The flower of Venus's shoes and the rarest bird in Europe, the flying squirrel, depicted on a guillotine coin of the National Bank of Belarus, are peculiar symbols of this picturesque place. The history of Drahičyn region is the ancient town of Zditau-na-Yaseldze, the village of Tarakan - once the residence of the ruler of the Basilian order, the fortress of Jaber, in front of which was the powerless army of Charles XII, the only stronghold of the Struve Geodetic Arc and the Polesie life of Eliza Orzeszko. Today's Drahičyn region is the only apron museum in the world, the uniqueness of local dialects, rich material and spiritual culture. The winner of the State Prize of the Republic of Belarus and the National Literary Prize in the category "Prose", Honored Cultural Worker of the Republic of Belarus Ales Martinovich tells about all this.
