Lukashenko gets set of Soviet awards as gift from Russian defense minister

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko received a set of the Soviet Union awards, which were awarded for military service during the Great Patriotic War, as a gift from Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov on 16 May, BelTA has learned.


The gift is a panel featuring life-size replicas of the Soviet Union awards. The set is called Winners’ Awards. “These are replicas of all the combat awards of the Soviet Union. They are very well made, starting from the Gold Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union,” said Andrei Belousov.

“Andrei Removich [Belousov], I understand that today you are going to bestow all the awards upon me,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said jokingly, welcoming the guest at the Palace of Independence.

“Yes, for sure,” replied Andrei Belousov. “First of all, I would like to convey the warmest words from President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. I spoke with him literally last night.”

“He and I spoke about it [Andrei Belousov's visit to Belarus] the day before yesterday,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
