A woman marched past Lukashenka’s tribune barefooted at the military parade in Minsk on July 3. The photo was distributed by the information agency Reuters. It is difficult to say what happened: the woman could either lose her shoe during the parade or she could simply take it off (her foot was probably chafed since she had put a plaster on the heel).
Belarusian female soldiers have taken part in the July 3 Independence Day parade for the first time ever.
