MFA: Tragedy in Iran took away true friends of Belarus
In anticipation of the upcoming Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia and the 1050th anniversary of Vitebsk, Victory Square will be transformed after reconstruction. Artur Strod, Director of the Vitebsk City Construction Department, told a BELTA correspondent about the innovations that residents and guests of the regional center will see.
The main update that Vitebsk residents are eagerly awaiting will be three fountains. "These are conceptually new structures, with no analogues in Belarus. The three fountain basins will feature built-in lighting and musical accompaniment. During celebrations, water jets, which can rise up to 5 meters high, will "dance" to thematic songs and a light show. We have now completed the installation and waterproofing of the first basin and laid paving stones around it. In early June, we will begin trial runs of the fountains in it. In the near future, after a technological break, we will carry out similar work on the other basins. All fountains will be operational by the Forum of Regions," emphasized Artur Strod.
Two stationary LED screens, which the residents of the regional center have already become accustomed to, will be replaced with new ones. They are almost twice as light as their predecessors and feature better resolution, projection, and performance. "By the Forum of Regions, we plan to install two LED information boards. These will be touch screens, like smartphones. They will display information about Victory Square – its history, the changes it has undergone, and the progress of the reconstruction," explained the Director of the Vitebsk City Construction Department.
Builders have also taken care of the region's main New Year's decoration in advance – new wiring has been installed for the future Christmas tree, which gathers everyone, young and old, on Victory Square, so the forest guest's location will remain the same.Regarding the completed work, builders have already replaced the inscription on the residential building facing Victory Square – "The feat of the Soviet people is immortal," and an analogue of the Victory Banner has been erected here. Lighting has been installed on the memorial complex in honor of the Soviet soldiers-liberators, partisans, and underground fighters of Vitebsk region, which projects the colors of the national flag onto the three obelisks. A light-dynamic illumination system is operating on the high-rise building at 5 Beloborodov Street, located at the intersection adjacent to Victory Square. For the convenience of visitors, new benches will also be installed on the square near the fountains.The main part of the reconstruction work on the square in the regional center will be completed by the Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia, which will take place on June 27-28 in Vitebsk, Polotsk, and Novopolotsk, and afterwards, upon completion
