Vitebsk activists landscaped burial place of the victims of communism in the field

Several years in the woods near the village fields create makeshift memorial - in memory of the civilians who were shot here in 1930-50 years. It has multiple crosses, and landscaping of this place was the concern of Vitebsk activists.

Despite the fact that the local BPF members gathered evidence old-timers who remember the executions of Soviet citizens to official perpetuating their memory, it never came. Authorities refuse to put here any memorial, and therefore Vitebsk activists create a homemade memorial for yourself - put a cross on the model of how this is done in Kurapaty near Minsk.

Highest cross - metal, the inscription "To the victims of the totalitarian regime," the other smaller crosses, mainly wooden. Several times crosses in these places destroyed by unknown, but activists put the new.

At least two or three times a year near Memorial homemade make cleaning - usually in the spring and on the eve Dzyady. This year, on October 29 and the BPF members of the movement "For Freedom" again came into the fields - cut down bushes, remove debris, commemorated all those who innocently died during Stalin's terror.
