All the lies of the West are broken against the walls of the Brest fortress – Gigin about the 55th anniversary of the memorial

Today, September 25, marks 55 years since the opening of the Brest Hero Fortress memorial complex. The importance of this object in the context of preserving historical memory in the talk show “Budni” on the YouTube channel “SBTV” and “Alfa Radio” discussed the Deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly, General Director of the National Library of Belarus Vadim Gigin, reports sb.by.

First of all, he noted that the leadership of the memorial complex is full of plans:

- The exposition is constantly updated. Everything is done there to receive as many guests as possible, because the interest is really great, especially on landmark dates. I will never forget the year 2021, when people walked in a continuous stream for more than a day. And interest is undiminished. Why? Despite all the enemy propaganda, attempts to smear, slander the feat of defenders of the fortress, our opponents do not succeed. Brest fortress became a symbol. The banner above the Reichstag is a symbol of Victory, Stalingrad is a symbol of the courage of our fighters during the years of a radical change in the course of hostilities, Khatyn is a symbol of the tragedy, the genocide that was carried out against our people, and the Brest Fortress is a symbol of the beginning of that terrible war. Speaking about the tragic events of 1941, we simultaneously recall the heroism of our people, the unprecedented feat that they performed. And the walls of the fortress are a vivid testimony.

- On the wall of the Brest Fortress, all the lies are broken, which the whole industry in the West, created for this. It is simply impossible to overestimate the importance of the fortress. The memorial created is a symbol of the continuity of generations. This is a memorial facing the future, to new citizens of Belarus, Russia and other countries. No one should forget what evil Nazism brought and that evil must always be fought. The feat of the defenders of the Brest fortress is a symbol.

Summing up the topic, Vadim Gigin noted that the Brest Hero Fortress memorial complex is actively visited not only by Belarusians and Russians, but also by people from Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and many other countries:

- I saw people of different nationalities there. And those who haven’t yet want to do it. I have heard from many foreign politicians and cultural figures from different continents that they have a dream to come to Belarus and visit the fortress.
