“Improvement of the road [leading to the site of mass graves] in the forest due to the inappropriate conduct of search operations” - a response to the appeal of activists organizing committee of the civil initiative “Chajsy” was Jan Dzyarzhautsau. Under the response is signed by the chairman of the executive committee of the rural Mazolovo Leonid Dubina.

Activists of the “Chajsy” sought clarification of the alleged massacres times of Stalinism and perpetuate the memory of repression victims, whose remains were found in a forest near the village of the same name.

Recall to deal in, the commission Mazolovo village council on May 13 visited the forest near the village of Chajsy. The commission included the chairman of the village executive committee Leonid Dubina, managing director of the village executive committee K. Kovaleva, forester Losvido Forestry A. Lipchansky. In the place of departure and a representative has been invited to create social initiatives Jan Dzyarzhautsau.

The results sent by reference to the circumstances of the case in particular, the response is reported that the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Belarus in Vitebsk region currently spends “examination of human remains found near the village of Chajsy” to clarify their "old".

Also, on their own initiative, ostensibly on the basis of information received from local residents, the village executive committee checks the version of a possible burial there of those who died during the Second World War. In this regard, the application was sent to the Vitebsk regional military commissariat of “carrying out excavations at the specified location in order to determine the period and the nature of the burial”.

This in itself is quite logical action of the authorities should not, at first glance, cause no apprehension on the part of the public. However, according to the activists of the initiative “Chajsy”, according to the villagers, who have lived in those days, no mass destruction of the civilian population by the German invaders in their seats were not. But there is the destruction of the repressed in the 30s knows, even those who were born after the war. Therefore, according to the activists, this attempt to clarify the “historical truth” can be overt or unconscious attempt to substitute, the authorities desire to direct public opinion in the usual hallway to her ideological “fascist terror”.

As stated at the end of the letter of Mazolovo village executive committee, following review of the local authorities will determine the “place and order the burial of the remains found”.
