the retreat of the germans to the west left this battalion, joined our units and participated in hostilities. on the side of the red army he had an order. glory of the third degree. yes, two medals for courage wounding a respected veteran. stepan sakhno began to be interrogated as a witness who could know something about the execution of the old age of the underground worker and his family. however, with a window. behaved strangely, pointing at one person. he called the name of another, while he is excellent. remembered the smallest details of wartime events to expose him helped. from the testimony of one of the punishers it was known that a young man served in the 118th battalion. the policeman looks like an external one. sakhno this policeman - excellent students. makhno was very fond of football and played at number nine once, instead of being interrogated, they started talking about football, he did not feel the catch. he said that once in the army he played football in

the attack at number nine, and in the team they gave him the nickname makhno remarkable. that is, it is also a kind of skill. so you understand the person, everything, everything went fine. after all, a very long time has passed since the war man. he has already adapted , integrated in life, and he begins to show accusations based on the events that he committed, that is, it could be a kind of such a psychological breakdown and a person could cooperate and most likely did, therefore, on the basis of the crimes he committed and on the basis. uh, the help that the investigation turned out to be could just replace her with a big world punishment by another sentence from the five punishers was shot only by the commanders. the department of the last by an

ordinary policeman, including sakhno, the execution was replaced by 25 years. although, according to the judge, the death penalty for them. i just cried. i asked, well, all of all the punishers that e interrogated, what subjected you to e. here is participation in this formation. we earned a piece of bread. this is our job. it's these ukrainian nationalists. all of these, each one and the same, said that this was our heavy one. the bread was self-boiling. all this is for such people contempt. this is how the testimony of ordinary performers was in such a state even then. we were allowed to go to vasily mishka. who recognized the chief executioner of khatyn at the monument to his victims? why, after that,

he successfully covered his tracks for many years, how the former sessovite gave himself up on may 9 and where the rest of the punishers are now hiding. watch right after the ad, if you're a creative, ambitious young professional, then hurry up and take part in the national open. championship of creative competencies art masters. after the trial of the punishers lacustous. sakhno triggering the lazin knop, there was a lot of evidence of vasily’s involvement in the destruction of khatyn and other serious war crimes after they were c -e by position, the deputy commanders had only one thing left to figure out the lair in which the seasoned beast was hiding from 1974 rostov-on-don,

the regional newspaper molot publishes a portrait of the winner of the social competition, the chief agronomist, the collective farm named after maxim gorky, vasily meleshko, when his photograph was placed in the regional newspaper became. it is known that this is one of those criminals who destroyed the village of khatyn. he was identified and then, uh, the investigative authorities came out of him. in september, the seventy- fourth bag arrested the process in minsk was closed to the press. everyone who survived in khatyn and all the former punishers, who by this time were already dragging out their terms, were attracted to him. all the details were revealed when e was summoned from the camps, yes, who were in prison, and his companions. and who pointed out to him as the killer, who began to open fire. e not even listening to any orders of the germans personally shot people, trying to

save their own skin. meleshko told a lot, but this did not save him. the tribunal sentenced him to capital punishment. the sentence was carried out in 1975 by testimony. leshka was compared with everything that was known before and sparkling darkness, shrouded in the ashes of khatyn, the figure of her main executioner clearly appeared. ukraine 40 km from kiev, the village of velikaya dymka, now there are several factories, huge logistics centers and even a solar-powered power plant, in the late eighties. dymerka, too, was not a backwater. many kievans. there were dachas, a regular bus went to the city, as it turned out later, it was the great dymerka. one of the most wanted nazi

criminals has been hiding in plain sight for decades. chief executioner, khotyn chief of staff of the punitive battalion. grigory vasyura, after serving three years under the guise of an ordinary person who allegedly did not kill anyone, he was the storm fuhrer. the ss was released under khrushchev's amnesty and became deputy director of the state farm velika kadyrovsky. he did not hide the fact that he was behind bars from the neighbors. everyone knew a veteran with a difficult fate unfairly served time for being captured on the sixth day of the war, no one could imagine that in fact he was an officer of the waffen ss 1984 sight received a state award medal veteran of labor, in addition, he acquired a certificate of a participant in the great patriotic war. you know how after the war involved, of course. and medals, yes, for the

