Dear Reader! In your hands is a book that is hardly suitable for light reading. It is possible that familiarization with its sad pages will require painful work of the soul and heart. For those who are not ready for such work, who are tired of revelations and “blank spots,” we advise you to put the book aside. We will talk about the investigation, interrogations and examinations, about the difficult search for answers to painful questions: “who was killed?” You will find an extremely accurate, frank story about the bitter events of our history, which we have no right to forget, unless we want it to happen again. The book uses materials from the criminal case of the investigation by the Prosecutor's Office of the BSSR into mass executions of Soviet citizens in the 30s years near Minsk.
