On the morning of November 7, a solemn rally dedicated to the anniversary of the October Revolution was held on the capital’s Independence Square. It was attended by the leadership of the Minsk City Executive Committee and the Minsk City Council, diplomats from friendly countries — the Russian Federation, China, the DPRK, Vietnam, and Cuba; deputies of local Councils, representatives of labour collectives and trade unions in Minsk, leaders of the Communist Party of Belarus and patriotic public organizations, as well as guests of our capital.
The staff of the UE «BELGIPROLES» took part in the solemn event.

On this day, official greetings and speeches, poems by schoolchildren, and personal stories were heard in the square. For some, the October Revolution is an important milestone in world history; for others, it is a family tradition, a memory of a grandfather who once lifted a child into his arms during a demonstration, or old banners that have been kept at home for decades.
Perhaps this is precisely what constituted the main emotional focus of the Minsk celebration: history comes to life not only in textbooks and official speeches. It continues in family stories, old photographs, childhood memories, and in what people pass on to one another from generation to generation.
