Belaya Rus Public Association
“Established by the popular initiative, Belaya Rus has become a truly mass movement, one of the pillars of the civil society, the core of the healthy and constructive forces of our country.”
At the initiative of the public, Belaya Rus organizations were founded in Grodno in 2004 and other regional centers of the country and Minsk in 2007. Preparations began to establish the nationwide public association Belarus Rus.
The founding congress of the public association was held on 17 November 2007. The Justice Ministry resisted the Belaya Rus public association on 11 December 2007. The official heraldic symbol of the association was introduced on 15 August 2008.
The highest award of the association, the Order of Honor, was instituted in 2018.
The main documents regulating the activity of the Belaya Rus public association are its charter and program. The congress is the supreme body of the association; the national council is the standing governing body.
The association has opened its divisions in all the administrative units of the country.
The main goal of the association is consolidation of the society and all groups that are ready to cooperate with and support the authorities at all levels to ensure high living standards through constructive labor. Being a public association, Belaya Rus does not seek power, which enables it to look at all processes from the perspective of an ordinary person and analyze them from the point of view of the authorities.
Since its founding, Belaya Rus has been involved in the political life of the country. The association took part in election campaigns during elections to the local Councils of Deputies and to the House of Representatives of the National Assembly, and presidential elections. During election campaigns, public reception offices of Belaya Rus turn into pre-election headquarters of the candidates supported by the association.
The national public association Belaya Rus enjoys support and has a lot of partners. Its members include prominent politicians, scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, and public figures.
