Civil society activists held a ceremony in the village of Drazhna near Staryya Darohi, Minsk region, on April 15 to commemorate peaceful villagers massacred there by Soviet partisans during World War II, BelaPAN reported.
Participants visited the village cemetery to light candles and lay flowers at the graves of the victims.

They also commemorated the Soviet partisans who had been killed in a combat with a nearby garrison of Nazi police collaborators shortly before the massacre.

A round-table discussion on the role of the partisans was held in Minsk on April 15 and the trip to Drazhna was its continuation, the agency quoted Uladzimir Ramanouski, an activist of the Belarusian Voluntary Society for Historical and Cultural Heritage Protection, as saying.
