Three dancing fountains and LED screens: how Victory Square in Vitebsk will change
The Victory Square will be transformed after reconstruction for the upcoming Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia and the 1050th anniversary of Vitebsk. The main renovation, which Vitebsk residents are eagerly awaiting, will be three fountains. "These are conceptually new objects, with no analogues in Belarus. The three fountain basins will feature built-in backlighting and musical accompaniment. During holidays, water jets, which can rise up to 5 meters high, will "dance" to thematic songs and a light show. We have now completed the installation and waterproofing of the first basin and laid paving stones around it. In early June, we will test the fountains in launch and adjustment mode. In the near future, after a technological break, we will carry out the same work with the other basins. All fountains will be operational by the Forum of Regions," emphasized Artur Strod.
Two stationary LED screens, which the residents of the regional center have already gotten used to, will be replaced with new ones. They are almost twice as light as their predecessors and feature better resolution, projection, and performance. "For the Forum of Regions, we plan to install two LED information boards. These will be touch screens, like on smartphones. They will display information about Victory Square – its history, the changes it has undergone, and the progress of the reconstruction," explained the Director of the Vitebsk Construction Department.
Builders have also taken care of the region's main New Year's decoration in advance – new wiring has been installed for the future Christmas tree, which gathers everyone from young to old on Victory Square, so the forest guest's location will remain the same.
As for the completed work, builders have already replaced the inscription on the residential building facing Victory Square – "The feat of the Soviet people is immortal," and an analogue of the Victory Banner has been erected here. Backlighting has been installed on the memorial complex in honor of the Soviet soldiers-liberators, partisans, and underground fighters of the Vitebsk region, which projects the colors of the national flag onto three obelisks. The high-rise building at 5 Belorobadov Street, located at the intersection adjacent to Victory Square, features a light-dynamic illumination. For the convenience of visitors, new benches will also be installed on the square near the fountains.
By the time of the Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia, which will be held on June 27-28 in Vitebsk, Polotsk, and Novopolotsk, the main part of the reconstruction work on the square in the regional center will be completed, and afterwards, with sufficient funding, several green islands will be arranged here. Trees will be planted in four granite flowerbeds, and such green zones will border the square, creating additional comfort.
