shot. in the previous series, the border in the center of the ethnic territory of belarus, half of the country is a desolate borderland, where the people are free labor, and natural resources are raw materials. life in the conditions of a harsh policy

of polonization, just because you are belarusian, you lost your job and could end up in a concentration camp. on sunday morning, september 17, 1939, at 6:00 a.m., the red army troops crossed the soviet-polish border along its entire length. this day went down in history as the beginning of the reunification of an ethnically united people, which for 18 and a half years was divided by a border. more than half a century has passed, but the memory of this event lives in the hearts of belarusians, because it became an act of historical justice in relation to the belarusian people.

strong regions, and having gone through trials, we will remain true to our national idea, as we always say, to be called people, such a chance fell to our generation, the generation that follows us, and we have no right to lose this chance, dear friends. on september 17, smigly gives the order. the soviet union invaded our land, i order a general retreat to hungary to romania, the shortest routes. do not

fight with the bolsheviks, except in the event of an attack from their side or attempts to disarm the detachment, therefore there was no serious resistance to the red army troops, and if you look at the balance of forces, it was approximately one to 5. the red army troops that participated in the liberation campaign numbered about 200,000 people, well, the polish armed forces numbered about 4,500 people, of which combat-ready...

we will have arms that have already fallen off, organized the meeting beautifully, i remember, they built an arch, here, right here in the center, women carried rugs, woven ones, blankets, the red army was riding on horses with music, each of those who came here, of course, wanted

to bring the citizens inhabiting these lands liberation and unification in a single state. around 8:00 p.m. the red army entered novogrudok, the city was practically... empty, but people, seeing the soviet soldiers, began to come out of their houses, flowers immediately appeared, they were treated to whatever they could, apples, bread, they were given milk to drink, the red army was met very joyfully, with flowers, with bouquets, everyone ran to greet with applause, such joy for the population, they made a gate, two birches, everything in flowers. here they set a table, the table was sent to the white russians, they laid out towels, bread, salt, our village was belarusian, national, as

they say, belarusians.

the army did not offer any resistance at all, everything went without clashes, it was impossible, there were serious military actions, the red army suffered losses, there were killed on the polish side too. one can probably note the guard kamenny voz, who really gave battle red army, in fact, not even the entire guard, but its commander. having learned of the red army's advance, he ordered the garrison to retreat toward the town of plisa, and he himself remained in the guard.

western belarus, which made up the majority of these territories, believed that with the arrival of soviet power, the lands that belonged to the settlers, the polish landowners, would be returned to them, so they not only welcomed, but in every way helped the soviet soldiers, for example, in skidel a few days before the arrival of the red army, raised a rebellion, but revenge soon followed, it was much harsher than... simply disarming the soldiers, who were later released, the poles responded barbarously, the city was set on fire, dozens of houses burned down, people were killed, some were tortured. 18 people had stars cut out of their backs, their eyes gouged out, their ears cut off on the bank of the river, only when

the first soviet tanks appeared on the twentieth, four tanks, did the gentry flee, this page of history must be shown, recently... belarusian historians have discovered the grave of mr. yefimovich, what is interesting about him, he died at the age of 33. the tanks ran out of fuel. budyonny issues an order for the air force to urgently transfer

fuel and the tanks to continue the offensive. on september 22, soviet tanks entered grodno. here the greatest resistance during the entire liberation campaign took place. the red army was met by a small number of polish armed units and high school students with police officers, those who could. hold weapons, organized resistance to the red army, the battle took place right in the center of the city, were several tanks were set on fire, red army soldiers and officers of the red army were killed, as evidenced by the monuments in our city of grodno. weakly organized and trained people could not offer serious resistance, so it was quickly suppressed, some surrendered, some retreated, bang-bang-bang-bang, chustralianina, i jumped out onto the square, there were already tanks, you understand, but

it couldn’t be like that... it was supposed to be transferred to the city only in the form of a march, which took place along today’s lenin street near today’s buildings of the brest regional executive committee. why exactly in this form of the city of uperda we do not know, perhaps it was stipulated in some agreements, documents that are currently unknown, but not only in brest, but also in grodno and lvov, such actions were carried out under the rise of the brigade commander krivashein and general gudirian, they stood. residents of brest stood on the street on the opposite side and watched as parts of the german army left.

of course, there were german planes in the sky, some time after the start, and after these units left, units of the red army entered here. at this time , soldiers of the third reich tried to take trains with captured property out of the city, but units of the red army blocked the railway station. 20 trains remained in belarus. in addition, the germans were unable to take out prisoners, about 4,000 people. were released for soldiers called up from the territory of western belarus, the war was over, because then no one thought that literally in a year and a half they would have to fight again with by the nazis. and it is no coincidence that those who came here, they said that peace, only peace, we wanted to continue our victorious path, they wrote this not in some newspaper articles, on some banners, they simply wrote to their relatives. on the back of their photographs, sharing impressions of how warmly the local population greeted them. well, according to

the recollections of brescia residents, immediately after the end of the march, music was playing in the city, it was all in flowers, red flags, people were relaxing, cinemas were showing new soviet films, everyone came out to meet us. organized a club, from that time on they started showing movies, we often came here in 1939 to watch a movie, it cost 20 kopecks, you know, we have so many books in the library, and we are so happy that we, we didn’t know how to read, but we took them.

