On the eve and on the Day of Remembrance of the Khatyn Tragedy, requiem rallies were held in the Lepel district.

On March 20, an event took place at the burial site of civilians in the village of Kvetcha, Domzherytsky Village Council. In 1943, the village and its inhabitants met a terrible fate similar to Khatyn. Many years have passed since those times, but the stories of fascist atrocities on our land, the understanding of what our people had to endure during the war, still cause horror in the minds of modern Lepel residents. Students and teachers of the Domzherytsky Basic School honored the memory of the fallen residents of Kvetcha village and laid flowers at the memorial.

On March 21, a requiem rally brought together students and teachers of the Borovska Secondary School, as well as the Chairman of the Bobrovsky Village Executive Committee, Anatoly Kuprevich, in the village of Kistelyovo. A mass grave of victims of fascism is located here on the site of the village destroyed by the Hitlerites. Today, a stele in the form of a roof of a destroyed hut stands at this place. Nearby is a weeping willow. On the other side is an alley of old linden and maple trees. And a little further away is a manually piled mound, under which the ashes of the fallen residents rest. There are three dozen names on the memorial plaque.

On March 22, dozens of Lepel residents gathered in the village of Slobodka, Staysky Village Council, where a mass grave of victims of fascism is located on the site of the village destroyed by the Hitlerites.

Lepel residents honored the memory of the victims of the tragedy in Khatyn and the victims of the genocide of the Belarusian people with a minute of silence and laid flowers at the memorial.
