SPECIAL REPORT: How a successful business lady from Brest thinks out-of-the-box and preserves memory about war heroes What is a patriot and what is patriotism? I think those are people, who create and unite first and foremost. Natalia Ilnitskaya, a business lady from Brest and a member of the Belarusian Union of Journalists, has taken it upon herself to spend her own resources in order to implement a unique patriotic project, which is unparalleled in the European space and the post-Soviet one: she is creating an alley of memory using monuments to Red Army soldiers, who fell in Poland. The monuments were taken down and brought from Europe. Ordinary residents of Polish populated localities spent their own money on setting up these monuments after World War Two as a token of gratitude to the Red Army soldiers, who had saved them from the Nazi. Now the Brest lady saves these obelisks from oblivion and historical forgetfulness.
