veterans, i drew attention to a very large criminal case, it occupied more than a whole shelf in the storage room. and then i asked, what how interesting is this? business, that is, all business, there are several boxes, there are, well, a maximum of five or six, 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 down the khatyn, he said: no, it wasn’t the germans who burned down the khatyn. the first punishers from the ukrainian company of the special battalion sss derlivanger, involved in the extermination of the inhabitants of the village of khatyn, were arrested back in the early sixties, and when i read i saw that they were ukrainians, and everyone there was ukrainian by birth by nationality, i asked her why they don’t tell us about this anywhere and never.

joseph kaminsky, the only adult who managed to escape from the burning barn, said that the executioners of khatyn were ukrainians during interrogation back in sixty-one. but ukraine was one of the 15 fraternal union republics, a neighbor, a close country, a slavic sister, so the first secretary of the party of belarus and ukraine decided not to pedal 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 white spots. number 26615 on the charge of meleshka vasily andreevich, fifth year old, already 48 years old, phonogram of the confrontation under a wax seal. sensational footage, breaking the sealing wax, opening the folder, revealing classified

materials. i served in a small factory, lakusta grigory grigorovich. my name, the commander of the departments, yes, the formation in question is the 118th ukrainian security police battalion, it was he who destroyed khatyn. nazi the unit was created in kiev in august '42. sd captain erich körner was appointed commander of the battalion and his deputy. benderov smovsky was appointed, one of the servicemen of these units of the second company, in particular, he shows that smovsky called us the bolshetsky gang, that is, well, 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 of the fight against partisans, which implied punitive functions, during the war, destruction... this was on the part of the occupying forces, this 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; decisions were made spontaneously and acted in retaliation. the tragedy of khatyn began a few kilometers from the village at a turn; the partisans cut the communication wires and waited for a repair team. they set up an ambush in a convenient place - on a hill, when the first car appeared, opened fire, as it later turned out, the chief of the first company of the 118th police

battalion, hans woelki, the olympic champion of the thirty-sixth year in shot put, was riding in it, and vasily meleshko was also with him. at this time, near the partisan site. the residents of the village of kozyri, who were sent by the occupation authorities to cut down the forest, were under siege. it was necessary to clear 50 m of forest belt next to the road so that the partisans could not get close to the road. kuzyrevsky... kozyredsky lumberjack, some still managed to escape, they were able to escape into the forest, it was on the morning of march 22, 1943. the partisans who set up the ambush retreated to khatyn.

the 118th police battalion was sent from pleshchenitsy to deal with the residents of khatyn. since the connection was damaged , the unit 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. they set out to pursue the partisans in full force and with heavy weapons. in help. the ss men were playing in the street, then they came, won, went out into the street and started shooting as soon as they started shoot, so here we just had bullets flying all around, they shot very hard, the command was given.

the chief of the battalion, followed by companies of executions, gather all the people from their houses and bring them to the center of the village, there was such a barn, when i came to the barn, there were already about 10 citizens there, including my family, i also asked why they were not dressed , to which my wife adele and daughter edviga replied that they were punished by stripping and people continued to be rounded up. this barn, and after a short time it was completely filled, which even you can’t raise your hands, the size of the barn was 12 by 6, the translator of the battalion lukovich, coming out from western ukraine, at the direction of vasyura, ran up to the barn and set fire to the roof of the barn when the command was given.

they set fire to the barn and the barn was screaming there, which means that everyone, yes, the command was to shoot with machine guns, people doomed to death, including me and my family members, cried a lot, screamed, opening the door of the barn , the punitive forces began to shoot with machine guns, machine guns and other things weapons of citizens, but almost no shooting was heard, due to the strong scream of people's howls, i and my fifteen-year-old with his son adam found himself near the wall. killed citizens fell on me, people who were still alive were rushing about in the general crowd like waves, blood was flowing from the wounded dead , the burning roof was collapsing, a terrible, wild scream, the howling of people intensified, under it the people burning alive were screaming and tossing so much that this roof i was literally spinning,

the village, the eldest joseph rudak was 69 years old, the youngest tolik yaskevich was only 7 weeks old. he burned down together with his mother, vera yaskevich. minsky's eldest daughter, yadviga , was in her last month of pregnancy. barn, on one side, a couple of men rushed in, and that was it. the command was given for everyone to shoot. they were still shooting.

