'''Kurapaty''' is a wooded region in [[Belarus]], where the [[NKVD]] killed about 30,000 civilians (largely Belarusians, Poles, Lithuinians and Jews) from 1937 until 1941. The burials of the victims were discovered in 1988.<ref>http://www.massviolence.org/Kurapaty-1937-1941-NKVD-Mass-Killings-in-Soviet-Belarus</ref> In 1990 the government of Belarus recognized that the massacre took place. President [[Alexander Lukashenko]] refuses to create a memorial for the massacre. Instead of that volunteers erect crosses to honor the victims.<ref>http://euroradio.fm/en/bcd-members-erect-8-new-crosses-kurapaty-memorial-complex-photo</ref>
