Judging by the video, the congratulatory message was recorded in the agro-town of Alexandria, the native land of the president. Aleksandr Lukashenko was riding a Ural motorcycle with a sidecar and a beacon light through the streets of the agro-town.
It is unclear whether the choice of this particular vehicle was random or not, but it has a certain symbolism and shades of nostalgia. The traffic police started using the Ural motorcycles in the 1960s and these motorcycles were very popular for a number of years. For example, this motorcycle was featured in the legendary Soviet movie Beware of the Car: car thief Yuri Detochkin was pursued by an inspector who rode this vehicle.
