Insider: Kachanava to Award Propagandists, Tur to Receive Certificate

Administrators of the official Telegram channel of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus mistakenly published a file containing proposals for awards on the occasion of Press Day. The list includes employees of state media selected for recognition.

The message with the file was published at 16:29:07+03 and immediately deleted, but the Reform.news editorial team managed to save it.
