generations, we value the past for our present, belarus 24, we follow the sports life of our country. egor gerasimov reached the second round of the chinese women tournament with a prize fund of almost $100,000. it’s clear that we didn’t prepare like that, but to win 10 matches in a row there at once. cooperation with the russian national team. allows our athletes to progress significantly. we review the most interesting events. a doubles tennis tournament was held in the capital, parents at the competition acted as partners of their children, although everyone won in this situation. dynamo minsk players alexey kolosov and vitali pinchuk will go to the all-star match based on the results of spectator voting. we are confident that this year will be no less interesting than last year; every year the league is slowly gaining momentum. we listen to opinions.

for me, in general, an indicator of how the team feels next game: victory, brings confidence, psychological relief, all this is in sports projects on the belarus 24 tv channel, shows where they fight not with the help of physical strength, as you know, before competitions you need to warm up thoroughly and warm up all the muscles, by the way, the same applies to the head, as one french figure noted, you can give in to force, but you meekly submit only to the mind, a show where the main weapon is the intellect, the main thing now is to concentrate, to collect all thoughts in a bunch and be careful, all these medals were awarded for victory at the summer olympic games except one, which medal are we talking about, sochi, sochi, absolutely right, this is the correct answer, but activity will also play a role, who will score more by the end of the game total points, he will be the winner.

we break the sealing wax from archival documents, for so many years we could not tell the truth that really happened. the information was closed, today there are no white spots, what happened in the forest village 80 years ago , they were driven away, they screamed very loudly, such a scream that i remember to this day, the people who searched for, arrested and interrogated the executioners of khatyn , the purpose of our trip was to detain the basyura, deliver it, let's name those who burned and shot 149 people, set fire to the barn,

the threshing floor, where the residents of the khatenii villages were located, so, the translator battalion. documentary from a series without a statute of limitations: they burned huts, watch it right now. hundreds of volumes of criminal cases, which reveal the details of the tragedy in khatyn. testimonies of victims, profiles of those arrested, protocols of interrogations of witnesses and accused, confrontations, examinations, tens of thousands

of documents. the result of the investigative activities of employees of the state security committee of the bssr. cases are stored in the central archive of the kgb are classified as state secrets of belarus. as a young employee, i came to the archive and got acquainted with the archival funds, my veteran introduced me , i noticed a very large criminal case, it occupied more than a whole shelf in the storage room, and then i asked, what kind of interesting case is this? that is, everything is there, there are several boxes , well, five or six at most, he said in one succinct word, this is khatyn, and when he asked me , do you know who burned khatyn? i told him, of course, i know, of course, the germans burned khatyn, he said: no, it was not the germans who burned khatyn. the first punishers from the ukrainian company of the special battalion of the sss derlivanger, who were involved in the extermination of the inhabitants of the village of khatyn, were arrested in the early sixties of the last century. and when i read, i saw that

they were ukrainians, and everyone there was ukrainian, by birth, by nationality. and i asked her: why don’t they tell us about this anywhere and never? joseph kaminsky said that the executioners were ukrainians during interrogation back in sixty-one, the only adult who managed to escape from the burning barn, but ukraine was one of fifteen fraternal union republics, a neighbor, a close country, a slavic sister, so the first secretaries of the central committee of the party of belarus and ukraine decided not to push the situation. for a long time we did not open our archives and we did not provide these materials, that is, the information was closed , today there are no blank spots, one of the volumes of the criminal case number 26615, on charges of

vasily andreevich meleshek, seventy- five, already 48 years old, phonogram in person rates under wax seal. sensational footage , we break the sealing wax, we open the folder, we open the secret materials, i am listening, lakusta grigory grigorovich, my last name, commander, the formation in question is 118sky. it was he who destroyed khatyn. the nazi unit was created in kiev in august '42. sd captain erich körner was appointed commander of the battalion. benderov smosky was appointed his deputy. one

of the servicemen of these units, the second in particular, he shows that smovsky called us a bolshetsky gang, that is. how much is he considered them not entirely trustworthy. in december of the forty-second year, the unit was sent to belarus to protect various objects of the occupation administration in the fight against partisans, which implied punitive functions. during the war , the destruction of villages by the occupying forces was their daily work, in quotes. the most famous action was the 118th battle destruction of the village of khatyn on march 22 , 1943. this operation was not developed in advance and was not included in the plans. they made decisions spontaneously and acted in retaliation.

