November 4, activists from Viciebsk laid a wreath on the grave at the military burial #4429. They believe the authorities are reburied the remains of victims of Stalinist repression, and outraged by how in an uncomfortable place to visit is the resting place of the killed innocent people.
As previously reported, in October, at the initiative of the authorities of the Viciebsk region on said war memorial were the remains of 172's of unknown persons raised a year ago, the military of the 52nd search battalion during exhumation in the forest near the village of Chajsy.
According to local historians, Vitsebsk activists, these unknown – citizens, repressed in the 30s. Despite the undeniable, is believed to activists, the evidence, the authorities went to the undisguised falsification of announcing killed people NKVD victims of the Nazis and buried them side by side with the soldiers of the Red Army, who died in 1944.
The funeral ceremony was carried out by the authorities during the reburial took place more than modest. None of the representatives of the civil initiative "Chajsy", which two years ago and told the public with information about the place of the Stalinist executions in the Sparrow forest, the event was not invited.
In the words of Jan Dzyarzhautsau not come and did not honor the citizens finally buried Viciebsk activists simply could not. However, they will never agree with the official position of the authorities. The current visit to a military burial ground – a tribute to the victims of Stalin's regime. On the tapes mourning wreath from members of the civil initiative "Chajsy" is written: "the innocent victims of Stalin's terror ... Remember, sympathize, grieve."
Together with the members of the initiative and visited the grave of a native village staves Alexey G. Nikitin, who told me that his parents' house was located three kilometers from the place of mass executions. According to the memoirs of his grandfather Yegor Ivanovich Korzhanev, in 1939, almost every night NKVD brought to prison and shot. One morning after the next shootings grandfather and a friend took a chance to visit a dangerous place. From what he saw hair stood on end: the land on the place of burial was moving. Affected friends fled home. After the war, my grandfather Yegor repeatedly showed her grandson are grave, and showed them to my grandmother.
As members of the initiative "Chajsy" considered that the authorities chose repression is this memorial, it seems no accident remains for burial. Because he is in a very uncomfortable place to visit. Getting to it is on foot or via railway journey from Łośvida station or along the path of the highway Viciebsk-Hatadok. In both cases you will have to walk a few hundred meters. And the fact that in the tomb did not put even the cross and laid a single wreath, indicative of this government with respect to the repressed.
