21 сентября 2022

The remains of 38 Red Army soldiers have been reburied with honors in the agro-town of Osintorf. They were found in summer at a depth of about one and a half meters. Presumably, the soldiers were buried this way straight after the battle.

The agro-town was released on June 23 of 1944 by the units of the 31st Guards Vitebsk Rifle Division under the command of Major-General Ivan Shcherbin.

This year, the  works on improvement of a military burial place where soldiers-liberators are buried were carried out. There are more than 800 names on the monument.

And today, a Memory Walk  appeared in the agro-town. The local school held a dialogue platform, the main topic is the preservation of historical truth
