86 years Słuck Defence Action

Yesterday was the 86th anniversary of the beginning of the Słuck Defence Action - an armed attempt to defend the independence of Belarus in 1920, after the country was simply divided up between Poland and the Bolsheviks on the Riga Conference, where a delegation from Belarus (unlike Ukraine that was divided there as well) was not even invited to.

Here photos from a celebration organised by the Concervative Christian Party in Słuck at the building where the Słuck Congress took place to announce mobilisation and resistance against approaching bolshevik hordes. So good that Lukashist administration allowed this to take place.

Congratulations from Ivonka Surviłła, current head of BNR government in exile:

We should also remember our young heroes who showed to the whole world this March their readyness to fight for freedom and independence of Belarus


Congratulation letter from Zianon Paźniak, the leader of the Belarusian Popular Front and the Concervative Christian Party, in exile since mid-1990ies:

Słuck Defence Action is a clear example for us: to fight for your country you should not care about how strong your enemy is.
