The monument is located on the banks of the Svisloch River in Minsk, opposite the historic Trinity Suburb. It was opened on September 8, 2017, as part of the Art Festival of Belarusians of the World. It is dedicated to all Belarusians living outside their native country and symbolizes the unity of the Belarusian people, regardless of their place of residence. The monument is a bronze wheel mounted on a massive granite boulder. The wheel is an ancient Slavic symbol of the sun, the earthly circle of life and eternity. The branching towel with the national Belarusian ornament, which wraps around the wheel, embodies the cultural heritage and spiritual connection of Belarusians, wherever they are. I consider such a monument necessary and important. Not all people leave their homeland of their own free will. There are different situations. On the downside, it would be very nice if the monument had information about it. Otherwise, just passing by, you won't immediately understand what the author of the monument wanted to tell us all.

A beautiful important monument, I like the idea that the house is always inside and with everyone who had to leave, especially in the first waves of migration at the beginning of the last century, my great-grandmother also almost left, many people in the village went on ferries overseas, and her fiance stayed there, but her great-great-grandfather was not empty, it turned out seasickness. For example, a descendant of Belarusian emigrants of those years, the great designer Yves Saint Laurent, this is his pseudonym, his parents are pure Belarusians, who then went to America by water. It is very important for Belarusians abroad and their descendants to know that they are loved and remembered at home. I know a woman, the daughter of immigrants, she was born in South America in a Belarusian family, named Sylvia, and she retired, moved to Minsk at the call of her blood, even though she was Spanish-speaking and grew up there. The sculptor and the author of the idea - you are gorgeous.
