“On one of the next Freedom Days I will chose someone from you, my dear young people, take to a public notary and make over my flat to you,” a Minsk dweller wrote in a letter to “Nasha Niva” editorial office.
“I am 74. It happens so that I lead a lonely life,” the woman writes. “I do not want to mention old tragedies…
I am writing to inform that I have decided to leave as a legacy my two-room flat to a young man or a girl from a patriotic movement, to the one like Sevyarynets, Dashkevich, Finkevich. I see how much they are doing for our Belarus not to disappear, for our language to live.
I know they have no time for making money. And how could they earn when flats have such huge costs. The purpose is to prevent people from earning enough to buy a flat themselves, so that they would depend on the Soviets who are staying in power.
Remember, that when I will feel myself weak, on one of the next Freedom Days I will choose someone from you, my dear young people, take to a public notary and make over my flat to you. Then the results of my life won’t perish, but will find a good soil and will do good for our Motherland.
And Belarus will live while you are living, my dear!”
