The leadership of the Vitebsk region congratulates residents and guests on the 1052nd anniversary of Vitebsk and the 82nd anniversary of liberation from the Nazi invaders

Vitebsk is a living chronicle, woven from heroic feats and labor achievements. Its glorious history is rooted in the depths of centuries, preserving the memory of great princes, courageous defenders, and talented creators.

The city on the Western Dvina has always been a crossroads of cultures and civilizations, a place where new ideas are born and bold dreams are realized.

Today, Vitebsk rightfully bears the title of the cultural capital of Belarus, the heart of the international arts festival "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" – a unique festival that will gather talents for the 35th time, uniting peoples and continents through creativity and art.

But the main wealth of Vitebsk is its people. Hardworking, talented, initiative-taking, who every day create the city's history, multiply its glory, and build its future. Thanks to you, Vitebsk is dynamically developing, increasing its socio-economic potential.

We wish the residents and guests of Vitebsk good health, happiness, peace, well-being, and success in all endeavors for the benefit of their native city!
