Prime Minister Aleksandr Turchin told reporters about the progress of spring field work in Belarus while beautifying a mass grave near the village of Pyatevshchina in Minsk District during the nationwide community clean-up day (subbotnik).
Aleksandr Turchin noted that spring field work in Belarus is only a small part of agricultural work, because most of the cereals that are sown are, of course, sown in winter. “As for spring sowing, it is understandable that I don’t see any problems or issues with that. There is also a very significant amount of work left – corn. [It occupies] a large area in the country. The weather conditions allow us to do this work. We need to work intensively to complete the sowing of this crop within the established agrotechnical timeframes,” he emphasized.
Fuel, machines, and people are available, this is why the key thing is proper organization of the work and having a good weather, the Head of Government noted.
The Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Ministers, and the leadership of the Council of Ministers Office are working on 18 April to landscape a mass grave where 45 soldiers of the Red Army and partisans are buried. They fell in battles during the defense of the village of Pyatevshchina in June 1941 and during its liberation in June 1944.
The funds earned from the spring community clean-up day will be channeled toward the creation of a permanent exhibition at the National History Museum of Belarus, which is currently under construction, as well as other related work.
