“In a short period of time, the Marathon has traveled to 15 cities in all regions of the country since September of last year, demonstrating our culture, rich history and traditions - something we can be rightfully proud of,” Roman Golovchenko said.
“The Marathon of Unity reminded us how rich our history is, how diverse our culture is. And most importantly, it shows us how hardworking, intelligent and talented Belarusians are,” the prime minister emphasized.
“Today the Marathon of Unity is hosted by one of the oldest and most beautiful cities of Belarus,” Roman Golovchenko said. “Grodno is a city of the unique history and a special atmosphere. The city, founded in the early 12th century as a small fortress, thanks to its favorable position and the efforts of its residents, has become a center of crafts and trade in a short period of time by historical standards. The riches of this city have always attracted both traders and numerous conquerors. Some people still can't get over the fact that this beautiful land belongs to us, the Belarusians, whose ancestors have been watering this land with their sweat and blood for centuries. Grodno has always fought back uninvited guests, and the memory of those who liberated their native land from enemies is sacredly honored in the city above the Neman.”