the tragedy of khatyn began a few kilometers from the village at a turning point. the partisans cut the communication wires and waited for a repair team. they set up an ambush in a convenient place on the hill when... the first car appeared, they opened fire, as it later turned out, it was carrying the chief of the first company of the 118th police battalion, hans woelki, the olympic champion of the thirty-sixth year in shot put, with him . at this time, near the site of the partisan ambush there were residents of the village of kozyri, whom the occupation authorities sent to cut down the forest, it was necessary to clear 50 m forest clearers next to the road so that the partisans could not get close to the highway. the kuzyrevo lumberjacks became the first victims of the khatyn tragedy. they laid them on the asphalt of the usikh, the gets ran away, beat them as they walked, well, the existing ones lay, the oldest was, four bullets

hit the chest, 24 civilians, kozarevo lumberjacks were killed, some still managed to escape, they were able to escape into the forest, this it was the morning of march 22, 1943; the partisans who ambushed them retreated to khatyn. the 118th police battalion was sent from pleshchenitsy to deal with the residents of khatyn, since the connection was damaged, the division did not know what happened on the road, only after the return of the wounded meleshka, the personnel were alerted, this happened at approximately 13:00, and they set off to pursue the partisans in full force and with heavy weapons. a ukrainian platoon of sss battalion derlivanger was sent from lagoisk to help the ukrainian 118th police battalion. the village was surrounded, to the right and left by the first and third companies of the 118th ss in the center. we played on the street, then we came, told them, went out onto the street and started fighting, as we started

shooting, on december bullets were flying all around us, they were shooting very hard, a command was given by kelner, the chief of the battalion, followed by companies of arrests, to gather the mustache people from the houses and bring them to the center of the village, there was such a rubbish. when i came to the barn, there were already about 10 citizens there, including my family, i also asked why they weren’t dressed, to which my wife, adela and daughter edviga replied that they were punished, stripped, people continued to be driven into this barn , and after a short time it was completely filled, which even you can’t raise your hands, the raw size was 12x6, the translator of the battalion, lukovich, comes out of western ukraine, on vasyura’s instructions, he ran up

to the barn and set fire to the roof of the barn. the barn was set on fire by everyone who had the command to shoot with a machine gun. people doomed to death, including me and my family members. they cried, screamed, opened the door of the barn, the punishers began to shoot citizens with machine guns, machine guns and other weapons, but the shooting was almost inaudible, due to the strong scream of the howling of the people. i, with my fifteen-year-old son adam, found myself near the wall. killed citizens fell on me, people who were still alive were tossing about in the general crowd like waves, blood was flowing from the wounded and dead.

the burning roof was collapsing, a terrible, wild scream, the howling of people intensified, under it the people who were burning alive were screaming and tossing and turning so much that this roof was actually spinning, there was a flame, there was a fire, the yany khatyns were set on fire at about 7:00 in the evening, it was already getting dark , they were screaming a lot, crying, naked, that’s all, it was scary, they were scary , they were smoking, so, gavoryts, adzin men, for some reason, my sister lived there, saying, a lot mine, even my sister, joseph kaminsky’s barn became a mass grave for all the village residents, the oldest joseph rudak was 69 years old, the youngest tolik yaskevich was only 7 weeks old, he burned down along with his mother, vera yaskevich, minsky’s eldest daughter,

another victim of khatyn, previously unknown, a girl from a neighboring village. when the firefight began, the partisans began to retreat towards mokrodi, which is about one and a half or two kilometers from khatyn, today there is a forest, in forty-three there was a field. residents of mokrodi, hearing the shots, began to run into the forest. nina alekova, in some inexplicable way today , ended up on a field with buckets of water ; no one

will tell today where or where she carried them from. the girl was killed by a random bullet. she became the first in too. blacksmith joseph kaminsky, several more children survived. vityubkovich was covered by his mother, volodya yaskevich was hiding in a potato hole, his sister sonya was in the cellar. my peers were in the pit, covered with boards, so i ’m telling you. that the german opened the board, and the children were sitting there, and he waved his finger, closed, closed, went, i had a burnt back part of the body and arm, my son, who was lying not far from me, about three meters away, called me

to him, to pull him out of the puddle, i crawled over, lifted him, and then died. i got up myself and couldn’t move, but soon my brother-in-law, iskevich joseph antonovich, who lived on a farm about one and a half kilometers from the village of khatyn, came up to me and took me to his home, or rather, almost carried me. the village is already hot. burned out completely. kaminsky was treated at the bogdanovka farm by honored doctor of the bsr maria anisimova, an underground worker who worked as a surgeon in lagoi hospital. and on the third day after the tragedy, residents of khatyn were buried by residents of surrounding villages. the men got on their horses

