully stored photo album. But the Belarusian Telegraph Agency has prepared a global exhibition. The present chronicle. Every frame is valuable to our people, our belarusians. Patriots of our country must be united in their views in their directions , their goals, and take care of their country, and together preserve it, preserve all the values that have been laid down for centuries. We are belarusians together for our belarus to be beautiful, peaceful and prosperous. If we stay together, we will definitely succeed. We we will develop, we will create, and the fact that young people are next to adults. This suggests that our belarus has a very beautiful and Bright Future on september 17th. They are just a date on the calendar marked with unity. The main thing is to know. What events are behind this . At what cost did we get the right to live on our land and be sovereign, we belarusians, it is no coincidence that the first lines of our anthem are about peace and peacefulness. This is our highest value , traditionally shared by the head of state in the conditions. Ball redistribution of the world date 17 september takes on special meaning there is something to say and something to think about. The more we see. How do modern states collapse . As peoples lose their homeland, the house of tradition, the more closely we rewind into the history of our native land, which thousands of years ago met our ancient ancestors with a harsh climate. She taught me to stick together in order to survive and become the master of my home. And we understand that, in essence, there are no new challenges, no unexpected turns in history. There are forgotten old lessons and threats and there is protection. Centuries of experience that taught us to be revenge in both happy and difficult times for us belarusians. There is no need to tell how important it is to live in peace and harmony to be a united nation. Life has taught us from 1921 after the signing of the treaty of riga until 39, belarusians were deprived of the right to live on their land, no matter how difficult it was, without the motherland of their native language, it was still a constant struggle for the right to determine their destiny, just as it was in during the great patriotic war, the bloodiest period of our history, belarus lost every third person. But in that among them they fought for the freedom of their neighbors, but this fact is not enough for some, which means a lot can be said by our compatriots born under the polish occupation. Those who know about the danger of losing their homeland and being cut off from their family. I know what it means to live in your native land, but to be an outcast in the eyes of your privileged fellow citizens for many decades. They understand why on september 17 the republic celebrated the day of liberation, the workers of western belarus from the polish lords, here the occupation from oppression, no matter how the name changed, it objectively reflected the essence of this holiday. More recently, we hardly remembered about that dramatic time. The period of our belarus coming in half everything went into the shadow of the global tragedy of the great patriotic war of the Second World War. This terrible human carnage blocked everything. It was not customary to remember this time in the name of sovietpolish friendship, which was then thought to be eternal. We belarusians did not accuse our neighbors, but we always remembered how schools took away our faith, land and Natural Resources from belarusians. How our ancestors died without medical care, how they humiliated and destroyed morally and physically everyone who was devoted to their native culture, faith, language and traditions. Is it possible to forget how cannons were fired at belarusian villages, how belarusian children were beaten with rods in foreign schools and how belarusians were sophisticated by russian ukrainians in the polish concentration camp in kartun birch . This is all a fact. But for the sake of friendship with the polish people, we stepped over this pain. For god, this was taken for weakness. But the lesson has been learned, history repeats itself, the strong dictates not to such influential players as how to do it, and even without hiding our claims to other peoples borders, our wellbeing does not allow some to live in peace. Time has shown that our noble desire to live in peace with our neighbors was not appreciated. Im not talking about the polish people. Im talking about elite politicians who have been thirsting for revenge all these years. Taking this opportunity, i would like to say just a few words to my neighbors, or rather the people of neighboring countries, poles, lithuanians and latvians. Please know that we are not making plans to interfere in your life. We wish you only good happiness and peace. But this world today it is so fragile that any careless movement can lead to dire and irreparable consequences. I would really not like our lands to once again become a theater of military operations. And again millions of our citizens would be destroyed, as has always been the case in history. Belarusians dont need someone elses things. At the same time, remember. I appeal to the peoples of neighboring states in the event of aggression against belarus, we will not draw any red, yellow, black or blue on the angry lines. It is this line, the state border. And you know that we have something to answer. Therefore, lets live together as neighbors. If then the young republic did not know how to protect itself. Now everything is different, we have a lot of people who deeply care what happens. Tomorrow we are not aggressors. Our people. In fact , he cannot be an aggressor. We do not threaten anyone and will never threaten anyone. This is not our policy. And objectively, we cannot threaten anyone. But to protect ourselves, whether we are strong or weak. We are obliged, this is our historical role of our generations living today in belarus. Therefore, whatever is inside political events did not occur in our neighbors peoples. I repeat once again, lithuanians are latvians, ukrainians must understand. We are the most peaceloving nations on earth not with atomic weapons, nor with any wagner units and so on. We are not swinging and not threatening anyone. Well, you remember the story. We didnt threaten anyone then, but we were virtually wiped off the face of the earth. In the last war we lost every third person. And then carelessness. And complacency played an important role. That we almost lost, belarus therefore, we remember this, we taught and study history, and we will always be ready to defend our fatherland and our earth, addressing the belarusians today. I am