Sergeyenko: new Belarusian elite being formed in various spheres

The Head of Belarus’ President Administration, Igor Sergeyenko, shared his opinion at today’s ceremony of presenting the Presidential awards, saying that a new Belarusian elite is being formed in the country now in various spheres. He stressed the special significance of the work of the Lynx military-patriotic club – functioning on the basis of the Interior Ministry’s military unit No. 3214 – that was among For Spiritual Revival awardees.

“I asked a third-year pupil whether she is interested in studies, and the girl said she is. This club is the best one, it was one of the first [established in the country], and it attracts young people. It is possible to assert that a new Belarusian elite is being formed – not only in the military sphere, but also in various ones. A country is alive when its culture and history live, when all these are being passed down from one generation to another. We recognise the best, but there are hundreds of such people in our country. I believe there will be new laureates next year,” Mr. Sergeyenko said.
