The former deputy head of Lukashenka’s administration, his assistant Alexander Radzkov told the newspaper “Zvyazda” in an interview that together with archaeologist Vyachaslav Kapityn he created the educational and patriotic program “I live in Belarus and I’m proud of it!”. Both worked at the Mogilev Pedagogical Institute when Lukashenka studied there.

According to Radzkov, Lukashenka participated in archaeological expeditions led by Kapitin during his studies at the Faculty of History.

“We can be sure that they also contributed to the formation of our President’s true love for Belarus (Radzkov means Lukashenka – RS),” said Lukashenka’s former aide.

Together with Kapityn, they decided to organize systematic tours of the country, outlining seven main memorable places in each region, which every Belarusian must visit. According to the plan of Radzkov and Kapitin, all these areas should be marked with a sign, a fence, and a gazebo in the future. He involves schools in the implementation of the program, and plans the traffic police and local authorities.

As Radzkov said, the program of mandatory visits to seven iconic places by every Belarusian has slowed down due to the fact that in recent years “Belarusians began to live better.”

“Practically every family has a car, or even more than one. People became families with the pleasure of traveling around the country. The need for a systematic organization of collective bus excursions, as in the Soviet era, has disappeared.” – believes Radzkov.
