Residents of the Dubrovno region, Vitebsk oblast, are choosing Seven Wonders of the Dubrovno Region. Phone polling is in full swing to nominate the land’s most outstanding landmarks, BelTA learnt from Svetlana Ryzhanskaya, head of the ideology department of the Dubrovno region executive committee. Launched in February, the action was supposed to nominate most fascinating natural, architectural and historical phenomena of the region. After that the organisation committee had to choose nine entrants out of 35 and promote them to the semifinals. The best of the best were architectural monuments dated by XVII and XVIII centuries, the site of an ancient settlement dated by 1,000 BC, Holy Borodintsevsky spring, legendary lakes Zelenoye and Mertvoye, a 400-year-old oak tree, the River Dnepr, the festival “Dnepr voices in Dubrovno”, and the book Memory, which lists names of 35,000 soldiers, who died defending the Dubrovno region. These landmarks have been subjected to phone polling. The results will be announced by mid-May. The Seven Wonders of the Dubrovno Region will be entered into the Map of Wonders to be the basis for a tourist routes in the region. The presentation of the travel guide and the first round are supposed to take place in June when the festival “Dnepr voices in Dubrovno”, which traditionally gathers a lot of people from Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine, takes place. The project is organised by local authorities, local lore experts, the regional museum and newspaper. Novopolotsk started looking for Seven Wonders after Dubrovno’s example. Although the town is incredibly young (the town of oil chemistry workers turns 50 this year), organisers hope to find peculiarities of their own there.