and machine gunners with screws, that’s where it ended, instead of the killings, the people left ashes; in a few evening hours of a terrible monday in march, the punitive forces burned alive 149 people, 75 of whom were children under 16 years old, there was another victim of the killings, previously unknown, a girl from a neighboring village wet ninava, when the firefight began, the partisans began to retreat. mokrode, this is about one and a half or two kilometers from khatyn, today there is a forest in forty-thirds of the way there was a field. the residents of mokrodi heard the shots and began to run away into the forest. ninakov somehow. in an explicable way today , she ended up on a field with buckets of water, where or from where she was carrying them, no one will tell today, the girl was killed by a random bullet, she became the first victim at the same time . in addition to the fifty-six-year-old blacksmith joseph kaminsky, several more children remained alive, because zhabkovich

’s mother had already covered her body with her body, volodya yaskevich was hiding in a potato hole, his sister sonya was in the cellar. my peers there were boards covering the pit, so they told me that the german had covered the board, and there the children were sitting, and they waved their fingers, and closed it, i closed it, i had a burnt back. i do my hands, 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 up, lifted him, but saw that he was cut in half by bullets, my son still managed to ask if he was alive mom, he died immediately, i

got up and couldn’t move, but soon my brother-in-law iskevich, joseph, came up to me antonovich, who lived on a farm about one and a half kilometers from the village of khatyn, took them to his home, or rather, almost carried them on himself; the village of khatyn was already completely burning down. kaminsky was treated at the bogdanovka farm, honored doctor of the bssr, maria anisimova, an underground worker who worked as a surgeon in the lagoi hospital, and the residents of khatyn were buried on the third day after

the tragedy. in the seventies, investigators from the criminal bureau of the grodno region went to the seventies, they were investigating the crimes of the nazis, those who burned villages killed people. 118 in 1944, the ukrainian battalion was stationed in the 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, 73. on the same day at 12:30 the first interrogation began. then he was transported to gro. four more accused were gradually brought here; before the trial they were in grodno prison number one. today it is difficult to say whether it was accidental or intentional, but the case against the khatyn punitive forces was opened on the thirtieth anniversary of the tragedy of march 21 1973. a native of the chernivtsi region of ukraine, grigory lakusta worked at the

donetsk shakhtostroy trust. he led a team of carpenters, five people, he coached the management football team, which took first place in regional competitions there, a children's football team, lakusta had two daughters: nadezhda worked as a dispatcher for gorgaz in the city of dakuchaevsk, and lyudmila was a student at donetsk university, to a young girl jumps into our office. dad, where were you during the war? and i still didn’t know that you served. from the nazis, he silently waved his head, she turned away from us from the table to the window, tried to rush down, the second one took the trigger, he lived in his homeland, in the village of a great citizen of the lvo region, he worked on a 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 - pensioners, conducted inquiries, vakusta did not identify one, he did not identify, by the end they were drawing up documents, and he said, let him stand up, this one stood up, let him pass, yes this is a skin, in october, one by one, sakhno knap ilazinsky was arrested, knap ilazinsky lived in the lviv region , sokhno in kuibyshev, everyone was taken to grodno, the investigation continued until december 29 , seventy-three, of the five accused... only lakusta was taken to khatyn , seventy-third year, the memorial is already in operation, but during the investigative experiment, the complex was closed; on the site of the former village , lakus saw concrete obelisks in the form of a chimney. and open on steshkolitki in place of houses that do not exist, their zheglost, along with

