On December 21, 2011 the final third stage of the VI readings on local history "Legacy of Polotsk land" took place in Polotsk in the conference hall of Polotsk State University. 10 research studies were praised. Their authors were school children from Polotsk and Novopolotsk schools and gymnasiums. The best studies were chosen after a lengthy discussion. The young local historians took deserved rewards. The jury was attended by representatives of the National Polotsk Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve. They gave certificates and special prizes to the winners. As a gift from the Museum-Reserve all the participants were invited to visit the exhibition for the anniversary of the Museum of Local Lore "85 years on the pages of periodicals."
We wish all the participants success in further study of the national history, and all the beginners - to follow their example.
