This is the first Belarusian city on the way of a column of 15 pieces of equipment. Both old and new combat vehicles take part in the race. Almost fifty activists fr om Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Uzbekistan and Belarus take part in the race. The action is dedicated to the 77th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.
