As part of the international cheerleading tournament and festival "Children and Youth Week", the Cheerleading Cup among institutions of higher education of the Republic of Belarus was held at the Minsk Sports Palace.

An intense struggle unfolded for the right to climb the podium, in which 12 of the strongest university teams of the country took part. The team of our university "Ho.La", the bronze medalist of last year's championship, met in the most difficult confrontation with the teams of BSMU and BSPU — and won!

Dear friends!

I congratulate you on Labor Day! 

May 1 is a national holiday in our country that unites people of different professions and generations who respect work and love their land. It is a symbol of our solidarity and unity, the key to the prosperity of our native Belarus, because hard work and creativity are the basis for the successful development of society and the well—being of each of us.

I thank all the staff for their fruitful and well-coordinated work for the benefit of the university. May your daily work bring genuine pleasure and please you with worthy results.

I wish you good health and success in all your endeavors. Peace, kindness and prosperity to you and your loved ones!

Rector of the University A.N. Chukanov

On April 29, 2026, the opening ceremony of two updated plaques of Honor took place on Victory Square – the city and the Vitebsk region, each of which contains 20 winners of the competition based on the results of work in 2025.

Alexey Geroyev, Chairman of the Vitebsk City Executive Committee, presented the Certificate of Inclusion on the Vitebsk City Honor Board to Alexey Chukanov, Rector of the All-Russian State Medical University.

The evening of April 29 flashed with a million lights — the stage of the Vitebsk Concert Hall turned into a center of attraction for beauty, grace and talent. The dazzling show "Miss VSMU–2026" thundered like a holiday that cannot be forgotten!

The show was designed in the majestic style of Olympus: as if the muses and goddesses themselves had descended from heaven to give the hall the magic of perfection. Ten shining stars, ten unique destinies and an ocean of inspiration — all this merged in one breath of the competition. Each participant became the embodiment of an ancient goddess: one captivated with the wisdom of Athena, the other with the grace of Aphrodite, the third with the courage of Artemis.

On April 30, 2026, Vitebsk State Medical University hosted a solemn ceremony of raising the National Flag of the Republic of Belarus, dedicated to Labor Day.

The holiday, which unites representatives of different professions and generations, gives spiritual uplift and energy, is traditionally celebrated at VSMU.

After all, the concepts of Peace and Labor are eternal symbols of creation, the key to the development of society, strengthening the economy and improving the welfare of the people.
