Polotsk residents took part in the 65th meeting at the memorial complex "Mound of Friendship"

On the border of Belarus, Russia and Latvia during the Great Patriotic War, the history of the Great Victory was written. Thousands of partisans and underground fighters fought against fascism. 65 years ago, the Mound of Friendship memorial complex was erected here, where veterans and their descendants meet every year. Last Sunday, the 65th meeting took place.

The leadership of the Vitebsk and Pskov regions, participants and guests of the anniversary meeting, including Polotsk residents, laid flowers at the monument to the Komsomol underground members in the village of Proshki (Belarus) and the monument to the Hero of the Great Patriotic War Maria Pynto (Russia) and traditionally performed the legendary "Katyusha".

For the participants of the meeting, a concert program was prepared by interactive platforms in the form of a "Partisan Village". Polotsk teams also demonstrated their talents. The leaders of the Vitebsk and Pskov regions visited the youth Belarusian-Russian educational and patriotic camp "Kurgan-2024".

A bonfire of friendship was lit here.
