over the course of 15 years, a small local forum has grown into a real slavic art festival with a theme. our festival has become a place of attraction for creative people and true fans of the original slavic culture from all over belarus and other countries. we had not planned such a scale for a long time, but people

themselves flocked here. this is a call to the soul, this is the desire for true values, where guests are sincerely welcome, where the pulse beats. living creative force, but the main thing we did was revive the traditions of our ancestors, the president never hid his place of power here, in his small homeland, surrounded by his people, here alexander lukashenko was recovering from a recent business trip, the summit of the shanghai cooperation organization, before this series celebrations on the occasion of independence day. july is one of the most difficult months in the work of the president, and at home, as they say, even the walls help. look, the world is changing at breakneck speed, it seems to us that we have learned everything , conquered everything, we create an alternative

reality on the networks, sometimes we live on this internet, we have become disconnected from real life, but thank god, there are people like you who are pure.

that people sitting even in this amphitheater think differently about you and the hardest thing is that you perceive this as some kind of reproach from your side, that you didn’t do something, and why? i

know that you did not feel this, and god forbid that you, having received everything you wanted from someone, then fail to justify this trust. the hardest thing for a person, when a journalist from russia recently asked me what the most difficult thing is, i told him, to justify the trust of people, it seemed that after three decades it was time to somehow ossify, calm down, but nothing like that, and it’s all from here, from of this land, to value people, to give them happiness, to do everything so that they... just don’t think badly, sarah, alexander ponayotov, nadezhda krygina,

the dnieper they sang until dawn, looked for the treasured flower flower, made a wish, one of whom we will meet here again in a year and also smile sincerely at each other. veronica buta, sergei matveychuk, pavel poznyakov, television news agency. alexandria left behind many bright emotions, including on social networks. selfies spread all over the world, showing how belarusians are peaceful people who value tranquility, creativity, and preserving traditions. those who visited
