As Alexey Frantskevich, the head of the charity foundation, told Salidarnasts, not all portraits of the deceased Belarusian heroes are presented at the exhibition (the 15th in a row), since most of their relatives and friends are in Belarus and for the sake of their safety, the names are not disclosed.
The exhibition was organized with the support of the Mykolaiv OVA and the city administration.
The deceased Evgeniy Loginov’s father, Alexander, came to the exhibition to see his son’s portrait. Evgeniy was born in Belarus, and when he was one year old, the family moved to Mykolaiv. The guy was a defender of Azovstal and died at the age of 27.
— As my brother-in-law said, they had 14 people, and they defended the entrances and exits to Azovstal. They fought off a special group that outnumbered them several times. They fought back, but during the battle, our Zhenya died, with a bullet wound in the neck and they said that at least he didn’t suffer,” Alexander Loginov said in an interview with Suspilna Mikolaiv in Mykolaiv.
Evgeniy was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage, third grade.
The head of the foundation, Alexey Frantskevich, notes that the exhibition, like other projects of the organization, exists not because of grants but is financed by Belarusian volunteers, as well as Belarusians living in Ukraine.
Alexey notes that the main goal of the organization is to show the whole world that Belarusians in Ukraine stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Ukrainian people to protect the entire civilized world from Russian aggression. According to him, the administrations of Ukrainian cities, with which cooperation has been established, are supported by both the Belarusian people and the Lukashists.
