in the previous series, the treaty of riga signed in march 1921 divided the country into two parts - the west and the east. the border that made millions of belarusians foreign citizens. the reason for the separation and how the border was erected between the north. one of the main areas

that the polish authorities relied on in pursuing the policy of polonization was religion, it was used quite actively, because the overwhelming majority of ethnic belarusians in the territory of the eastern voivodeships of poland were orthodox, and this did not fit into pełsudski's concept of a state with a single nation and one religion.

a catholic is a privileged person, all others are second-class citizens, this was the most dangerous thing, because such expressions of a xenophobic nature: psya krep, klop, kotsap, all these expressions that were introduced through everyday conditions and propaganda, schismatic, if to the orthodox population, it, of course, only incited interethnic, interreligious hatred against them... they looked at them as outcasts, as second-class, third-class citizens who cannot even find work, because if, for example, there was any reduction at the moment, then they were primarily orthodox, a pole and a belarusian will work at the same job, then the pole will have one salary, the belarusian half as much, dissatisfaction with the policy of polonization, the fact that belarusians were forced to forget their native language, to deprive them of their faith. ancestors of ethnic

identity led to a mass national liberation movement. on the territory of the eastern voivodeships of poland for ...

for rent those same lakes, including lake narach, and local residents, ancestors, who called the lake our breadwinner, they had to come and get hired for work, in the noroch region, which at that time was part of the vilnius voivodeship of poland, there are more than 50 lakes, on these lands

they have been engaged in fishing for centuries, and for the peasants this trade was the main, and often the only source of income, and imagine, they will rise before the fact that the lakes are leased to landowners, the fishermen did not have enough patience, in the fall of thirty-fifth year unrest begins, self-defense squads were formed, they did not allow anyone near the lake people who collaborated with the authorities, they were called agents of the polish intelligence service or simply strikes of breaches in the concentration camp birch kartofska. soon , fishermen from all over the vilnius voivodeship began to stir up unrest against the polish agrarian tax policy. in the spring of 1936, the directorate of state forests refused to lease the river and the fishermen became the owners of the lake again, in 1939, the polish authorities were forced to make

concessions, allowing the peasants to resume fishing in the lake. maksim tank knew about the uprising firsthand, after all, he himself was from the norochany region, was born in pilkovshchina, this is in the modern myadel

district, went to school in a neighboring village, when he was eight, his homeland became poland, his native language suddenly became banned for defending his national... interests evgeny skurko, the poet's real name, was under close police attention and was imprisoned more than once. he received his first term at the age of 20, received a life sentence from the polish authorities and from... another major uprising took place in

the polesie voivodeship in the summer of 1933 years. the police came to a peasant family to confiscate two cows, because they had not paid taxes to the polish state. the cows were very large, so even in the house, to eat an egg or slaughter a calf. for yourself, it was considered almost a crime, how could you allow yourself to use it or slaughter a rooster, it all went to the market in order to earn money, to pay taxes. the entire male population - about 150 people, sided with the peasant.

the police fired into the crowd, but the polish did not disperse, in response they attacked the police. the network of punitive institutions on the territory of western belarus was quite extensive in all large. cities there were prisons, in all gminas there were police stations, and a chancellery camp was also in operation, where active participants in popular uprisings were sent. the murder of the minister of internal affairs of poland bronislaw piracki served as a pretext for the creation of a concentration camp. piracki was killed in warsaw on june 15, thirty-four, and already on june 17, the president of poland ignacy mosticki signed an order to create a concentration camp in the city bereza-kartussky concentration camp. officially it sounded like this. to fight against active elements and national minorities, the first group of prisoners arrived in bereza

already in july. after the camp was opened in bereza, the city became closed, it was possible to enter here only with special passes, the local population was forbidden to approach the camp, it was the first concentration camp on our lands, one of the most cruel in history. the first commandant of the camp grefner, he characterized his brainchild in such a way that there are only two ways out of our camp.

sentence. the prisoners in the bereza-kartuskaia camp had neither a first nor a last name, only a camp number. as soon as the gates closed behind a person, the command "run and march" was given. here, in general, all orders were carried out by running. this was the most athletic camp. hellish day was considered a day off. on sunday, the prisoners were freed from work, but were required to stand peacefully against the wall all day long, without touching it, with difficulty.

the prisoners' work day began at 4 am, and this despite the fact that during the night they were repeatedly raised. morning roll call, breakfast, work either in the workshops or in the field, the prisoner was harnessed to a ram, some were luckier, they made stone slabs, which were used to pave. streets, but if the guard didn't like something, punishment. punishment of the bloody road. that's what the prisoners called this punishment, but the police called this punishment a journey to stalin. the path was paved with broken bricks and the prisoner had to get up on all fours and crawl along this path, and also raise his hands up. the worst thing was to end up in a punishment cell, under it adapted former powder magazines, a cold room that was constantly

flooded with water, fed every other day, water and bread.

residents of western belarus, including women, began to be brought in en masse. thus, the number of prisoners reached almost 10,000 people, but it is impossible to document this. the camp ceased to exist on the day the red army crossed the border began its liberation campaign. september 1, 1939, the second world war began, on this day at 4:00 am, the armed

forces of germany crossed the border of poland, the first the bombs fell already at 4:26, during the day. the airfield and the third reich could not leave intact, especially if the cities were stationed units of the polish army. what the fascist bombings were in september thirty- nine, the residents of baranovichi also learned. on september 15, 1939, baranovichi was bombed, the radio station was bombed, both railway stations were bombed, the airfield was bombed,

were killed, wounded. we cannot say how many.

when the wehrmacht units approached the citadel. this is a fairly little-known fact of the history of the fortress, but nevertheless, almost 3 days, about

4,500 officers of the polish army soldiers, among whom were natives of local regions, our regions, defended the brest fortress. and on the night of september 16-17, thirty -nine, a decision was made to abandon the fortress, since there was no longer any possibility of defending it. there were very large losses, many soldiers of the polish army, belarusians by nationality, were captured, not only in brest, but along the entire front line, many remained in captivity until forty-fifth year, some were liberated by the red army, some managed to escape. mikhas vasilek, also more than once the victim, he was taken into the polish army, he met the thirty-ninth year in the polish army, ended up in a german concentration camp and in the forty-first year he escaped from the concentration camp. ended up as a red partisan participated in the partisan movement already in the grodno, skidino area.

on september 1, thirty-nine, with the beginning of the war in poland, the soviet union declares a general military mobilization, despite the non-aggression pact signed by molotov and ribbentrop a week before, because poland had already concluded a peace treaty with germany in thirty-fourth. such friendship as was at...

1940, it moved to london, so there is even a well-established term, the polish government in exile in london. it is worth mentioning that the president of poland, ignacy mastitsky, left warsaw on september 1, and the supreme commander-in-chief, edward rycmigly, on the night of 7. true, he fled to brest and from here gave the order to defend warsaw at any cost. even in the evening of the 16th, the soviet leadership reported to the german ambassador soviet schlinburg that today or tomorrow units of the red army would come to the border. september 17 , 1900. thirty-ninth year almost 4 million belarusians became people again, the liberation
