00:00:00no authority of the United
00:00:02Nations, that authority, those problems that
00:00:06are now literally shaking
00:00:09the United Nations. We know what statements
00:00:12are made there and who is
00:00:15trying to run the agenda, who
00:00:18is running it, but it seems to me the more weight the SCO has,
00:00:22the more it will grow, the more the authority
00:00:26of the United Nations will strengthen, our president emphasized.
00:02:02The first informational
00:02:05together with the State Security Committee
00:02:08of Belarus present
00:02:11a project on the genocide of the Belarusian people
00:02:14during the Great Patriotic
00:02:17War. The sadist in the alphabetical
00:02:21list number one, who was declared
00:02:25wanted four times in the all-Union search. This
00:02:29was one of the bloody
00:02:31executioners, on whose account, according to the Supreme
00:02:35Court, there were more than 5,000 victims,
00:02:38burning villages and execution marches
00:02:42of the strangler, still remembered with shudders,
00:02:45Imenyevich, somewhere his shadow, they say,
00:02:49walks somewhere, probably here in this world. Spy
00:02:52skills, accomplice of the Nazis, agent
00:02:56of British intelligence. At the London trial.
00:03:30In the early nineties of the last century, on the front pages of tabloids, along with
00:03:34photos of Princess Diana, photos of a short
00:03:37gray-haired old man in glasses with thick lenses appear. This is Semyon
00:03:41Seraphimovich. This is the surname he took when he began living
00:03:45in the British Isles in 1947.
00:03:48Before that, his surname differed by only one letter -
00:03:52Seraphimovich. He was a cruel,
00:03:56unprincipled executioner who destroyed villages, destroyed.
00:05:42They tracked him down. He did everything so that his surname would not
00:05:46be mentioned in any voter lists, so that
00:05:49his surname would not be in any telephone
00:05:52directory. He did everything so that he would not
00:05:56be found. The quiet life of a carpenter, with trips to
00:05:59church once a week, continued for almost 50 years. But at the doorstep
00:06:03of the two-story house, journalists,
00:06:07British and Soviet, began to appear more and more often.
00:06:11They wanted to talk about peace, but at the word "peace"... The face
00:06:14of the calm pensioner suddenly became
00:06:17They rang the doorbell, and a tall, thin man opened it for me.
00:06:20He immediately became pale and said, "I don't know if he guessed or
00:06:24recognized me, but he immediately said, "You won't
00:06:26prove it. I watched what the Germans did, but I didn't
00:06:30shoot myself. Remember you'll regret it. Don't
00:06:34touch me, I'm not bothering anyone, I live quietly,
00:06:37peacefully." It was difficult to understand him. Seraphimovich's speech
00:06:41was a mixture of Belarusian.
00:07:42in the occupied territory of Belarus during the Great Patriotic War, Semyon
00:07:46Seraphimovich. He grew up in a large peasant
00:07:49family of middling means. Besides him, his parents had four more
00:07:52daughters. Seraphimovich married very early.
00:07:56His first son was born when he was 17 years old. This caused serious
00:08:00conflicts with his father. They arose over issues of managing the household
00:08:04and property rights. Semyon leaves the family, and his son
00:08:07is raised by his wife. When the boy was 8 months old, she
00:08:11died.
00:08:20A new life without obligations and responsibility to his son for
00:08:24Seraphimovich began with work at the mill, where his uncle,
00:08:27his mother's brother, arranged for him to work, first as a grain receiver,
00:08:30then as a manager. Soon Semyon married a second
00:08:33time, and he married, apparently,
00:08:37based on these goals of his, that is, he had a wife.
00:08:40only her father
00:08:44was prosperous, that is, he had his own farm, he also had his own
00:08:48mill, a fishing season, where they caught fish,
00:08:51including, as we say, today from the dining room,
00:08:55so he entered this prosperous family,
00:08:58the annexation of Western Belarus to Eastern Belarus, the arrival of Soviet power, was
00:09:02a blow to Seraphimovich's unfulfilled dreams.
00:09:05He did not want to work at the mill for labor-days. This hurt
00:09:09his pride. He was able to realize his ambitions as a leader
00:09:13during the Great Patriotic War. From the first days
00:09:16of the occupation of Belarus, Seraphimovich voluntarily joined the service of the
00:09:19Nazis. He was appointed commandant of the police garrison in
00:09:23the town of Yeremichi. Then, for impeccable
00:09:26service, he was transferred to Turets. He practically daily, with his
00:09:30subordinates, went out on operations to eliminate Komsomol members,
00:09:33communists, Soviet party activists, and families
00:09:37of partisans. He knew the local population perfectly, as he himself had lived
00:09:40in this area for a long time before the war.
