MOSCOW, 23 September (BelTA) - Director General of the Belarusian news agency BelTA Irina Akulovich shared the most memorable story from the Destinies Folded in a Triangle project as she talked to journalists on the sidelines of the commemorative concert "Every Third" at the Kremlin Palace in Moscow, BelTA has learned.
The Belarusian news agency BelTA presented the exhibition Destinies Folded in Triangle as part of the Every Third commemorative concert in the Kremlin Palace in Moscow. “A field post office is co-located with BelTA’s exhibition. Today, everyone who comes there can write a letter to their friends and relatives, congratulating them on the 80th anniversary of the Victory, using the traditional soldier’s triangle fold. They can write whatever they deem necessary. This is a joint project of the Belarusian news agency BelTA, the organizers of the Every Third requiem concert, and the Russian Post. Everyone who has come here today can send a letter free of charge,” Irina Akulovich said.
The Destinies Folded in a Triangle project tells 17 stories about 17 soldiers and the letters they wrote to their loved ones. “It is a joint project by BelTA and the Museum of the Great Patriotic War. Today, about 2,300 such letters from soldiers to their relatives and loved ones are kept in Minsk. This is precisely the memory we want to preserve, and we believe it is very important here and now. Each of us is ready to defend our Homeland because Belarus lost every third resident during the Great Patriotic War,” Irina Akulovich said.

Speaking about the most memorable story from the Destinies Folded in a Triangle project, Irina Akulovich shared the story of a boy from Bashkiria. He wrote a letter to his mother: 'Mama, remember me, and if I perish, read my letters.' I say this with tears in my eyes, because this boy died just a few days after sending this letter. Another boy, who, thank God, survived, also wrote a letter to his mother. He found a postcard somewhere, cut out little roses from it, and glued them onto his letter folded in a triangle. Such things touch you deeply. These are the most powerful emotions possible, because it's the war seen through people's destinies,” she said.
