A public garden was opened in Shumilino in honor of the district's 100th anniversary
Among them are Mikhail Zimyanin (diplomat and Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU), Alexander Dubko (Hero of Belarus, former Chairman of the Grodno Regional Executive Committee), representatives of the famous Obol underground resistance movement Yefrosinya Zienkova and Zinaida Portnova, who were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, and the renowned biathlete Anna Sola.
- Shumilino land has always been a fertile region. Recently, the region has been developing, and new facilities are appearing. This land is becoming more beautiful and comfortable, - noted the Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee, Alexander Subbotin.
Congratulating his fellow countrymen on the anniversary, the Chairman of the Shumilino District Executive Committee, Sergey Galynchik, noted that the history of the region includes significant events such as the granting of Magdeburg Rights to the town of Sirotino in the 18th century, the official approval of the coat of arms of the Grebnitsky family (which is now the coat of arms of Shumilino District), the construction of a section of the Riga-Oryol Railway, and the erection of one of the oldest railway stations in Belarus. However, over the last 100 years, the foundation of Belarusian statehood has been laid, of which the current generations are a part. Many remarkable people have inscribed their names in the annals of Shumilino District, glorifying the region with feats on the battlefield and through their labor. Sergey Galynchik emphasized that life moves forward, and the best years are undoubtedly ahead.
– By cherishing our historical heritage, preserving the best traditions, cultural and spiritual values, all together, by uniting our efforts, we will solve many important tasks, and we will also certainly achieve our set goals, - expressed the regional leader with confidence.
