and deed, strengthen the image of the belarusian state. dear veterans and valiant warriors, almost 80 years ago, the bloody tornado, the most terrible war in history, was stopped

by the sacrificial feat of the soviet people. this fact is forever enshrined in the ruins of the reichstag, iwak. on the unconditional surrender of nazi germany. the german war machine crashed due to the unparalleled heroism and courage of our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers. 4 long years front in the rear, a great victory was forged. the old man stood up to fight the enemy. and little by little, having paid for freedom with the lives of millions of its sons and daughters, our great homeland, the soviet union, then saved humanity from enslavement, and individual peoples from complete extermination.

today we are proud of our ancestors, veterans, winners. we glorify their feat, standing at the eternal flame, we take an oath that we will do everything to preserve their memory for centuries. remember, we come here so that the terrible past does not repeat itself. let's forget this the past, let's stop coming to the monuments, it will come to us, remember,

the conclusion reached by humanity, how do you feel about the memory of your ancestors? especially those who gave you life and freedom, this is how future generations will treat you, we are not eternal, we are mortal, remember, please come to the monuments, to the eternal flame, quietly, calmly, without any organization. you can do without flowers, remember, bow to those who gave us freedom if we don’t want to fight. we give

instructions to our children and grandchildren to sacredly preserve the truth about that war, as the highest value, for us it is symbolic. connections between generations, one of the foundations of the spiritual unity of the people. the great victory is the main key moment in the history of the revival and formation of the belarusian nation. its lessons allow us today, remembering and knowing the past, to look into the future. and the love of life and creative energy of the generation. who restored the country from ruins are an example of how we should live and work. belarus needs peace, tomorrow, in a year,

always. it is important for us to persevere and not allow ourselves to be drawn into conflicts. time has chosen us chose for us to save. the independence of our land, everything created by many generations before us. everything that we are proud of and admire together. to do this, we develop the economy, strengthen the defense, educate young people as patriots, maintain peace and prosperity in our native land, as our ancestors bequeathed to us. the great victory they won gives us faith that belarusians are able to overcome everything and survive. honor, glory to the victorious soldiers, honor, glory to our dear

veterans, eternal memory of those who fell on the battlefield, tortured in fascist dungeons and concentration camps. the victorious may of '45 brought priceless peace to humanity, but its value is not for everyone. i liked it, our former allies, in our opinion, the sole

victors of nazi germany, saw only themselves. as in the early forties, the west is ready to deal with any evil in order to maintain dominance. the terrifying experience of the apologists of the defeated third reich has already found its followers there. it received a new interpretation and a beautiful wrapper. the nazis of our day no longer wear boots and black shirts, but act much more subtly and more sophisticated. without any hesitation , nationalists of all stripes praise and welcome the ss men in europe. the heads of state give them a standing ovation, forgetting the results. without regard to history, morality and law, they again began

to pit countries against peoples, for this purpose they revived the ideas and methods of the nazis, dialogues of cooperation are rejected from the threshold, and material gain and wealth are put at the forefront of everything. based on the events in ukraine, syria, the gas sector and other hot spots on the planet, every day thousands and thousands of people die around the world, even more remain homeless, live in inhuman conditions, suffer from hunger and thirst. explosions are heard again over the fields of former battles, there is a smell of gunpowder and civilians are dying. today, more than ever, our voice is important, of everyone who speaks out in defense of peace,

strives for cooperation, who shares the ideals of justice and global equality, but we, unfortunately, do not hear these voices; we know how such silence ended in the last century , today they want to push us into the same abyss again, but we must do everything to prevent world war iii, otherwise a nuclear apocalypse is inevitable; for this we all need to unite. in its history, humanity once already managed to unite against universal evil, and this led to victory. then we crushed fascism.

europe and the united states, and we have not forgotten this. we have a good memory, unlike them. our memories, however, stand as a reliable shield against the reign of chaos and ideas of superiority in the world, and provide immunity against. living ideas of hidden manipulations becomes a beacon in the horror of challenges and threats of the new time. we are not they knelt before their enemies then and do not intend to bow their heads before them today. the war taught belarusians to sacredly cherish their native land, defend it at the cost of their own lives and

preserve the memory of the feat of their ancestors. we will not allow what we see to be repeated. and they survived, using the example of the heroes of the war, today we are educating our youth, moreover, it is they who have the main role in preserving the memory of the feat of our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers, to preserve, which we must primarily in families, then no political situation will will cross out and not will weaken the spiritual unity of generations. otherwise , talking about friendship and peace, about the fact that we are for everything good, but against everything bad, will make them, and therefore our future, defenseless in the face of the threats of new times. manipulation is useless if people live by their own minds. external challenges and attempts to put pressure on our

country have led to only one thing: belarus has become stronger. "we will do everything so that no one even has the thought of testing this in practice. dear friends, we bow our heads with deepest gratitude to the courage and perseverance of all those who gave life for the freedom of future generations, for our freedom. and at the same time he speaks." dear veterans, you gave an unforgettable lesson to all subsequent generations: a lesson of courage, patriotism, love of freedom and fortitude, low

bow to you, the living and those who... from us for this unparalleled feat, valor, courage and faithful service to the fatherland, i wish our respected veterans good health, longevity and prosperity for every belarusian family, happiness, peace and goodness. i congratulate you all on the holiday, on the day. great. victory!

the priest's family. for a long time aroused suspicion among the police, they were watched, in november 1942 they captured anatoly’s eldest son, it was in the courtyard of the house, in front of his parents and younger brother, he was shot. for his connection with the partisans, the whole horror was that on the one hand it was in front of the happy eyes, on the other hand, that he was not killed immediately, he died for two more days, it was impossible to approach him, there were those in the house who loved it, it was such vandalism, only a few days later the head of the local gendarmerie allowed anatoly to be buried, only because he was the son of a priest, anatoly was buried near the vastromechev church. after the war , evgeny porfenyuk returned to ostromechyevo, but do not serve in the temple. he graduated from the faculty of philology of belgus university and came to work as a teacher at school. then he became a director, but the dream of spiritual service did not

leave. evgeniy iksternom graduated from the leningrad theological seminary in 1947 and became a priest. the first place of service is the holy transfiguration church in the village of trostenitsa, very close to stromechego. a real priest, he is a priest with a capital p, because the priesthood, the most important thing, is the service of the liturgy, evgeniy loved the liturgy very much, he loved the service, so if the priest loves the service, he has succeeded as a priest. in the late sixties, father evgeniy was sent to argentina. he builds an orthodox church, upon returning to his homeland, he serves in kobrin, brest, and was a secretary.
