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.
