Heroes of Battle of Lenino honored in Gorki District
Commemorative events marking the 83rd anniversary of the Battle of Lenino were held in the agro-town of the same name. About 500 people gathered for a rally at the memorial complex. Among them were representatives of Belarus, Poland, and Russia, students, local residents, and guests of the district. Participants laid flowers and wreaths at the monument to Soviet soldiers and the Polish military cemetery. An important part of the commemorative day was the work of search teams, whose field excavations this year uncovered the remains of 25 Soviet soldiers, all currently unidentified. A burial ceremony for six of the fallen was held at a mass grave near the Museum of Soviet-Polish Military Cooperation in Lenino. After the official ceremonies concluded, attendees toured the museum to view its historical exhibits.
