Lukashenko: Slavianski Bazaar's history uninterrupted by crises or pandemic

Lukashenko: "The history of the festival has not been interrupted by crises or the pandemic. The whole world was in lockdown, but the callsigns of the Slavianski Bazaar sounded from Vitebsk. Vitebsk showed and said that true art has never had and never will have barriers."

"Just imagine: over the entire period, more than 18,000 artists have performed on the amphitheater stage," said the Head of State. "During the days of the Slavianski Bazaar, so many people come to us that the city doubles in size. All this is not just numbers. Every guest, every participant is a creator of the festival's history. These are our traditional friends, and friends forever."
