A rally dedicated to the Day of Remembrance of Internationalist Soldiers and the 37th anniversary of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan was held in the city of Miory.
On February 15, Afghan War veterans, representatives of labor collectives and organizations, public associations, school students, and residents of the Miory district gathered at the Square of Remembrance of Fallen Fighters.
A minute of silence was observed in memory of five young men — Sergey Zakrevsky, Petr Brinkevich, Vladimir Metelitsa, Sergey Stankovich, and Sergey Shlyapov, natives of the Miory district, who lost their lives while fulfilling their international duty.
A wreath and flowers were laid at the memorial obelisk "Black Tulip".