victory over germany there or you are no commemoration of documents, that who knows that he served as such a locomotive was written by no one even the most relatives did not know that gregory had other awards, two medals of the third reich for brutal massacres and mass punitive actions against the population of occupied belarus . now no one will ever know. and so, then he lost his caution and made a mistake, after which they decided to take a closer look at him. on what the main executioner-tyni pierced, how he behaved during the arrest, what happened to vasyura's children when they learned the whole truth, who identified him at the monument to the victims of the khatyn massacre, and where the

remaining punishers are now hiding, look right now. once in the dock, the punishers and the 118th ukrainian battalion tried to explain their betrayal with a variety of reasons, but apart from staunch nationalists who simply hated muscovites. the rest had one motive ; everyone wanted to survive for the sake of this, he was ready to kill other innocent people. zinaida levanets was a little girl when the nazis the henchman did not burn her village from kirmontov. 180 inhabitants died. she survived by chance and remembers well how on the eve of this monstrous massacre. and her neighbor was knocking to the policemen that now one family was shot in the village. why they shot him, because this miron already knew everyone because of him. if

he lived in the village, he knew all the people out there, he pointed out that they were partisans and there was something not to grind with a lemon there. i would say everything, the whole family came and shot many years after the war, zinaida was a levan. accidentally met the same miron and ozno ran through the skin, well, in fact he was given 25 years. he served there, probably for 10 years, and then he came by car, he arrived, at that time no one had a car for years, a car. here's a belly. excuse me, he had a former chief of staff of the punitive battalion, grigory vasyura, also lived well, built himself a big house and was in good standing with his superiors. yes, and he himself was engaged in the entrance, the fellow villagers were in a leading position, they were even afraid of the director's ferocity. yes, they say he was sensible, he accepted there the economy flourished, but

because russell, how he drank white people. is there really nothing cautious here, nothing frozen to think, what is it? what kind of person? if he hit some man, somewhere there someone will complain, but ruined vasyura, vanity in the eighties, the ss unterstormführer finally got used to the role of a red army veteran who was accidentally captured in the early days of the war and suffered for it in the stalinist camps the punisher became an honorary cadet of the kiev military school of communications, from which he graduated in 1940 the image of a front-line soldier in front of the youth, a man who not only had no heart, he had no conscience, he was shown everywhere, even the pioneers clapped him and so on. recognized participation in the war was encouraged. anyway. uh, all non-victory was celebrated

congratulated him as a respected front-line soldier. and so he and uh, in this militia, such a juried. and before the arrest, eyewitnesses, then told grigory vasyora in his free time from solemn speeches, diligently avoided meeting with real veterans of the great patriotic war on may 9, he preferred to go to quiet gatherings with former policemen who had already rewound some terms and left under the khrushchev amnesty there were six of his state farms, as on may 9 it was e in this village. there were other policemen there too. hmm, they served in the police with the germans, and they gathered among themselves. and here is the chairman. e of the local council of this state farm.

we interrogated him on the spot, he told about it. uh solemn meeting was not not present, but they themselves gather. and noted among themselves the villagers attributed this oddity to an insult repressed person. there is evidence that, well, this is according to polls of residents. of course, you can treat them with a certain amount of bias, but he never even celebrated the victory somewhere, that is, well , a man, in general, how to say, how to say in the words of a classic , harbored all these evils later in the press will appear, a shocking story, allegedly in the sixty-ninth year. vafsyura came to the opening of khatyn memorials, like a murderer who always returns to the scene of his crime, but then it turned out to be an unterstorm. the ss could not afford imagine such an oversight journalists. they just confused the executioner with the victim. the fact is that

kamensky, uh, the only adult witness, just remained, and in general they are similar. look at this photo and it freezes and they are somewhat similar, well, they wrote, imagine that vasyura goes to the planted khatyn, where the memorial was created. in fact , he was not a fool and did not appear in belarus after the war, and the most reliable cover legend read the mask of a well-deserved veteran. he tried to make it even more authentic and in the end. 1985 began to play the country celebrates the fortieth anniversary of the victory. over nazi germany, all veterans about whom there was data in local military registration and enlistment offices were awarded the order of the patriotic war. the ss untersturmführer realized that if he did not receive the order, those around him

