A ceremonial unveiling of an information plaque installed at the birthplace of Kastu\u015b Kalino\u016dski<\/strong>\u00a0took place in the Polish village of Mostowlany (Micha\u0142owo Commune, Bia\u0142ystok County). The event was attended by Pavel Latushka<\/b>, deputy head of the United Transitional Cabinet and head of the National Anti-Crisis Management.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, the politician thanked the authorities of Bia\u0142ystok County, the communes of Micha\u0142owo and Gr\u00f3dek \u2014 whose representatives were present \u2014 as well as all participants in the initiative to memorialize the Kalino\u016dski estate and park complex in Mostowlany for their work in preserving the memory of the national hero of Belarus, who brings together Belarusians, Poles, and Lithuanians.<\/p>\n

In his speech, he emphasized the symbolic meaning of Kalino\u016dski\u2019s well-known words: \u201c\u2013 Whom do you love? \u2013 I love Belarus. \u2013 Then it is mutual.\u201d<\/i> According to him, these lines embody patriotism and the belief that Belarusians will be able to reclaim their country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the words of a hero who showed us that Belarusians are strong and powerful, that in our history there were, are, and will be heroes. For me, as a Belarusian, such heroes are the volunteers of the Kalino\u016dski Regiment, who took this name as a symbol of the struggle for the independence and freedom of our Homeland, our Fatherland,\u201d<\/i> his statement was quoted by the press service of the United Transitional Cabinet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also recall that when I served as minister of culture, I asked the director of the National Art Museum to place in the minister\u2019s office a work of art \u2014 it was a piece depicting Kastu\u015b Kalino\u016dski addressing insurgents. It hung in the minister\u2019s office until the last day of my tenure. The next day, when the new minister entered the office, he ordered it removed. Officials who are now trying to destroy the memory of Kastu\u015b Kalino\u016dski, think again. Do you want Russia to dominate Belarusian soil? Do you want Belarus to become a subject of the Russian Federation? And no matter how difficult things are for us today, we must continue to believe and fight, and carry these words in our hearts: \u2018\u2013 Whom do you love? \u2013 I love Belarus. \u2013 Then it is mutual,\u2019\u201d<\/i> the head of the National Anti-Crisis Management said.<\/p>\n

Kastu\u015b Kalino\u016dski was born at the Mostowlany estate on 21 January (2 February) 1838. In 1863\u20131864, a national liberation uprising took place in the lands of Belarus, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine, which were then part of the Russian Empire. Kalino\u016dski led the uprising in the Belarusian territories. He was arrested in late January 1864 in Vilnius and sentenced to death, and ten days later he was hanged. The burial places of Kalino\u016dski and his executed comrades were unknown until recently, when their graves were discovered after a ground collapse on Gediminas’ Hill in Vilnius. A ceremonial reburial of the remains of Kalino\u016dski and other insurgents took place on 22 November 2019.<\/p>\n
