Ministry of Culture approves pillow fight, Minsk City Executive Committee – doesn’t
Minsk City Executive Committee officials have refused to allow a pillow fight. An association “Historica” is the initiator of this fun action. The pillow fight was dated for the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald that will be marked on July 15 this year. According to Andrei Kim, officials have not given any reason for the refusal. Let us remind you that Kim organized two pillow fights last year:
Kim: "We did it twice last year – for the Battle of Grunwald and Battle of Orsha. Even the Battle of Orsha was allowed by the authorities. Now we had the support of the cultural department of Minsk City Executive Committee and the Ministry of Culture. However, Minsk City Executive Committee has not supported us regardless of the support of the Ministry of Culture”.
Nevertheless, Andrei Kim hopes that the authorities will not impede the peaceful action. He is going to come to the National Library on the evening of July 15 at 7 p.m. – the action was supposed to take place there.
