"Building the future based on the experience of the past": Lukashenko holds a meeting with ideological activists and experts

One of the topics the head of state outlined during the meeting was the pantheon of national heroes. According to Alexander Lukashenko, this topic is very sensitive.

"We also need to understand who is a hero, who is an enemy, who contributed to world culture, science, and history while maintaining a connection to their homeland, and who did the same but renounced their identity. We are not erasing anyone from our history. But the emphasis must be made clearly and, preferably, without half measures," he emphasized.

At the same time, the President stated, the official position must be just as clearly substantiated and reflected in information sources. "There is only one criterion: devotion to the interests of one's native land and people," he added
