Belsat TV poll: What is Kurapaty?

 The passers-by were asked a question "What is Kurapaty?". Most of them answered "recreation zone", "a village burned down by the Nazi", "a geographical spot somewhere in the East", "a bird", "something connected with animals" and even "food". One youngster said that "there are such people".

Only several Minskers knew that Kurapaty is a place where the Soviet executive authorities killed dozens thousand of our countrymen during the years of Stalin repressions. Besides, one man said "repressions, held by no one knows whom".
