An 81-meter-long state flag in honor of the 81st anniversary of the Soviet people's victory in the Great Patriotic War was carried across the main square of Gomel, from Lenin Avenue to the Regional Board of Honor, on the Day of the State Flag, State Emblem, and State Anthem of the Republic of Belarus. The right to carry the flag was given to best representatives of the youth - athletes who have achieved success and the coaches who trained the ‘stars of the Olympus’.
