Our goal is to establish the name of every fascist and their accomplices who were engaged in the crimes against the civilian population in the Belarusian territory since July 1941. These data will be shared with the public. This is very important. Everyone should know the name of every fascist who has blood on his hands. Their descendants should understand that people can request the official data and get the information," Andrei Shved said.
