- Many Kazakhstanis participated in all the battles, in the liberation of all our republics, beginning from the White and Black Seas, including Belarus. The difficulty was in swamps, marshes, impassable places in Belarus that could not always be easy to pass in order to face in battle and push the Nazis. But our soldiers do everything and Belarus was liberated.

Lyubov Shashkova, author of book “Liberators”:
- Certainly, the Brest page is a unique page, which can decorate any story, if it can be said “decorate” when talking about war, if war could be decorated with something. But the deeds and greatness of the human spirit displayed by the defenders of Brest Fortress are simply unique. This book includes pages of simple human memories, how people survived, but at the same time the strength of human spirit.
