Dignity Day
Uladzimir Nyaklyayew

December 19 will be one of main symbols of our struggle for freedom, independence and dignity.

December 19 is the anniversary of Square-2010.

How many versions about those events have been voiced! Notorious and offensive ones. Offensive ones were issued by cowards who spent the day at home and adherents to Lukashenka scared by a wave of the Belarusian spirit. But this story is not about them...

Today we say goodbye to writer Leanid Marakou. I have never asked him whether he himself was on the Square, but thousands of Belarusians, the best sons of the fatherland, victims of Stalinism, communist terror saved by Marakou from oblivion were there! They were standing side by side in silence. And let them be silent, but:

"We knew about what they were silent!...

The living with the dead. And the dead with the living ones.

Journalist Uladzimir Khilmanovich has recently launched the book "The Belarusian Gold", he told about the most famous places and events of our history. And the Square was one of them:

"Much time passes, and December 19, 2010 will be in line with March 25, July 27 as a milestone in the fight for our statehood, freedom, the truth, justice, eternal law "to be called humans" and will become a separate historical value of our country. And the Dignity Stella will be installed on Kalinouski Square."

It will be so.

"Our dream of freedom eternally

Makes us through lands and waters,

It's like the sun that always shines,

The star that never fades away!"

Our mission is not accomplished, it has been just suspended.

Long live Belarus!

Uladzimir Nyaklyayew
