Defense Minister announced in writing to thank the brothers Mishurnys they found the remains of Soviet soldiers during World War II. The next day, the Administrative Commission of the Viciebsk Regional Executive Committee has imposed on one of the brothers of an administrative penalty in the amount of 10 basic units.
July 5 agrotown Kopci resident 25-year-old Vladimir Mishurny (pictured), along with his brother Cyril schoolboy in a forest near the village looking for a metal which during the Soviet mismanagement hit the village adjacent to the forest. A piece of metal that was sticking out of the ground, forced to take up the shovel. Soon, about half a meter at a depth of guys stumbled upon human remains and objects of the last war: metal shards, shells, bullets. Incidentally found a razor and a medal with the inscription "For Valour» № 647 144.
Put yourself in the shoes of boys and I understand that to stay in such a situation and not to pursue further excavations, because it is prohibited by law, simply it was unreal. After all, we must remember that students Koptyanskoy school junior school teachers are trained to care for the well-known throughout the Viciebsk district war memorial, located in the village; Children take part in all activities related to the reburial of the remains found in the vicinity of the soldiers.
On the same day of their discovery brothers told fellow villager, a war veteran Victor Tereshchenko. He also gave them a medal with an individual number. Overcrowded and found impressions of what he saw, the guys have offered Mr. Tereshchenko transfer the remains of unknown soldiers from the forest and buried in the military memorial Lenin Komsomol, for whom he cares. Veteran agreed.
A few months later, September 8 (holiday event was postponed as long as the material evidence of employees of regional military commissariat find out the names of the dead), in the military memorial in a narrow range Funeral of two unknown soldiers found the guys.
September 10 on the above-mentioned event in the newspaper "SB – Belarus Today" has published an article Victor Tereshchenko "One name and doubles." Then, at a meeting with Defense Minister veteran Tereshchenko also mentioned the discovery brothers Mishurnys. The minister praised the event and expressed his gratitude for the guys writing the return of the non-existence of at least one more name of the deceased soldier.
But in the meantime, "watchful eye" in the actions of the district ideologue Vladimir and Cyril Mishurny has seen signs of a violation of Article 19.7 of the Administrative Code (violation of the procedure of opening a military burial of search operations in areas where the fighting took place, or punitive actions committed). Sanction this Article provides for a fine of between ten and thirty basic units.
For the validation of the fact of the prospecting and determine the circumstances of the case was carried out leaving in place a commission composed of local policeman Inspection juvenile Denis Medveditsa, District Marina Zdolnikovoy ideologue and deputy chairman of the executive committee of Viciebsk region Xenia Karabach. The results of the test head of the department of ideological work, Culture and Youth Affairs of Viciebsk Regional Executive Committee Mrs. Zdolnikovoy was drawn №1 (if not the first time ever?).
A few days later the Administrative Commission of the Viciebsk Regional Executive Committee under the leadership of chairman of the commission Kozlova D.N. "On the basis of Article 3.1 of the Procedural-Executive Code of Administrative Offences, having examined the materials of the case, has not established any circumstances that would mitigate or chargeable administrative offense", and imposed Vladimir Mishurny administrative penalty in the amount of 10 basic units (one million eight hundred thousand rubles).
Vladimir Mishurny says: "The law, of course, is the law, but I do not consider myself guilty. In human terms, it is unfair. For we have not made the penalty should be given, and the bonus. Besides, I'm not the excavations carried out, and the metal collected. And the remains we accidentally stumbled upon."
With all due respect to the law, in this particular case cannot be consistent with the relevant penalties imposed by the offense. If we compare this with the level of looting that was done for several decades at the site of mass graves in the forest near the village of Chajsy, where the unknown opened a few dozen graves, even in general to the leadership of the district there is quite a lot of sensitive issues.
Kopci guys are brought up in the spirit of patriotism, for his respect for the past get a fine, and the search for criminals, looters, break-the forest floor under Chajsy not interested in either the local authorities or the local police. A strange attitude to the law, which cannot be healthy logic.
