15-metre sign at entrance to Salihorsk painted white-red-white

Activists of the Partisan art group wanted to congratulate residents of Salihorsk and all Belarusians on the anniversary of the Battle of Orsha.

Nasha Niva writes about it.

“500 years ago, Hetman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Kanstantsin Astrozhski (Konstanty Ostrogski) defeated the enemy and stopped the aggression of Moscow, though the Moscow forces exceeded the Lithuania troops three times. The victory of Orsha became known all over Europe and became a brilliant example in Belarusian military history.

Being the descendants of the winners, we should pay tribute to the heroes and learn courage and firmness from them. Glory to Orsha! Long live Belarus!” activists say in their congratulation.
