Orshans have joined the campaign to create a people's monument "Living Memory of Grateful Generations"

Today at the railway station Orsha-Central, a collection jar for coins has been installed for the opening of the third national monument "Living Memory of Grateful Generations." As participants of the event told the journalist of the "Arshanskaya Gazeta," the project, implemented on the initiative of the local charitable foundation named after Alexei Talai, started last year and is taking place in Belarus and Russia.

The event "Living Memory of Grateful Generations" for coin collection is an opportunity for every citizen to symbolically express their gratitude to the generation of victorious ancestors by donating a coin and to participate in the creation of the third national monument. It is planned to be installed on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow in 2025 for the anniversary of the Great Victory and in memory of the heroes of the Fatherland of all times. Such a monument has already been installed in Minsk in 2022 and in the Brest Fortress in 2024.

On March 4, 2025, the state association "Belarusian Railway" joined the project. Collection jars for coins will be installed in all regional centers and major railway hubs of Belarus.

At the railway station in Orsha, the event was attended by the chairwoman of the Orsha District Council of Deputies, Inna Khomutovskaya, the assistant head of the Minsk branch of the Belarusian Railway, Sergey Shurov, and the leaders and teams of enterprises of the Orsha railway hub. They dropped the first coins on behalf of grateful Orsha residents into the foundation of the new monument.

Coins and paper banknotes that are in circulation in the Republic of Belarus or the Russian Federation will be used to finance the creation of the monument. Soviet and other coins will be included in the alloy of the monument.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the event. In Orsha, the jar will be located until March 31, 2025, near the ticket offices of the railway station.