would have uncomfortable questions and filed a petition with the military registration and enlistment office. hoping that enough time has passed and no one is looking for him. this was his fatal mistake. i would sit quietly for myself yes, and in general i would calmly survive, everything was fine. no, he began to demand for himself the order of the patriotic war, as a veteran and, accordingly, the checks began. well , because there are checks that surfaced of his past, the military commissar rummaged through the archive of the ministry of defense and found nothing, except for a certificate that the senior lieutenant of the red army, grigory vasyora. went missing on the sixth day of the war, the military commissar sent documents. a respected veteran in the state security agencies after all , you never know, maybe this is a former underground worker who performed secret missions in the german rear. here the chekists and compared the testimony of the ss zukführer vasily meleshko, a former colleague-basyura, shot in 1975 for the massacres of

civilians with known facts, the biographies of the vaffer and the description of the witnesses of the main executioner of khatyn, so the circle is closed. officers of the kgb of the belarusian ussr viktor makarchikov went to take the swearing beast, and ignaty yaroshevich came in. i'm in the village council with jobs workers. here we must also note such a characteristic that he has a look , look, well, you understand psychology, then there is a lot you can read even more. what will she say today, right? you can, well, let's go to the car

planted. and we drove in, the local district interrogated there. i think he thought every day that he would have to answer calmly. as a legacy and during the arrest, the wife and children of grigory vasyura. it has long been suspected that not everything is clean in the past of the former chief of staff of the 118th battalion, but they could not imagine that so many skeletons would be in the family closet. in the truest sense of the word, i did not know that he was being punished, because he just flew away. she stayed.

it's not my fault they released and now it will be the same, however, when my daughter is already an adult. vasyury, got acquainted with the secret materials of the case . she had no more questions and only the former punisher himself kept ice calm. for tough questions. he's not talking about anything. that's it. such a look, you know, a stone face, such a look, but like eagles like this, such a predatory one, he will lower his head , sit and watch, so i would, that is, an inheritance at work, met these all sorts of murderers, i didn’t

meet this. the first such, hardened punisher born edge demonstrated a master class of resourcefulness accurately calculated every word reacted instantly. and when it was necessary to skillfully hold a pause, the german preparation for the special school had an effect. vasyura, did not know that an exhaustive dossier had already been collected on him, in which there are testimonies of his former subordinate punishers from the 118th battalion and their accomplices from the sonder team of the der-liwanger, a detailed and completely revealing confession of his accomplice of the ss sucfuhrer small. and most importantly, there were still people alive who could personally identify the thief as punishers of the remnants, napa and ivan lozinsky, carried scientific stakes from vasyur from places conclusions across the country came. uh, stuffing

to move to belarusian. we are represented by these hands of the victims, they are used to walking like that. so it 's the most christian these caps in them in prison boots. in general, it’s like looking back, they didn’t attack, the policemen were on their way to us and lazinsky immediately identified their former leader. the judge of the military tribunal, listening to their story, regretted that he could not pass a fair sentence on these two, but they claimed that they were in a cordon and, uh, did not allow anyone to leave. well, if it were with vasyura together they would have gone like a song, like a song, they would have gone to finish off vasyuru revelation of the commanders, platoon, 118th battalion. vasily meleshko before the execution , no longer hoping we would not converge. he laid out everything,

how unlucky he was, him. uh, he handed over a little thing in 75 , they were judged not easily and then he told, uh, the same atrocities that he himself did, and who gave the commands? who led the actions, which were carried out by the 118th battalion on the territory of belarus on november 9, 1986 , in minsk, in the building of the military tribunal on frunze street, the trial of gregory began vasyura, according to eyewitnesses, the defendant resembled an animal that was driven into a corner; he was ready to snap back to the last in hope. break out of the trap. it turned out all his life to get away from the chase, maybe he'll be lucky now. such a pose was photographed by a wafer during the trial, which, characteristic of his leftist character

, met with such a brutal look, it’s not the first time killers of different categories with such a character with such a nature with such cruelty, mm rarely, happen at the same time. i even had to ring him calm down and take a break. well, he was so raging that the guards say. now we will finish him quickly, he admitted that he served in the 118th battalion, however, according to him, during the punitive actions he sat at the headquarters and shifted the pieces of paper. what functions did you perform as the chief of staff of the battalion? well, he made a duty schedule, there he checked the performance of the service by the police. there

