The Belarusian Foreign Ministry has lodged a protest against commemorations of Poland's post-war Enduring Soldiers anti-communist underground, planned on Sunday in Hajnówka, eastern Poland.
In its statement, the ministry especially condemned the event's intended commemoration of Romuald Rajs, an Enduring Soldiers commander known for brutal pacifications of the region's Belarusian population.
Calling the commemorations "an absolutely unacceptable glorification of war criminals," the ministry reminded that the Enduring Soldiers were today revered by Poland's radical right groups, and called the event, and especially its focus on Rajs, "a cynical insult" against the memory of the Enduring Soldiers' victims.
