This is the first memorial plaque of “Terror” (Dzmitry Apanasovich’s call sign), all the others will be made on this layout. Exactly. It is worth remembering that a full-scale offensive took place from the territory of Belarus. These columns marched on Kiev, and thanks to the Belarusian heroes, who were among the first to defend the Kiev region.