, he controlled economic issues, and development plans. no, they are germans. e, with the participation of the first place with him, when it came to akhatyne, vasyura, he abruptly lost his memory and could not first remember the name of the village, and then remember it and each time he called it differently, it seemed that he felt that the ground was slipping from under his feet and began to replay no. someone had to stay there, but in the reports of the invaders with german pedantry, khatyn was destroyed, the 118th ukrainian battalion and the chief of staff of this

battalion could not help but know this, and then he launched his first. alibi he still had a version. that the day when this detachment moved to khatyn, he went to the hairdresser's, he went to the hairdresser's. and uh, this woman is a hairdresser. well, he shaved his hair and so on, and that he was busy, he did not go there, but she refused. today, not on this day, there was no one. on this day, everyone was all involved in the opera. he zigzagged to the last, that is, he forced the investigation to carry out a huge investigative work to prove each fact of his crime, when the version with the hairdresser failed with might and main did not give up, clinging to the last straw. unter sturm fuhrer, remembered his alibi which,

we see the coast. forever an extreme case during the khatyn tragedy, he, uh, yes, invented a version that he was on vacation in the baltic states and that he was here with his wife at that time and that the conception was in the baltic states, we conducted an examination in court, invited experts in this field. well, it turned out that 2 months the difference was this exposed him here, when vasyura realized that he could not wash himself off from the massacre in khatyn. he remembered that he was in the village that day , but he didn’t touch a fly with his finger . well, that is, the menu of what actions it is not there participated in this. here he took a defensive position during the process. we carefully considered all these

issues. and all this was refuted by his arguments in the subsequent prikabor. this set out all these instilled evidence of his participation in punitive operations, personal executions and so on, he is in all operations. by december 1986, the documents on vasyura's case were

already 14 volumes; the process was coming to an end, it was proved that, by order of vasyura, and in many cases personally, at least 360 civilians were killed . moreover, it was irrefutable established, the role of gregory vasyura. as the main executioner of khatyn. now everything he did that day was known by the minute. on the morning of march 22, 1943, vasyura raises the alarm of the entire battalion and arrives at the pleschenitsy track, lagoisk, where the partisans liquidated the chief commander of one of the companies , hans lelke, next to this place, the nazis shot the inhabitants of the village of kozyri, as a result of which 26 people and seven people were killed, wounded in the commission of this atrocity. vasyura , together with other battalion commanders, led

by the action of the police and personally shot at him this word that not a single living person should leave, some still managed to escape, including survived. nadezhda naughty in 1986, she spoke at the trial as a witness in the number. shalupin, nadia had four bullets in her. well, the hand was there. and it's two bullets in the hand hit. here she survived. she posted lived. so we interrogated her. at the trial, after the massacre of the villagers, the trumps punishers surrounded the village of the hut, bursting into it after introducing intense fire with all of the available surrounded by the village in the lake, he took an active part in organizing the implementation of the brutal reprisal against the

inhabitants of the named village under his personal leadership. vasyury people were herded into the largest barn. then they set it on fire, when the hot roof collapsed and under the pressure of the unfortunate the door opened, those who were still alive rushed outside, but they were met with machine-gun bursts during the commission of this atrocity, not visible in their cruelty. bosyura led the police battalion connected to him, we order to drive people to barn personally pushed them there and being in place. he organized the reprisals, controlled the actions, subordinates to destroy people personally shot from the weapon that was at him, but in a terrible list of monstrous crimes. gregory vasyura, in addition to khatyn, there are many more villages, villages and farms dalkovichi, makvi, old and new great harvests, and many others 1018, that from marshal

the battalion participated in the destruction of the jewish family camp in nalibokskaya pushcha. this is a jew who fled from the gta and because he was there women and children. and they could join the partisans. and it was called a family camp. now, uh, it's been destroyed. these same punishers, the village of owls, during the operation, the corps were personally destroyed by the partizan family. he himself walked around the village the night before and found out which of them was a member of the seven partisans. the police left crosses on the houses and the next day they selected them from the list. and the rest of the barn and the conduct

method, how they managed to prove the investigators and the murder of a young boy by vasyura at the station i was lucky that i once worked in an invoyage, which means that this was a hospital for disabled veterans of the patriotic war, i managed to find out that my husband worked as a teacher at school. she had a polish officer novogrudok served five children. here is the smallest boy of years climbed up there somewhere, at least to get some shoulder straps. it’s scary , of course, to speak directly on what stumps, if it’s basically a car that shoots a boy, but i found a couple of people who confirmed this fact to me, but this episode, of course.
