A memorial at the mass
grave of Soviet soldiers and partisans in Gilibert Park was officially
opened on 30 April following its reconstruction, the Grodno City
Executive Committee told BelTA.
For several months, specialists
from various services worked to restore one of the city's most
significant site of commemoration: the mass grave of Soviet soldiers and
partisans, where 40 servicemen, three partisans and one underground
resistance fighter are buried. Among them are Heroes of the Soviet
Union, Captain Yuri Ivliev and Captain Olga Sanfirova, and resistance
fighter Olga Solomova. The memorial has undergone improvements,
including restoration of the liberator soldier monument, the eternal
flame, and landscaping of the surrounding area.
On 1 May (Labor Day), for the first time since the reconstruction a flower-laying ceremony will be held there.