00:09:44The building where the police were located in Turets has been preserved to this day, next
00:09:48to the church. A fundamental low-rise building with impressive
00:09:52walls and a rather atypical color for that
00:09:54time. Arrested people were kept in the basement.
00:09:58And on the bell tower of the ancient church, the policemen
00:10:01set up an observation post and installed
00:10:04a machine gun. And all the people said that he was a very cruel
00:10:08man. He himself was handsome, always rode a white horse.
00:12:03Another important aspect for Seraphimovich: killing
00:12:06people, including fellow villagers, was an opportunity to improve his material
00:12:10situation. It was very easy to get rich, which he did.
00:12:14According to witness testimonies, he had many gold
00:12:17items and expensive interior items at home. He proved
00:12:20his loyalty to the Nazis in the pogroms of villages,
00:12:24the extermination of innocent civilians, participation in punitive actions
00:12:27with other Nazi units, and, what is
00:12:30important, friendship with the commandant, the head
00:12:34of the gendarmerie. In early 1942, Seraphimovich headed
00:12:37the district police, which was located in Mir. This fact
00:12:41satisfied his pride. They feared him, which meant, in
00:12:45Seraphimovich's opinion, they respected him.
00:12:48He indulged his vanity by mocking those weaker than him,
00:12:52humiliating and beating them. He could just
00:12:55kill a person out of his own desire, perhaps a bad
00:12:58mood. Maybe in this way he raised his authority in the eyes
00:13:02of his subordinates. They hid from the blockade and sat on
00:13:05the bank, waiting for when, they said, they could
00:13:09go home. Then this Seraphimovich arrived, bathed
00:13:13in the water, came out of the water, so proud, self-confident, and
00:13:17beat two men to within an inch of their lives,
00:13:20then shot them. And why he killed them, is still
00:13:24unknown.
00:14:25They looted houses, shot people. In the winter
00:14:29of 1942, Seraphimovich arrived in our village of Krinichnoye
00:14:32on a sleigh drawn by horses with
00:14:35his executioners. They killed my father, Rubin
00:14:38Krinitsky, my mother, three sisters, a brother, and
00:14:42my five-year-old daughter. Along with them, they shot my uncle, Fabel
00:14:46Krinitsky, my aunt, their six
00:14:49grandchildren, my son-in-law, and my daughter-in-law. One of Seraphimovich's
00:14:52thugs liked the sweater sister, and
00:14:56he pulled this sweater, knitted by my mother, from her
00:14:59dead body. My
00:15:02parents and sister were taken out of the house into the snow, not even being allowed
00:15:05to put on warm clothes. For the execution, probably for
00:15:08mockery, they specifically chose a low and dirty
00:15:12place. She searched for him her whole life,
00:15:15searched for 50 years, and our local village council chairwoman,
00:15:18Reiserman, says, "Where does she keep going?" Maria Vladimirovna,
00:15:22I don't know, it's awkward to ask, she was probably looking for him.
00:16:37They shot Jews brought from the Mir Ghetto. We stood
00:16:41a few tens of meters from the pit and watched
00:16:44what was happening. First, women and children were shot,
00:16:48and then men. After that, the police ordered us
00:16:51to bury the dead. Many of them were still alive, and the earth, as
00:16:55if alive, heaved and fell over their bodies, as if
00:16:59breathing. This was the final point in
00:17:03the solution of the Jewish question. An estimated
00:17:07number. 600-650 people, it was a mass
00:17:10execution, the destruction of people, where there was
00:17:14blood, where there were tears, where there were screams,
00:17:18where there was an understanding that this was the end of everything,
00:17:21the end of the lives of those people who at that moment
00:17:25were near this pit. When people were being shot,
00:17:28a girl asked one of the policemen not to
00:17:32kill her, to save her. And he pushed her alive into this
00:17:35quarry. How could they?
00:17:44The translator Osvald Rufaizen's own life saved hundreds of residents of Mir and
00:17:48surrounding villages. He reported on impending punitive actions,
00:17:52handed over weapons, and helped people escape to the forest. But after
00:17:55the Jewish pogrom, he was captured. Osvald
00:17:58Rufaizen was not arrested, he was taken to the commandant's office. The commandant
00:18:02conducted an interrogation, but in principle he could not believe that
00:18:06it was he who committed such an act. For him it was
00:18:09something unthinkable. He left
00:18:12Osvaldo Rufaizan in the office and left himself. Oswald
00:18:16took advantage of the opportunity
00:18:19and escaped. They looked for him everywhere, as
00:18:23I understand, but he hid with the nuns of the local
00:18:27monastery, hid for a long time, there is even
00:18:30a version that for more
00:18:33than a year, in women's monastic clothing...
