Dear veterans, staff and students of the University!

I cordially congratulate you on the 81st anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War!

Victory Day is one of the main moral landmarks of our history. Every Belarusian family lives in the memory of the heroes who gave us a peaceful future and the opportunity to live in a free, independent country.

The Great Patriotic War will forever remain a symbol of indomitable will, fraternal unity and the unparalleled feat of our people. We bow our heads to those who defended their native land at the cost of their lives at the front, in partisan detachments and in the underground.

This sacred holiday reminds us of our high responsibility to preserve peace and historical truth. We must preserve the legacy of the victorious generation, pass on the truth about that war, and resist any attempts to rewrite history. Our strength lies only in solidarity and unity.

May the sky over our Motherland always be peaceful and cloudless!

Happy Great Victory Day!
