During the seminar, issues related to the role of the Urals, in particular the Sverdlovsk region, in the field of assistance in the restoration of industry in the Western region of Belarus in the post-war period were discussed. Vladimir Zapariy also proposed a possible topic for a joint interdisciplinary project related to the industrial cultural and historical heritage of the BSSR – the Republic of Belarus.
