Lukashenko on October Revolution Day: 'We are the only post-Soviet country to keep this holiday'

Lukashenko on the celebration of October Revolution Day: 'We are the only country in the post-Soviet space that has preserved this holiday.' 'I was in favor of keeping this holiday. Not everyone understands why we did it. This is a tribute to history. You cannot throw stones at history, because it will respond harshly. We don't need to look far for examples,' the Belarusian leader emphasized during the opening of the new City Infectious Disease Hospital in Minsk. The opening of the facility is timed to the upcoming holiday — October Revolution Day.
