Pirogovsky village council celebrated its anniversary

Someone said: "There is no small homeland - the homeland is always great." We were able to see this for ourselves when we attended a ceremonial meeting in the SDC of the ag. Yakubovo, where festive events were held in connection with the 100th anniversary of the Pirogovsky Village Council. The celebration brought together those who not only remember most of the history of the village council, but also created it with their labor.

She addressed special words of gratitude to a person who made a great contribution to the education of more than one generation of residents of the village council, former teacher of the Belarusian language and literature Natalia Vladimirovna Karmanova.

And, as our President said, "if we lose the village, we lose the state." In this regard, one cannot underestimate the role of village councils in creating the necessary living conditions in the territory of populated areas and in preserving the traditions and history of a particular area. He thanked the residents of the village council for their active life position and worthy labor contribution to the well-being of the region and the country as a whole.
