Deputy Chairman of the regional executive committee Angelika Nikitina about the festival in Orsha:
For the second time, we meet the festival "Field of Flowers" – a celebration of Belarusian flax, the northern silk of our country. It is no coincidence that it is held in the Orsha region, which, through its traditions and labor, glorifies our textile industry, – noted Anzhelika Nikitina.
– Orsha is a city of textile workers, those people who dedicate their entire lives to their profession and pass on their experience and craft to other generations, preserving both traditions and modernity. Orsha is a city where today the best enterprise in the post-Soviet space operates – the Orsha Flax Plant. I am confident that the interest in the homeland of our northern gold, in the flax festival, will become international, rivaling both the Slavic Bazaar and Viva Braslav.