the soviet union didn’t have enough of them, especially since enemy provocations happened quite often, they were reinforced by border guards, who began to arrive in brest in the fall of 1939. meanwhile, the eastern border of western belarus has been for several days lived by soviet law. one of the first orders was that prices should be frozen at the level of september 15. shops were open from 9

a.m. to 7:00 p.m. cities and towns gradually began to live in a new way.

but the transition of western belarus to the soviet union had to be legally secured. on october 1, 1939 , the central committee of the supreme soviet of the republic of belarus decided to hold elections to the people's assembly. the campaign period began on october 7. polling stations opened at 6:00 a.m. on october 22. in addition to the seven members of the commission, representatives of the

nkvd and the military in case of various kinds of provocations. the elections themselves were held. very actively from, in my opinion, there were about 2,700,000 voters on the territory of western belarus, voters who had the right to vote, that is, they reached this age, could participate in the elections, of which about 97% took part in these elections to the people 's assembly of western belarus. already on october 28.

soviet union, uniting it with the bssr. legally, the point of return of the original belarusian territories was set at the session of the supreme council of the belarusian ussr on 14 november thirty-nine. back in thirty -ninth year, the people's assembly of western belarus proposed to celebrate september 17 as the day of liberation of the workers of western belarus from the yoke of the bourgeoisie of landowners. and so it was celebrated until the beginning of the great patriotic war. in forty-fifth year, september 17 was celebrated as the day. of reunification, but the last time belarus celebrated the holiday was in forty-ninth year, on the tenth anniversary of unification, this day became a kind of figure of silence, the fact is that poland is extremely painfully... after that, as the new soviet border was established

, the defense capability of the border territories came to the forefront for the authorities, both union and local. the military infrastructure in western belarus was very weak or completely absent. communications, that is , routes, railways, highways, of course, borders, or the proposed theater of military operations had to be brought into line, firstly, expanded, and secondly, brought into line, let 's say, with the soviet one. it is clear, the construction of airfields, that is, it is necessary to place aviation, support of ground troops, this structure of air support was practically absent. they also thought about the deployment of troops that arrived at the new border of the soviet union, in some places they used the infrastructure of the polish army, but these were isolated buildings, so the construction of barracks, the arrangement of troops in ... including everyday life fell on the shoulders of the new authorities and the local population. the new border also remained open, it moved away from the old border line by about 300-350 km. therefore,

the so-called stalin line lost its relevance. in june of 1940 , the people's commissariat of defense issued an order to build new fortified areas in this territory. there were four of them. grodno, osovets, zambrovsky and brestlitovsky, which formed part of the molotov line. grodno was the largest, several dozen kilometers long, 11 defense nodes and 606 pillboxes. despite the fact that the country was a single country, the border had not yet been officially removed. people passed from western to eastern belarus with passes, border guards served in a special regime, saboteurs and reconnaissance groups detained almost daily. according to the recollections of, for example, the rector of the brest regional party committee, solomon naumovich iofe. once in the koblin area, he was an eyewitness to the event when he met german officers who had come here to exhume the remains of those who died during the first world war. naturally, this was only a cover for the

outlet that was taking place. from 1939 to 1941, the belarusian border district recorded more than 5,000 border violations. the soviet union also attached great importance to socio-economic policy in the annexed territories. the work began.

reached 1755 and more than 5,000 numbered with mid-level medical workers. as

a result of the reunification of western and eastern belarus , the population almost doubled, the country's territory increased. industry began to develop on these lands. already in the forties, about 300 industrial enterprises were operating, the total volume of production of which amounted to 28% of the total industrial production of the bssr. the created state enterprises merged into the general economic potential of soviet belarus. 2025 is a landmark year for the eac. the results will be summed up. which was signed by the heads of state

of the five in december last year on the further development of the union. the policy of peacefulness, openness and good neighborliness without a visa to belarus is becoming increasingly popular among the residents of europe. the dynamics are positive, in just one week more than four thousand foreigners from 38 european countries entered our country. since the launch of the extended visa-free regime in july, more than 4,600 guests from 35 countries have visited the entire country. belarusian hospitality. visa-free entry is an opportunity not only to travel freely, but to see with your own eyes everything that the country lives. increase mutual trade turnover to half a billion dollars, such is the expected effect of interregional cooperation between belarus and the pskov region of russia. pskov is one of the first russian regions with which belarus signed a roadmap for 3 years. this is due to joint projects in industrial cooperation, mechanical engineering, and agriculture. but there are also completely new niches of cooperation. analytics.