the rest of the employees of the 18th policeman of the ukrainian battalion, the last time the accused was here, he heard screams, crying of people and machine gun fire, in the seventy- third year, every 30 seconds the silence was interrupted by the ringing of a bell, lakusta did not utter a word. since lakusta, the trigger kna plazinskie dry before the service. ukrainian police battalion were civilians, their case was considered by the grodno regional court. the verdict was announced on march 15 , 1974. the regional court sentenced them all to death, except sakhnu, and then the supreme court replaced and left the above punishment only to the commander, the deputy commander. due to newly discovered circumstances, a criminal case was opened against meleshka, the commander of the platoon of the 118th battalion, don’t think that they are just

telling it all, it all needs to be drawn out, this is the interrogation of such people, this is very, well, labor-intensive work, you understand when they they are already starting to talk, there is no need to interrupt them , but to speak out, criminal case 26615 on charges against meleshka consists of volumes, which, interestingly, is a witness in the case, attention, basyura. on the same day, from the story of the battalion commander smovsky, i learned that the police of our battalion participated in the execution of the 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 and lukovich lakusta especially distinguished themselves in this massacre, that they acted 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

they started screaming and tried to run out of the barn; they were shot with all types of weapons. on may 22 , 1975, the military tribunal of the belarusian military district announced the verdict against vasily meleshko. capital punishment, execution. carried out on december 22, 1975, in total, velikaya dymerka, kiev region, the purpose of our trip was to detain vasyura and deliver him to the city. vasyura was arrested 11 years after the execution of meleshek, although back in the seventies they planned to bring him to justice, but on december 31 74 the proceedings due to newly discovered circumstances... were terminated, vasyura from the entire circle of this punitive, well, this is a special person, i’m not called a special person

in terms of harshness, sadism, dexterity in decision-making, or dexterity in avoiding responsibility, here is a noticeable person with with these features, vasyura was first arrested in march '52, sentenced to 25 years, and released under an amnesty in '55. the criminal case against novasyuru was opened again on march 27, 1986. on april 24, 1986 , we detained him. he suffered from bronchial asthma. and when we let him be brought here, he asked: “guys, wait, let me catch my breath.” the punisher was taken to gorodno, kept in a pre-trial detention center on the territory of the prison, the last one was reluctant to testify, until the last, he did not confess to the crimes,

as for khatyn , that’s what he called right away, he was forced to name khataevich somewhere there, in short, he even changed the names when he was pressed by other indications, but i forgot that that was the name of the village, it... that’s exactly what it was called, they usually bring it in the morning, then to lunch is taken back to the prison and after lunch they bring it again, the first time they brought it, he says: i’m not going to lunch, why, because if i have lunch, i’m suffocating, i can’t speak, he means he brought two caramels with him and two pieces of black bread spread with something, maybe margarine, something like that, well, we already made him tea there. sokhno, kurkak na pilazinsky were brought from places of detention to belarus, they arranged confrontations, and went to crime scenes. he was brought to khatyn vasyura.

no. vasyura until the last denied his participation in the destruction of khateni. he insisted that he was in lithuania, looking for his family. he admitted only some episodes. the interrogations did not stop. he is transferred to minsk, to a kgb pre-trial detention center. throughout the pre-trial detention center he was alone, food was prepared for him alone, he went out for walks alone, he could afford it. criminal case 26613 on charges against vasyura grigory nikitovich amounted to 17 volumes. the investigation ended on september 3, 1986. the information that he basically said the words at the trial, yes, this is yag khatyn. there was no such thing, no. and he is completely sane to the end. vasyura's verdict

was about 150 pages. on december 26, 1986, the military tribunal of the belarusian military district sentenced vasyura to death. when vasura heard that there was capital punishment, what was his reaction? he was silent. october 13, 1987 . a notice was sent to the zaks 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. battalion commander asimsky escaped punishment, lived in the usa, died a natural death. the ukrainian commander of the first company, vinnitsky, lived in canada, led the ukrainian diaspora,