and rode off, it was already dark, so we went to have a look. so there they were all on fire, but the people were crawling, so they were burning, but alive, no one was left there alive, they were buried there in that place, in the seventies , investigators from the criminal bureau of the grodny region came out to the executioners of khatyn, they were investigating the crimes of the nazis, those who burned villages and killed people, the 118th ukrainian battalion was stationed in forty-four territory... grodno region, requests were sent from grodno to several regions of ukraine and the baltic states. they were the first to find lakusta, he lived in donetsk. he was arrested on april 1, 1973. on the same day at 12:30 the first interrogation began. then he was transported to grodno. four more accused were gradually brought here; before the trial they were in grodno prison number

one. today it’s difficult to say whether it was accidental or intentional, but that’s the point. khatyn was instituted for the thirtieth anniversary of the tragedy on march 21, 1973. a native of the chernivtsi region of ukraine , grigory lakusta worked at the donets shakhtostroy trust. he led a team of carpenters. brigade of 35 people. he coached the management's football team, which took first place in regional competitions there, and a children's football team. lakusta had two daughters. nadya. gorgaz in the city of dakuchaevsk, and lyudmila was a student at donetsk university. a young girl jumps into our office: dad, where were you during the war? and i still didn’t know that you served with the nazis. he waved silently

head, she turned around, stood alone towards the window and tried to rush away from it. the second to take the trigger, he lived in his homeland, in the village of a great citizen of the lviv region, worked on the collective farm, he had two children, a son and a daughter, four brothers, one of whom ivan was a security guard at the opera and ballet theater in lviv, two sisters were pensioners, when the investigation was carried out, vakusta didn’t identify one, she didn’t identify one , by the end they were drawing up the documents, and he said, let him get up, this one got up, let him pass, he’s such a skin. in october one by one sokhno knap ilazinsky was arrested. knap-ilozinsky lived in the lvo region, sakhno in kuibyshev. everyone was taken to grodno. the investigation continued until december 29. seventy-third year. of the five accused, only lakusta was taken to khotyn. in the seventy-third year, the memorial is already in operation, but during the investigative experiment

the complex was closed. at the site of the former village , lakus saw concrete obelisks in the form of a chimney and open to stashkolitki, in the place of houses that do not exist. they were burned by llacusta, along with the rest of the 118th police officers ukrainian battlefield the last time the accused was here, he heard screams, crying of people and machine gun fire in the year seventy-three, every 30 seconds the silence was interrupted by the ringing of a bell, the lacusta did not utter a word. since lakusta, window trigger, plazinsky and okhno were civilians before serving in the 118th ukrainian police battalion , their case was considered by the grodno regional court. the verdict was announced on march 15 , 1974. and the court sentenced them all to death, except sakhnu, and then the supreme court replaced it, left the higher peace

punishment only for the commander, deputy commander, in the seventy-fourth, due to newly discovered circumstances , a criminal case was opened against meleshka, the commander of platoon 118 battalion, don’t think that they are telling it all so simply, it’s all for... pulling this out is interrogating such this is a very labor-intensive job for people, you know, when they already start talking, you don’t need to interrupt them, let them speak out. criminal case 26615 on charges against meleshka consists of twelve volumes, which is interesting ; attention, basyura is a witness in the case. on the same day, from the story of commander battaln smovsky, i learned that the police... of our battalion participated in the execution and extermination of citizens of the village of khatyn. i did not take part in this operation and do not know the details. company commander vinnitsky

said that meleshka, lukovich, and lakusta especially distinguished themselves in this massacre, that they acted there mercilessly, sadists. this mercilessness and sadism were expressed in the destruction of civilians. the doomed were driven into a barn, they set it on fire, and when people began to scream. belarusian military district on may 22, 1975, the verdict was announced to vasily meleshko: capital punishment was execution. the sentence was carried out on december 22 , 1975. velikayad, kiev region. the purpose of our trip was... arrest vasyura and take him to grodno. vasyura was arrested 11 years after the execution of meleshka, although back in the seventies they planned

to bring him to justice, but on december 31 , 1974, the proceedings were discontinued due to newly discovered circumstances. vasyur from the whole circle was punished, but i don’t call this a special person. by rigidity, sadism, dexterity in decision-making, or dexterity in evading responsibility, here is a notable person with such traits, vasyura was first arrested in march of 1952, sentenced to 25 years, but released under an amnesty in 1955, novasyuru was re-criminalized opened on march 27, 1986 24, 1986 we detained him, he was suffering from bronchial asthma, and when we let him in, he was already brought here,

