On September 10, the Minsk Radio Engineering College hosted a Unified Information Day on the topic: “National Unity Day as a factor of national pride.”

First-year students of group 6k9591 met with journalist Leonid Frantsevich Dubanevich .
Leonid Frantsevich spoke about the facts of Polish ethnocide against Belarusians. Poland's policy was aimed at the destruction of ethnic traits and complete assimilation, when one people “dissolves” in another, losing its language, culture, traditions, customs, when the very right of a people to be called a people is denied. And only on September 17, 1939, Belarusians received the opportunity to live in a single state, carry out socio-economic transformations, develop culture and education in the interests of the entire people.
The speaker quoted the Head of State: “The memory of this event lives in the hearts of Belarusians, because it became an act of historical justice in relation to the Belarusian people, divided against their will. This is why sovereignty and independence are needed – so that we are never again divided against our will. September 17 symbolizes the inviolability of the territorial and ethnic consolidation of the Belarusian nation." The speaker recalled that a new holiday appeared in our calendar in accordance with the Decree of the Head of State
Alexander Lukashenko June 7, 2021. And the idea of establishing National Unity Day was voiced at the highest level in February 2021 at the VI All-Belarusian National meeting, held under the slogan “Unity. Development. Independence.” Leonid Frantsevich noted that National Unity Day has become, like the universally revered Victory Day and Independence Day of the Republic of Belarus, a living connection of times, the foundation on which we, Belarusians, independently build our future.
Леонид Францевич отметил, что День народного единства стал, как и чтимые всеми День Победы и День Независимости Республики Беларусь, живой связью времен, тем фундаментом, на котором мы, белорусы, самостоятельно строим свое будущее.
