Who are the Lutskevich brothers?
Anton and Ivan Lutskevich were the members of the first Rada of the Belarusian People's Republic. Anton Lutskevich was one of the initiators of the Third Charter of the BPR of March 25, 1918, according to which the state declared its independence.
A memorial sign in honor of the ideologists of the Belarusian statehood Anton and Ivan Lutskevich was installed last year in March in the Yakub Kolas park in Minsk.
Before World War II, residential buildings were located at the site of the Yanka Kupala Park. The Lutskevich brothers moved to Minsk in 1896 and lived on the then Sadovaya Street. Here, near the present Kupala museum, stood the house of the Lutskevich family.
