VOLGOGRAD, 29 April (BelTA) – A number of terrible facts have been uncovered thanks to an investigation into the genocide of the Belarusian nation. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko mentioned them during the international patriotic forum of the Union State of Belarus and Russia “Great heritage - common future” in the Russian city of Volgograd on 29 April, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko remarked that Belarus’ prosecution service has been investigating terrible facts of the genocide of the Belarusian nation for several years already. New crimes are also revealed. “Thousands of women, old people, and children, who have been burned alive and tortured to death. Our scientists and military personnel dig into soil and find remains of babies that their mothers hold tight to their chests. Children in every pit. Entire families were killed and eliminated,” the president mentioned some of the facts. “The methods of execution are terrifying. People were forced to lie down on dead bodies in order to put as many bodies into the pit as possible. Grenades were dropped on top of them in order to pack more people.”
Eyewitness testimonies indicate that bellies of pregnant women were cut open, that heads of babies in arms were smashed by rifle butts, that toddlers were thrown into windows of burning houses, that babies were thrown into the air only to fall down on bayonets. Mothers, who saw all of that and went mad, were hunted down like animals.
“These documents have been classified up till now. Revelations that Lithuanian, Latvian, and Ukrainian nationalists had demonstrated special cruelty were discouraged in the Soviet period. And today in the Baltic states and Ukraine young people wave banners of SS divisions and monuments to fascist butchers are put up. And all of it happens with the silent approval of the rest of the West,” Aleksandr Lukashenko pointed out. “But we shouldn’t stay silent. This is why you and I have come here today.”
The president remarked that Western “specialists” on Soviet, Belarusian, and Russian history write that stories about heroes contain too much pathos and exaggerate the scale of heroic deeds. “We get hints that we should also talk about our bad apples and we should not forget ‘good’ Germans as well. They teach us pseudo objectivity from across the ocean,” the head of state was scathing about these “experts”.
He also drew attention to the behavior of ambassadors of European Union countries, who lay flowers at the WW2 memorial Khatyn with shame, without mass media coverage and hide their faces from cameras of reporters. Poland organizes events to celebrate the liberation of Auschwitz prisoners by the Red Army without inviting representatives of Belarus and Russia. And German mass media report that this concentration camp was liberated by U.S. troops.
“In other words, everything is being done to erase the memory of the Great Victory, the memory of our winners,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stated. He stressed that it is necessary to counteract it through joint efforts of Belarus and Russia.
