“It is symbolic that in the year of the 75th anniversary of Belarus’ liberation from Nazi invaders, the relay starts here, on this holy land. For us Buinichi Field is a symbol of unparalleled valor and feat in the name of Great Victory. The Flame of Peace is not only a harbinger of the large-scale sports event. It also reminds us that our country lives under peaceful sky,” Mogilev Mayor Vladimir Tsumarev said addressing the ceremony.
