As part of the investigation by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Belarus into the criminal case concerning the genocide of the Belarusian people during the Great Patriotic War and the post-war period, on October 3 and 9, 2025, staff members and first-year students of VSMU visited a mass burial site—an unmarked grave with the remains of several hundred murdered civilians—in a forest area approximately 3 km from Polotsk.

Participants laid flowers and paid tribute to the victims' memory.

Igor Vladimirovich Metelitsa, Deputy Head of the Department for Supervision of Legislation Implementation in the Military, spoke about the progress and results of the investigation, the importance of preserving historical memory, and ensuring the ideological continuity of generations.
