释义 |
Chervyen massacre was one of the NKVD prisoner massacres. More than 1,000 political prisoners from Poland, Belarus, Lithuania were executed by the NKVD near Chervyen (present-day Belarus) on 25–27 June 1941. At the outbreak of the German invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, NKVD and NKGB hastily organized evacuation of numerous political prisoners into the interior of the Soviet Union. In many instances, instead of evacuating, NKVD carried out mass executions. Some of the evacuated prisoners, including about a hundred Lithuanians from Kaunas Prison,[1] were gathered at the Pishchalauski Castle in Minsk which already housed a number of Polish prisoners, members of the Union of Armed Struggle. On 24 June, 15 Lithuanians who had received death sentences before the evacuation were executed (among them was {{ill|Steponas Rusteika|lt}}, Lithuanian Minister of the Interior in 1929–1934). On 25 June, about 2,000 prisoners were marched on foot by troops from the 42nd NKVD brigade to Chervyen.[1] Along the way, about 500 prisoners were executed for failing to keep up. A Soviet report claimed that 209 prisoners were shot due to confusion and a German air attack.[4] On 26 June, the remaining prisoners were placed in the Chervyen prison. A few criminal prisoners were released when they volunteered for the Red Army. On 27 June, Belarusian NKVD received a telegram from {{ill|Mikhail Ivanovich Nikolsky|ru|Никольский, Михаил Иванович (генерал)}}, head of the NKVD prison department in Moscow, ordering to leave 400 prisoners in Chervyen and execute the rest. Since prisoner files were destroyed by German bombardment in Minsk, the guards made their selection of 400–750 prisoners almost randomly. On the night from 26 to 27 June, the selected prisoners were marched from Chervyen towards Babruysk. Initially, the NKVD soldiers shot those prisoners that lagged behind. Then, by a forest about {{convert|1.5|-|2|km}} from Chervyen, NKVD organized the mass execution. Of Lithuanian prisoners, about 40 survived.[1] In total, about 200 prisoners escaped.[9] The first commemoration of the massacre occurred in July 1990 when Lithuanian activists erected a wayside shrine and Belarusians a memorial cross.[10] Memoirs by survivors
