"The true scale of fascist aggression is impossible to accept and come to terms with. No diaries, documents, or chronicles can convey what people endured. Our people gave a worthy rebuff to the enemy; for 1418 days and nights, battles raged on the territory of the region. More than 120,000 of its residents fought on the fronts, and Vitebsk region lost every third person. Our compatriots did not falter. Love for their land, for the Motherland, and the unity of the people became the main shield of the Great Victory," emphasized the head of the region.
