Presentation of the Book “Stalin Line”

On 14 May at 13:00, the Belarusian Encyclopaedia publishing house will hold a presentation of its book “Stalin Line” at the complex.

The event is open not only to journalists, but also to everyone interested in history. The first part of the book covers the construction and purpose of the Stalin Line’s defensive structures and their role in the war. The second part is devoted to our historical and cultural complex, which bears the name Stalin Line. This large-format illustrated book features numerous photographs of the complex’s fortifications, military vehicles, historical reenactments and special events held here.

Visitors will be able to purchase the book at the presentation and have it signed by its author, Boris Prokazov.

We look forward to welcoming you to Stalin Line!