and 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, he led a reclusive life, did not like to talk about the past, although he did not admit his participation in defecting to germany, his participation in the 118th battalion. the nakonyuk case was initiated in september 1987, the soviet union, and later independent belarus more than once sent requests to canada, to no avail, the evidence base, according to kotryuk, that is, according to his actions, was enough, 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 this is a conversation

purely about a criminal offense, kotryuk and all the others 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 possibilities to posthumously find them guilty of direct participation in punitive actions, in the murders of peaceful civilians. therefore, this will probably be our moral

duty to those. who died, find them guilty and condemn them, even 80 years after the tragic events. criminal case in the relationship between kotryuk vladimir konstantinovich , a native of the chernivtsi region of ukraine, is not completed, it is suspended. a belarusian pensioner is a person, an active person, a person with an active civic position, a person with an active position in the family, today a person who has reached retirement age can freely

realize himself... in all sorts of directions, and as we see, this is where the greatest demand is this activity of our belarusian pensioner is manifested, and of course it is public life, of course... this is a family, well, of course, many, after they have already completed their working career, realized themselves to the maximum in the family and want to get some new emotions, sensations at a new stage of life, they also realize themselves in various a hobby, and of course this is physical activity, and so on, in the twentieth year we have been implementing a national strategy for active longevity, and this is a document that has concentrated all the directions of state policy that are being implemented today in relation to our citizens older age, of course, these are issues of social inclusion, first of all, this is what it is, this is the prevention of loneliness

, the prevention of social isolation, which is certainly very important for people who make, well, a transition, let’s say, from one stage of their life to another, yes, further, these are questions , of course, of extending work activity, if a person wants... to continue his work activity, having already reached retirement age, all possible conditions are also created for this, the next point is, of course, education throughout life, and this area is also envisaged as one of the key ones within the framework of the implementation of the national strategy , of course, these are issues of physical activity, health issues, issues of participation in all kinds of cultural events, and, of course, for people who today need additional measures support from the state - these are people with reduced physical activity due to health conditions, and these are measures of social support; social services of our social service institutions; measures support is aimed at all sorts of aspects

of the lives of our elderly citizens, and this is just like how we have already noted the issues of care in the event that a person needs additional assistance. yes, that is, these are social services, social services of territorial centers, our social workers and nurses, if a person needs round-the-clock constant care, these are our boarding homes. in addition, today the state also supports family members who are caring for their disabled relatives the first group, or persons who are over 80 years of age, but who need constant care, and by paying benefits to such citizens. if we talk about citizens who today are in demand for the widest possible range of different activities, yes, this includes physical education, sports, yes, uh, then today, on the basis of our territorial centers

, older citizens can realize themselves absolutely both within the framework of volunteer activities and directly be participants in classes that either our specialists conduct, or our elderly themselves citizens as volunteers conduct various activities. aimed at physical activity, these are yoga classes, this is nordic walking, well, the belarusian employer probably also provides certain support measures, what are they? yes, of course, for people who want to work, yes , there are also additional protection measures for people who have reached pre-retirement age, yes, today our legislation stipulates that if a person has has reached pre-retirement age, the contract or employment contract ends, then the employer is obliged to terminate the employment relationship until the person reaches retirement age.

the most valuable and important thing for our company is our team, these are its people , i like it here, if i didn’t like it, if i didn’t work, it’s natural, of course, we have something to boast about, our slogan is a guarantor of quality, they work here goal-oriented people, when everything works out, everything is fine, the mood is good, complex and clear, very important, multidisciplinary and , without a doubt, very necessary, an enterprise with great

production potential, an effective economic entity, this is all about it, about the borisov plastic products plant. the uniqueness of our enterprise lies in the fact that we are... the largest processor of polymer materials in the republic of belarus. today we can offer a high-quality polymer solution for personal problems,
