Minsk hosted the solemn opening of the exhibition "War. No comments"

To the Victory Day, the information agency and radio "Sputnik Belarus" with the support of the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Minsk opened a joint project - a unique exhibition of photos of the Great Patriotic War.

The exhibition, which includes 50 little-known images from the archives of the Soviet Information Bureau, reflecting the path traversed by the agency's photo correspondents together with Soviet soldiers in 1941-1945, is available to all comers from May 2 to 11 on the first floor of the capital's shopping center "Galleria Minsk".

At the opening ceremony of the exhibition "War. No comments" the Ministers of Information and Culture of the Republic of Belarus, the head of "Sputnik Belarus", as well as the head of the Minsk office of Rossotrudnichestvo delivered their speeches.

Minister of Culture of the Republic of Belarus Yury Bondar noted that among the photos presented at the exhibition there are unique photographs: the first dead German soldier and the first German prisoners, as well as the terrible footage from the camp near Borisov, where Soviet citizens were shot. These unknown pages of the great war deserve to be immortalized.

Sergey Kruppo, the head of the Rossotrudnichestvo office in the Republic of Belarus, expressed his hope that during the week during which the exhibition will be available to the audience, it will find a response in the hearts of many, and also noted that such exhibitions are "a tribute to all those who folded their heads in the fields battles. To those who suffered in the occupation. Those who liberated, those who settled the whole country after the victory".

"We should not forget that it was a war of annihilation. We should understand what our people went through. We should understand that this terrible and horrible event should never happen again on our land", - said the head of "Sputnik Belarus" Andrei Kachura at the opening of the exhibition.
