On 30 May, visitors to the complex will see a reenactment of the 1939 reunification of Belarus and the battle fought by a border outpost in June 1941. The \u201cSoldiers of Victory\u201d Military-Patriotic Club and military vehicles from the Great Patriotic War will take part.<\/p>\n

The year 2026 marks the 85th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. Border outposts were among the first to face the enemy assault in the opening hours and days of the war. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Soviet border guards displayed courage, fortitude and devotion to military duty, defending the frontiers of their Motherland to the last. Their feat became a symbol of indomitable will, self-sacrifice and devotion to the Fatherland.<\/p>\n

Border Guards Day is celebrated on 28 May because it was on this day in 1918 that a decree of the Council of People\u2019s Commissars established the Border Guard Service of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, which at the time also encompassed Belarusian lands. The Main Directorate of the Border Guard Service was established at the same time, with all officers of the former Directorate of the Separate Russian Border Guard Corps transferring to it. The border guards\u2019 honour and dignity, indomitable will and unwavering devotion to duty, together with their readiness for self-sacrifice, enabled them to defend the frontiers of the Fatherland and laid the foundations for the coming Victory in the Great Patriotic War.\u00a0After gaining independence, Belarus retained the tradition of celebrating Border Guards Day on 28 May as a tribute to the feat of the Soviet border guards.<\/p>\n

In addition to the main event programme, several interactive areas will be open to visitors. Everyone will have the opportunity to test their skills in a history quiz, airgun shooting, weapon assembly and disassembly, grenade throwing and other workshops. The most active participants in the Ready for Labour and Defence (GTO) area will receive certificates and valuable prizes.<\/p>\n
