In 2019 Belarus marks a significant event — the 75th liberation anniversary from German fascist invaders. On June 23, 1944 the Belorussian Operation (the codename Bagration) began. It was one of the largest strategic offensive operations of the Red Army in the Great Patriotic War. It was completed on August 29, 1944. As a result of the Belorussian Operation not only the entire territory of Belarus was liberated, but also the largest part of Lithuania, part of Latvia and eastern regions of Poland. Soviet troops approached the borders of East Prussia that created favorable conditions for the liberation of a number of European countries and the defeat of fascist Germany. |
