a special decision of the presidium the supreme soviet of the ussr which, as an exception, was granted the right not to apply articles six and forty-one of the fundamentals of the criminal legislation of the ussr and the union republics. e, in the sense not to apply that 139 people brought witnesses from all regions of belarus to the court session to replace the death penalty with imprisonment. everyone testified. they survived during the inhumane actions of the half-death of the civilian population, which was carried out by the soldiers of the vanger command miraculously did not burn out in the burning villages when i was a child. i always drew attention to the city bus driver, whose face was as if concave inward, when she was 6 years old and the nazis broke into the neighboring village of buddha and killed 52 people there, as he

recalls, they went home and shot at everyone they saw, and in him in istra and hit him in the face. he fell and lay unconscious. then they started throwing lit torches at the houses. he heard crackling. he heard that everything around him was on fire. apparently he came to his senses and managed to crawl out. all 13 defendants served as uderliwanger forty-two voluntarily took an oath of allegiance to the third reich, and hearings were punishable by death , they were given uniforms of the ussr troops and weapons. every month. they received wages according to some documents passes that to persons who were not married. so they wrote, uh 300 morocco was paid to those who were married 600 marks uh per month plus food rations, but, all the more so , the promise of looting all

the settlements that they would be, uh, destroyed in terms of work was shortened and became 43 years old already the sixth of january. operation france begins which took place on the territory of the chervensky bereznensky downy and osipovichsky district were supposed to liquidate the partisan formations that could not be destroyed during the frida action this time. the nazis even used aviation aviation flew, they hid in the forest, and he says, uh, i stopped feeling not only my legs, but my body, because we were standing in a swamp. we were told not to move at all because, well, the branches were covering something, but no movement was to be said, not even don’t move your foot or hand, he says, i stood and i felt how, starting from my legs , this wild cold was already going on in my head. i thought i would never be able

to walk again. only in the chervensky district in two villages a red flag hung over the village council. it was the partisan zone, the territory of the brigade , the defeat. the soviet power operated here. the partisans attacked the german garrisons , fought off people from thefts of germany and returned the stolen property and food to the population. unarmed partisan formation, and to the civilian population a few gordons returned everyone who had strayed somewhere and descended into the forest. everything always. so, they returned to the forest and collected for some alleged announcement on some square, and then some kind of room, yes. fire ashes death blood, in addition , the so-called raids on the village were practiced. that is, for example, some german patrol was fired at the nearest village, immediately, automatically

, in fact, a raid was carried out in order to carry out this action, retaliation and automatically. the village fell into the category of partisan sympathizers and, naturally, the civilian population, as a rule, was destroyed. topchenko told how people were destroyed in the village of makovo, chervensky district. there was one unfinished house in the village of makove. more than 10 people were driven into this house, people were rounded up and other houses and sheds where they were shot. in this village, a large number of people were shot and people were shot , and the rest of the defendants in the village of tatulichie, chervensky district , shot people at home, burned their property, and the other defendants did the same. plundered. punishers passing through the case during the investigation admit their atrocities and say, i personally killed a woman and three children.

he says that even it was hard for some women to carry out their collective group there and executed, and even separate such fast two in front of a friend, these punishers, the woodworker had such a manner. you understand, they shot people in the houses, and then they burned the same corpses in the houses so that no traces would be left. it was. here is a characteristic feature of the dirlewanger and in many regions it was so. punisher alexei stopchenko after the war worked as a primary school teacher in the rostov region today said with each trip to the operation. we got bolder and robbed more and drank more. i don't know how many people i've killed so far, i haven't counted. we were with the germans and carried out their orders. i participated in the battles with the partisans, but mostly i destroyed women and children. and starikov this unit used

civilians in clearing a certain area, when they carried out a punitive operation, the area harnessed their beards and went peasants and residents of this village. terrible scenes ahead. here, too, there are many such facts. well, not just one, but several. i personally testify from the documents that are in the files. here is the testimony of one of the testifying punishers out of 14 people, who was in the chain, only the chervinsky battalion remained, it was relocated to the starobinsky district. today, this is the territory of the soligorsk region, a punitive operation began hornk goal liquidation of the partisan formation of korzh to the homeland of korzh in the village of khorastovo, the punishers came to the religious

from 6:00 in the morning about 300 people, local residents and residents of nearby villages, gathered for the service, and the rector of the ianloika temple was also nearby. his wife. the daughters-in-law and grandchildren of the nazis brought out several people, as it turned out later, in order to drive the stolen cattle to the station, the church was overlaid with straw and even a pancake. for a long time, chants were heard from the burning temple. he often arranged executions on religious holidays christmas meeting easter in his profile it was indicated that he was a believer in such a in this way, apparently, his vera of the choir was manifested, only a few houses were destroyed, the surviving people recognized their relatives by fragments of clothing she told me that her father recognized his father by the burnt

sleeve from the embroidered shirt there was such an embroidered shirt and a metal button and so he recognized on this shirt. the order to start a punitive operation was received by a team of poachers on february 7, and from that day on they organized fire marches every day. villages were burned, thousands of civilians were shot a man without weapons, children, old men and women , if there were no men, then the village was a bandit. the woman was lying on the bed sick, she didn’t go fascist to her means , get up she says, i can’t, but most likely it was latvian e, and behold, he killed her somewhere six bullets in the head. wherever it got to. they were all practically sadistic criminals and practiced, for example, gang rape of girls in the villages. but there are documents where they say that more than 30 girls go from such punitive actions or actions. retribution was

