Festive action dedicated to the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Belarus and Russia

On April 2, 2026, on the Day of the Unity of the Peoples of Belarus and Russia, a festive event was held at VSMU.

The solemn ceremony took place symbolically in the Apple Tree Memorial Alley, established on the university grounds a year earlier. The choice of the location was not accidental: the apple tree is a symbol of life, youth, and hope. Students and university staff tied dozens of ribbons in the colors of the two countries’ flags onto the branches. White, blue, and red ribbons intertwined with green and red, creating a vibrant symbol of unity.

As each person tied a ribbon to a branch, they made their most heartfelt wish. However, all shared one common hope: that Belarus and Russia will have a future filled with goodness and prosperity.

This holiday has special significance for Vitebsk State Medical University because medicine knows no borders. For decades, doctors, pharmacists, and scientists have been united by a common scientific school, shared approaches to treatment, and the core value of human life. That is why the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Belarus and Russia is always celebrated warmly at VSMU.
