Veterans of local wars and conflicts, as well as labour veterans of the Russian Federation and Belarus, are undergoing health improvement at the Lepel Military Sanatorium.

  Today, the visitors toured the Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War and Ostrov Slyoz (Island of Tears) in Minsk. On the territory of the Ostrov Slyoz memorial complex, they learned about the large boulder stones bearing the names of Afghan provinces where Soviet troops fought, and consequently, where Belarusians perished.

  The Chairman of the district organization of the Public Association "BSVVA" (Belarusian Union of Veterans of the War in Afghanistan), Sergey Krivel, spoke about the organization's activities, its work on the military-patriotic education of youth, the preservation and perpetuation of the memory of fallen soldiers, and much more.
