Over 10,000 participants: the "For Safety - Together!" campaign became a highlight of the festival in Vitebsk
The campaign was attended by the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Belarus, Dmitry Korzyuk. He familiarized himself with the numerous locations of police units set up on Victory Square.
– The Ministry of Internal Affairs' "For Security - Together!" campaign took place in a wonderful festival atmosphere. During these days, Vitebsk has become a true cultural capital, attracting a huge number of guests from Belarus and abroad. It was important to create a comfortable and safe atmosphere for them, and I believe we succeeded. Thanks, in part, to the efforts of the police, people felt the true Belarusian hospitality. The Ministry of Internal Affairs' campaign was harmoniously integrated into the fabric of the "Slavianski Bazaar." Not only children but also adults, having visited all our locations and interactive platforms, became convinced: we work openly and have presented information to people about almost all units – internal and special troops, traffic police, riot police, criminal police, the Department of Security, – noted Dmitry Korzyuk.
The Deputy Minister thanked the festival organizers and assured that in the future, events organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be just as spectacular and informative.
Over four days, more than 10,000 people visited the police's themed areas and received flyers for doing so. On the final day, they participated in a mountain bike raffle. The lucky winner of the super prize was Olga Brueva from Vitebsk, who, along with her 12-year-old son Artyom, completed the entire interactive route. The main prize was presented to the winners by Dmitry Korzyuk. Also participating in the award ceremony were the director of the International Arts Forum "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk," Gleb Lapitsky, Belarusian singer Gunesh, and Russian performer Artur Rudenko.
The final event of the "For Safety - Together!" campaign featured a spectacular reenactment of the battle for the defense of Surazh by a police regiment under the command of the Head of the Vitebsk Regional Internal Affairs Directorate, Alexander Radyuk, in 1941, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. Afterwards, the audience was treated to demonstration performances by special units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and trainees from military-patriotic clubs. The large-scale event concluded with the "Let's Sing the Anthem Together!" campaign.