addressing belarusians today. As president s and commanderinchief, i want to assure you that we do not want to fight. And we will not fight any war in modern conditions , there will be no belarus on the territory because it is impossible. And if god forbid something happens, we will all become the brest fortress. We will defend our land, which belongs to our children, to the last soldier and belarusian. We will do this as i said, in the name of peace in our native land, in the name of belarus, which we are creating on the foundation of victories, achieving the experience and memory of our heroic ancestors. Dear belarusians , live calmly, dont worry. Raise children. Be happy. Take care of your native land and your loved ones, happy National Unity day, belarusians. Concern for our future, first of all, in the actions of everyone at their workplace makes a great contribution to the strengthening of our independent country. Today farmers, teachers and industrialists spoke about this from the stage of the minsk arena. After all it all starts with your own example. We have the main thing, beautiful peaceful beautiful, belarus and i am very proud of it, and as a history teacher, the class teacher has his duty. I believe in passing on to the Younger Generation the knowledge and rich history, culture and traditions of belarusians about that Strong National foundation on the basis of which a deep feeling of patriotism, creative, uniting, victorious will be formed. Happy holiday, dear belarusians, relations of perception of history. Everyone is different and sometimes it is very difficult to explain what it is young people and not always. She understands the importance of a particular period. This is our task to explain. Why do such dates have a sacred meaning . Despite the fact that the holiday is young, it is firmly embedded in our lives, eve. A number of interesting events were held that revealed the essence of this holiday and the history of the holiday and modernity; a number of new objects were opened; interesting meetings were held. Collateral site. We need to convey, reveal and show as much as possible why the unity of our people is necessary. Well, this is a great force, thanks to which our country is developing and moving forward. You know, it seems to me that such holidays are interesting not only for the citizens of our country, but in general for the whole world. It seems to me that everything looks interesting to us, but because there are not many such unusual holidays. But in general, its roots go back to history and emphasizes the continuity of generations, therefore, in general, the value of this holiday. It seems to me that it is precisely that he unites us all to our share countries have faced many trials and everything and started all over again, thats why now we are so reverently defending our sovereignty and independence on the shores. We will survive everything that will pass. And look, if on the main broadcast the sudsky hole Veronica Buta and Andrey Novgorodtsev, all over the country the holiday was celebrated colorfully and loudly in in every region, National Unity day was remembered with bright and strong emotions. And one can only imagine how the hearts of belarusians trembled. On this day in that very thirtyninth, the restoration of historical justice for the belarusian people. This is exactly what we can call what happened then, people, having spent a decade under oppression, again regained the right to live on their land, honor and pass on their traditions to new generations of belarusians and, most importantly , independently choose the path for development, but territorial losses crippled the fates of millions of belarusians, futility the policy of colonization, shredded, the foundations of culture, language, education, rudeness, segregation, tried to erase, identity, integrity and self. An excursion into history in a special report from the main broadcast of eyewitnesses of the events, every year fewer and fewer are children who felt all this horror, when the feeling that you are second or even third class is instilled in you from school by footage from a film by a Television News agency. Frontier. Disconnection, he immerses us in those events, reveals the cards, and in the literal sense. Every time, as soon as we arrive at school, it begins with insults to the people, and the boor is too much for his teeth. This is a trace of humiliation, in their hearts is the medicine of doctors the lot of the rich and this is the work of nonbotical belarusians. There was no hospital for them in the new state. Luxury, 29 feet. My mother told me it was a cup. There was no place. So i eat, my dad brought it from this village and it was lying there and would be sold, but the cow was also dearly buried in the black page of history, when the fate of the people was decided without him, this is one of the most striking definitions that researchers give today, to those same fatal decisions of 1921, rizhsky the peace treaty that followed the sovietpolish war cut the belarusian people to the quick, depriving them of one moment of the right to live on the land of ones ancestors. But history remembers that the alternatives to these decisions were that no one was allowed in, not far away , the ussr was not far away. There werent any special belarusian simple centuries, and that was the end of it. What was in all of them was the most tragic. In theory, the history of our ukraine is that of the 18th century , twentysixth year. Simply block the real and National Integrity of ukraine from being peaceful for western belarusians. There was no agreement, the border passed through the center of ethnic belarus, almost four million human lives and almost half by the stroke of a piranha, the belarusian lands found themselves under the jurisdiction of the polish state. Freedom of the National Language and religion, national schools. All. This turned out to be a nice word on the document, everything was in detail, moreover, the famous minister of Foreign Affairs jozef, running, forever. Illegals of the nations in geneva for quoting her, poland refuses the early guarantees for the protection of the rights of National Minorities and has adopted a policy based on it. It is interesting that by that time only 64 of belarusians were considered ethnic poles in the new polishlithuanian commonwealth. Disenfranchised minority voivode belo ya stashinsky, in the summer of 1939, i think he said in plain text, we demand from belarusians only one thing think in polish, speak in polish , pump resources out of the land and hold them as a raw material appendage and market cheap labor. Nobody was going to. Here, to build , say, enter