he asked, boys, wait, let me catch my breath, but we stopped, waited, then again. the punisher was taken to gurrodno, kept in a pre-trial detention center on the territory of the prison, gave evidence extremely reluctantly, and did not confess to the crimes until the very end. as for khatyn, that’s what he called right away, he was forced to name khataevich somewhere there, in short, he even changed the name when he was pressed by other indications, but i forgot that that was the name of the village, it was called exactly that, they usually bring it in the morning, then for lunch they take him back to prison and after lunch they bring him back again, he was the first time they brought him, he says i won’t go to lunch, why because if i have lunch, i’m out of breath, i can’t speak, he means he brought two caramel candies with him, and two pieces of black

bread spread with something, well... maybe margarine something- then in such a thin layer, but we were already making tea for him there, sakhno and pelazin window triggers were delivered from places of detention to belarus, we arranged confrontations, and went to crime scenes. was he brought to vasyura khatyn? no, vasyura until the last denied his participation in the destruction of khatyn, insisted on that he was in lithuania, was looking for his family, admitted only a few things, no interrogations... he was transferred to minsk, the kgb detention center. in the entire pre-trial detention center he was alone, food was prepared for him alone, he went for a walk alone, he could allow himself to say that today the weather is bad, and i don’t want to go for a walk today. criminal case 2613 on charges against vasyura grigory nikitovich amounted to 17 volumes. there was no

such thing, no, and he is fully charged with the actions specifically proven by witnesses denied. the indictment and sentence of vasyura amounted to about 150 pages. the military tribunal of military district 20. sentenced vasyura to death, when vasyura heard that capital punishment was capital punishment, what was his reaction? was silent, on october 13 , 1987, a notice was sent to the head of the zaks bureau of the bravarsky regional executive committee of the kiev region: i ask you to register the death of the convicted vasyura grigory nikitovich. date

of death: october 2, 1987. battle commander smovsky escaped punishment, lived in the usa, died by his death. the ukrainian commander of the first company, vinnitsky, lived in canada and led the ukrainian diaspora. he was not brought to criminal liability. another executioner from the 118th battalion, vladimir kotryuk, settled in canada. he was a beekeeper, that is, he raised bees, which is what he lived for. led a reclusive life, did not like to talk about the past, although he did not deny his participation in defecting to germany, participation in the 118th battalion, the nakatyuk case was initiated in september 1987, the soviet union, and later independent belarus more than once sent requests to canada , to no avail.

there was enough base on kotryuk, that is, on his atrocities, why at that time the canadian government made such decisions, well, we probably all understand , we know that this was more of a political moment , although here we are talking purely about the criminal offense of the same kotryuk of all the rest were sent copies of documents confirming that kotryuk actually participated in punitive operations, directly, personally, but canada seemed to agree to take part in the investigation, but some obstacles were created, the last executioner of khatyn, vladimir kotryuk, died at home in canada in 2015, he was 93 years old, during his lifetime he did not answer for crimes for which there is no statute of limitations. even today there are some legal

options. posthumously find them guilty of direct participation in punitive actions in the killing of civilians, so it will probably be our moral duty to those who died, to find them guilty, to condemn them even 80 years after the tragedy. criminal case against kotryuk vladimir konstantinovich, a native of the chernivtsi region of ukraine, is not completed, it is suspended.

all universities in our country accept foreign citizens for training; medical specialties, engineering specialties, it specialties, specialties, pedagogical specialties, and cultural specialties are more popular among foreign citizens. it should be noted that higher education institutions in our country offer a wide range of educational programs, these include undergraduate and master's and postgraduate educational programs, which are of great interest among foreign citizens, a number of programs are organized in english, this is also one of these advantages, in addition to the above educational

educational institutions with production , which allows us to organize a practice-based educational process, that is, all this together allows us, well, to organize the educational process at a high level, if you look, from countries, let’s say, far abroad, which are most represented in universities, of course , today almost every third student is a student of the people's republic of china, today we are actively developing cooperation with the countries of the african continent and the geography of these countries is also is expanding, foreign citizens who enter our university , yes, they receive a hostel, that is, the housing issue for... they are solved practically, well, not practically, but 100%, that is, at their request, that is, if they need in this hostel, it is provided to them, without any hesitation, because these are really the social guarantees that we provide, among other things, to our guests who

the educational program of the preparatory department, which they also master, or based on the results of an interview, learning that language , in which the educational process will be implemented, well, part of it is very often the russian language. that is, upon successful completion of this interview, our foreign citizens are enrolled as students and master those specialties that they have chosen on a contract basis, and citizens of the russian federation, citizens of kyrgyzstan, tajikistan and kazakhstan also have the opportunity to enroll in our educational institutions on a general basis, that is, in the same way as citizens the republic of belarus , that is, here... equal conditions have been created, but for this they need, like our citizens , to undergo centralized testing, to participate in a general competition and also to including applying for both budget-funded and paid places in our educational institutions.