00:18:42He hid for 19 months, then went to a partisan detachment, and after the war moved to Israel, to the city
00:18:45of Haifa, where he was known as Monk Daniel, and
00:18:48Seraphimovich was promoted after successful punitive
00:18:52actions and transferred to Baranovichi, where he headed the punitive
00:18:55detachment. It was called Jagdkommando 1, which means
00:18:59extermination squad. In this extermination squad,
00:19:03personnel were selected, which Seraphimovich also selected
00:19:06and trained. Excellent personnel, but also
00:19:09for one or two months they underwent training, that is, drill,
00:19:13command execution, shooting, and various
00:19:16tactical training, how to encircle villages,
00:19:19how to fight partisans. The detachment was well
00:19:22armed. The task of the special punitive unit was to fight
00:19:26partisans. However, it was much easier to fight unarmed
00:19:30people, encircle a village, shoot or burn the population
00:19:33alive, and then write in a report that dozens
00:19:37of bandits were destroyed. This is how the Nazis and their accomplices called
00:19:41partisans. In the autumn of 1942, Seraphimovich and
00:19:44the police carried out a punitive action against partisan
00:19:48formations. His agents reported that the villages of Antonovo and
00:19:52Sinyavskaya Sloboda had become a refuge for partisans. Many
00:19:55partisan families live here, practically every house bakes
00:19:59bread and collects provisions to send to the forest. Moreover, the local
00:20:02residents are partisan liaisons, which means
00:20:06enemies of the occupation.
00:20:37They spared neither children nor the elderly, then looted houses
00:20:41and held torchlight processions. In Yeremichi, there was
00:20:44a family, Stenin, who
00:20:48had not had children for eight years.
00:21:21from the barn. The policeman saw her running away, caught up with her,
00:21:24and shot her. Only one boy was left. The boy ate,
00:21:28I heard machine gun fire and wild screams. People were herded into a house
00:21:31and set on fire. There was smoke and a pungent smell, which made it very
00:21:35difficult to breathe. I lay there for about 3
00:21:38days. One morning early I heard a woman crying, went out to
00:21:42her. She asked me where I came from, and I told
00:21:45her everything. She told me that everyone had been burned,
00:21:49including my mother. They went into one
00:21:52house, shot everyone, and didn't notice a small boy
00:21:55whose whole family had been shot. This child,
00:21:593 years old, he was, well, about that small. After that, he
00:22:02ran out of the house crying. The police
00:22:05returned and killed this little
00:22:08child. By the summer of 1943,
00:22:12Seraphimovich had risen to the rank of lieutenant in the German army. Before
00:22:15the Red Army's offensive, the executioner fled to East Prussia, where he joined the
00:22:19volunteer infantry SS division under the command
00:22:22of Hans Zeigling. Seraphimovich was a platoon
00:22:26commander. After the division was defeated, he was captured
00:22:30and began collaborating with British intelligence.
00:22:33He was used by them
00:22:36as a teacher in one of the
00:22:38special schools for training saboteurs
00:22:42who were to be prepared for deployment to the territory
00:22:45of the Soviet Union. The search for
00:22:48Seraphimovich began immediately after the end of the Great Patriotic War. A search
00:22:51case was opened for the traitor of the homeland, accomplice
00:22:55of the Nazis, executioner. These are
00:22:58two rather
00:23:02voluminous volumes, the basis
00:23:05of which is the data
00:23:07that was available to the state security agencies at
00:23:11the time of the investigation, which was the end of the 1940s,
00:23:14and the interrogation protocols
00:23:17of witnesses, and also.
00:25:53As much as I told, I cried as much, remembering
00:25:56those terrible events that took place during
00:25:59the war, how Serfich mocked people.
00:29:02it's great here,
00:29:17there are no objective reasons, there is only
00:29:20terrible irresponsibility and
00:29:23lack of discipline. Executive discipline is a
00:29:27complex and rather difficult topic. On what issues do people
00:29:30judge the work of the authorities? This is, of course, housing and communal services and
00:29:33roads. The State Control Committee conducted
00:29:36a large-scale inspection. They relied on citizens'
00:29:39appeals. Now all attention is on the settlements that will
00:29:43host the Dazhynki harvest festival. We checked, and work is in full swing.
00:29:47Not only in the city, but in the entire district, more than 50
00:29:50km of roads have been repaired. This includes the road surface itself, as well as sidewalks,
00:29:54bicycle paths, signs, and bus stops.
00:29:57The organization services 1600 km of roads in
00:30:00the entire Minsk region.
00:30:02for each season are very extensive, so we will see very soon
00:30:06whether it was possible to work on that very discipline in
00:30:09the field? the food
00:30:13security of the entire country depends on the effectiveness of the harvesting campaign. The State
00:30:17Control Committee checked the farms of the Dobrush district.
00:30:20There were some shortcomings, but at the committee's request,
00:30:23all violations were
00:30:36various spheres are being resolved under the president's control,
