Congratulations on the Day of the Defender of the Fatherland and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus


On behalf of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and my own behalf, I congratulate you on the Day of the Defender of the Fatherland and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus.

This real men’s holiday symbolizes the military valor of our people and the continuity of generations in the selfless service of the Motherland. This day is a tribute to those who gave their lives for their Motherland and with unprecedent heroism defended the right of our people to freedom and the opportunity to be the master in their native land.

During the Eastern Front of World War II, the staff of the Academy of Sciences of BSSR fought bravely at the fronts with arms with hand, took part in the partisan movement, in the underground struggle in the temporary occupied territory. In the post-war period, the scientist of the NASB never stood aside from research related to the issues of increasing the defense capability of our country. Scientists make a significant contribution to the development of dual-use technologies: new materials, super-powerful machine parts, high-tech equipment, unmanned aerial system, etc.

Many employees of the Academy of Science have served in the armed forces, have military ranks and awards. We are always defending the Motherland. But in the 21st century all conflicts must be resolved through negotiations, in the language of the diplomacy, through the development of all-round mutually beneficial cooperation.

I wish you stamina, strength of character and success in all your endeavors!

Happiness, life, full of peace, health and prosperity.

Let all your dreams come true!

Happy Holiday!

Vladimir Gusakov,
The Chairman of the Presidium of the NASB, Academician
