Vasil Bykov street to appear in Hrodna

The Hrodna City Mapping Commission has proposed to name one of the new streets in Hrodna after Belarus people's writer Vasil Bykov. According to commission secretary Volha Matsko, it will be a picturesque street, close to the city center with housing blocks and shops and offices on the ground floor. Volha Matsko noted that proposals of her commission were just recommendations. The next stages are the decisions of the city hall, city council and justice department. This could take some time.

Volha Matsko also said her commmission's initiative had nothing to do with the recent visit of Say the Truth campaign activists to Hrodna. Euroradio reported earlier that on June 22, Say the Truth campaigned for naming one of the streets after Vasil Bykov. But no petitions in this regard were received by Hrodna Town Hall.
