Freedom Day marked in Belarus
Belarus is marking 95th anniversary of Belarusian National Republic
The Third Statutory Obligation was signed on March 25, 1918. The document announced Belarus an independent state.
The holiday was common in Western Belarus during the interwar period. It was celebrated by emigrants after the World War II. Only a small group of dissidents marked it in the BSSR (the Soviet republic).
The celebration of the Freedom Day was revived at the turn of the 1990s. Political actions, meetings and manifestations have been organized in Minsk and other Belarusian cities since the beginning of the 1990s.
