October Revolution Day: memory, traditions, continuity

On 7 November, the Republic of Belarus celebrated October Revolution Day – a date that recalls the large-scale changes of the 20th century and the importance of carefully preserving historical experience.

The events of 1917 became the starting point for profound transformations that largely determined the path of development of our country. Drawing on this heritage, we learn to value peace, stability and constructive labour. Today this holiday is a tribute to the memory of the generations whose efforts created the foundation for the development of Belarus, a symbol of the continuity of traditions and respect for the history of our native land.

On this day, the staff of the Gomeloblhydromet Branch of Belhydromet, headed by its Director Igor Grishchenko, took part in a ceremonial rally on Lenin Square.

The event dedicated to the celebration of October Revolution Day brought together representatives of the regional and city authorities, labour collectives, veterans, members of public organizations and political parties, as well as young people. For the younger generation, immersing themselves in the events of the past is especially important for understanding the path the country has travelled.

The tradition of gathering on 7 November at the monument to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin remains significant for the residents and guests of Gomel.

The participants of the rally were reminded of the salvo of the legendary cruiser Aurora, which heralded a new page in history – the emergence on the world map of a young communist state. 109 years ago, the foundation was laid for a great country of which we continue to be a part. Numerous achievements and labour successes, a source of pride for our people, are associated with the name of October. We have inherited from generations of workers and peasants diligence and love for our country, which is the foundation of all spheres of our life today.

We wish everyone good health, well-being, harmony and confidence in the future. May every day bring reasons to be proud of your country and your work!