raped. many then went crazy, unable to stand it. but this one in the belly came on the same day as in the hostel on the fifteenth of february 43. two huge villages were destroyed in a few hours, more than 1,000 people died to me. some went into the forest, but they walked in large groups, some carried children with them and cow pigs, some carried who walked and walked, almost barefoot and walked, almost naked undressed agatha, we drove to the geta. i am a partisan of kazan , probably, such people people are born there , they will drive your man like a lie. and so the germans caught them and said, come back home. nobody will do anything to you. just check the documents, people believed and, uh, they came

to the village. and then, of course, 783 people burned them all. it didn’t finish this from there , it was that, damn it, when the heat was at all during the hornet operation, only in one starobinsky or modern soligorsk region were destroyed dozens of settlements, villages, farms, old and new velichkovichi. more than 350 people burned down, more than two wandered. sotokvichi is almost 430 citizens of this village teenager there 12-13 years old eyes of this punisher the collapse of you anyway the nazis will come

the soviet government was and will be it should be easier showed, the participant himself, the punitive operation. karas in german documents traces such femisms. that is, let's say so many bandits and so many sympathizers were destroyed. but no one will ever see any kind of trial in any german document. what showed up? that is, it was just the civilian population that automatically belonged to the category of sympathizers and was destroyed. after almost 20 years after the tragedy, the same punisher stopchenko at the trial, she calmly said that she remembers people well in the kopatsevichi operation, they herded people into houses , they shot houses, they set fire to them, and the village for clay spent the night in the morning they shot people, the village of yamnoye never recovered there was no one to revive today on in this place, a snow-covered field after being burned, the punishers were on duty at

the facility for several days, in order to destroy those who would come to bury their loved ones in the ashes of their home. they saw a fabian, a wolf, a man tied to boards from a board nailed to a tree shot in turn. so the last resident died in the clear on march 2, 1943, an order was issued signed by the commander of the security police and riding eduard strauch, and the transfer of the derevanger team to laguna to fight the partisans. this is the official wording. to our misfortune, he appeared here. this particular battalion is especially a devanger battalion in logoysk , because immediately upon arrival, after a week or two, the villages were on fire. pass the family. we have fucking hospitals. here, too, people live hamsters, remember the last name there were two of them, now there are three and a brother, they came to hell and shot them, they shot the contrary

, they shot with what they really did the activity of a special unit from the ezer-livandyr. it did not consist in the fight against partisan formations, it was reduced to intimidation and practically to the mass destruction of the civilian population. one of der levander's punishers, yakshevich, lived in august before the war, but after he voluntarily joined the police. the family moved to lagoisk, the parents could not look the neighbors in the eye. yes, and together the partisans were salted, but the house and mother of the punisher remained here, periodically came in august. suspecting nothing, she came and on the day of the tragedy she became one of the twenty-two victims, at the same time her son would form another clan and the derrier livanger unit participated in another punitive operation against the partizans in belovezhskaya pushcha. there was a security service, the gendarmerie commandant's office, but all of them, one way or another, subordinated the costly workers

to his influence and patronage of the head of the main directorate berger. the ss did their job, besides, the lagoi policemen the belarusian sama khova, which was formed from local collaborators, became part of the team. in the city park of logoysk in the forties the administrative center was first soviet former less than tyshkevich and housed the district committee of the rayhon komsomol party militia and other institutions. and after the occupation, in a two-story building, the nazis placed a police garrison and prisons. werlivanger also arrived here in march 43. the rank and file of the battalion was placed opposite in the building of the former count's stables, the structure has been preserved and today at that time in formation. ss the second battalion of the unit appeared officially called the sonder regiment of the ussr livanger numbered about 2,000 people 400, of which the germans at the inhabitants

of logoisk told about the time when the battalion was based there, a tall, thin man with a cap with a skull and, which is characteristic, and she said that he he walked forward and the people who were walking towards the sky saw that he was coming, they tried to either the alley or, uh, to the other side of the street, so as not to meet with them, because, according to her, he could, uh, beat him with this cage counter. the unit often went out on the so-called fine patrol or patrol along the roads looking for partizans. but if something suspicious happened in their opinion or a person was met who seemed dangerous , they immediately left, the massacre near the village was august. it is just a few kilometers from lagoisk. the partisans fired on the car in which they drove in the face and the germans took revenge. a special unit of the ussr arrived for the murder of the invaders.

peaceful people should have answered. the family of babitsky husband and wife came out, who had a little granddaughter in her arms, the head of the family carried the icon. he thought in this way to stop the nazis did not come out bombing and became the first victims in the august village, and decades later, the surviving residents. at the trial , they said that after the tragedy, babitsk lay in a pool of blood next to the icon. at the end of august 43, a ukrainian platoon. to me , the nechemchenko detachment of the levanger went over to the partisans and fought. yes, the liberation of belarus then many liberated europe had awards for the liberation. warsaw for the capture of berlin for two years thought that they atoned for their guilt with blood people who shot old people and children after the war became teachers to answer for a crime for which there is no statute of limitations had to be 20 years later. the pardon was not written all the pardon was rejected,

but the presidium of the supreme soviet of the bssr pardoned three people. for what reason, nu is studying the crimes that they have committed , it is difficult for me to say, but nevertheless, three people, out of these 13, were in addition. despite the fact that the presidium of the supreme soviet of the ussr granted the right not to replace the death penalty by the punisher with long terms of imprisonment, three remained to live, including aleksey stopchenko. nazi actions

in the other direction . maybe i'll throw some wood on this fire first. and then you will kindle it when you communicate with people, you have to catch who you are talking to. and to speak with them in a language that is understandable and accessible to them, these movements are similar to the work of a jeweler, but jewelers make beauty. and we save lives all in the interests of their state patients. why do patients travel? well, this is the brand of the brand of belarus, this is the quality of knowledge, understanding and arguments, and also questions that lie on the surface in
