Introduction
In the thirties of the 20-th century on the Western border of the former USSR a network of defense military fortifications was built. These fortifications stretched from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. All in all 23 fortified zones were constructed including 4 on the territory of Belarus.
In those days the Western border in Belarus was within 35-40 km from Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
All this network of defense installations is also known in the world as “Stalin Line” (we are sure you still remember the name…).
Over 60 years by now the sky has been peaceful over Belarus and we are confident it will last forever.
But the memory of those days will always be cherished in Belarus. During 1941 – 1945 Great Patriotic War the life of 1 in every 3 inhabitants of Belarus was lost.
On June, 30, 2005, there took place the ceremonial opening of “Stalin Line”, historical and cultural complex reconstructed in strict conformity with what it used to be in prewar years near the town of Zaslavl (35 km from Minsk). The management of the complex is of the opinion that it is one of the largest in the world. Separate fortifications were restored in Finland, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, but the complete complex is only in Belarus (total area is 40 hectares) and in France (“Maginot Line”)…
When on the territory of the complex you can do everything – get into 2 or 3-embrasure pillbox and to become “a machine-gunner”, sit down on a chair of a gun-layer and become an artillery man, stroll along trenches or climb up the tank, one of the museum of military equipment exhibits, just to feel yourself in combat situation on the front line of defense… and thank God, this is not a reality but only a touch to the history the memory of which will be preserved in souvenirs bought from there and photos taken.
Every year on July, 3 Belarus celebrates its Independence Day and there are plans to organize on the day prior some kind of theatrical performance reviving those first days of fascist invasion to Belarus (please, be in contact with us).
