  • I'm back in #Belarus so resident historian, Dr. Ihar Melnikau returns for an epic provincial trip to the villages surrounding the city of #Baranovichi in Brest Oblast, where we explore and retrace the events of the Battle of Baranovichi which took place in July 1916 on the Eastern Front during #ww1 between the armies of Russia, Austria-Hungary and Germany.

    You may check with the historian but from I remember from school, these battles were fought between country men, local men, who had been forcibly drafted into either German or Russian armies, Poles against Poles, etc.

    Thanks for your video. You may visit Lesnaya near Baranovichi to learn more about 2nd WW history. I think you'll like it. Also, we had nuclear weapon there at times of Soviet Union.

      Most of them are but others not so. I hope our work will be helpful in not only preserving our past and raising awareness for future generations, but also educating them as well.

    To bad you didn’t bring a metal detector with you. It would be interesting to see what could be found around the pill boxes. Interesting video. Thanks for posting.

      You need a permit for one of those but yeah, it would be interesting. Many of these sites still have WW1 artifacts lying around. On our last visit, we found wine bottles and a kettle.

    It's strange to me that the government doesn't preserve these places. Or maybe it's for the best that you get to see nature take back what was once a scene of death and war... either way, really interesting stuff!
