Representatives of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno became participants of the International Forum "Great Heritage – Common Future"

On June 20–22, on the initiative of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union of Belarus and Russia, the International Forum of the Union State "Great Heritage – Common Future" was held. Our representatives also became part of this large-scale event.

The forum was timed to coincide with the 85th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War and was held with the aim of preserving and protecting the historical memory of the feat of the Soviet people in the fight against fascism and countering the ideology of neo-Nazism.

The participants of the event included leadership and deputies of the Parliamentary Assembly, foreign parliamentary delegations, members of the Youth Chamber at the Parliamentary Assembly, as well as leading experts from the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation. Among those interested in protecting historical memory was also a delegation of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno, which took part in the forum in an online format.

During the event, participants discussed pressing issues of preserving common historical memory, the development of patriotism and civic consciousness among young people based on historical knowledge, fostering respect for the feats of ancestors and careful attitude to historical and cultural heritage, as well as the protection of historical truth. Special emphasis was placed on countering the ideology of neo-Nazism.

The participation of our representatives in such a large-scale patriotic event demonstrates the readiness of YKSUG not only to discuss but also to actively contribute to the preservation of the historical memory of the feat of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.
