History. Belarus: A Land Unbroken

35:31

Belarus was under Nazi occupation for three years. The Nazis killed people of all nationalities through punitive operations, ghettos, and encircling concentration camps. During the Great Patriotic War, one in every three people in Belarus died. But the people of the Soviet Union endured all the horrors of war and never lost faith in victory. The resistance movement in Belarus was one of the largest. Even children and teenagers joined the partisans to fight for their homeland. The occupation ended in 1944, when the Red Army, together with the partisans, launched Operation Bagration — the largest military operation in history. Thanks to their combined efforts, Belarus was liberated.

Добавить в избранное Nature & Travel. Ghost lake 26:59 At the beginning of the 20th century, the Aral Sea was twice the size of Lake Baikal. Now, a desert stands in its place. This saltwater lake was fed by the largest rivers in Central Asia. But since the 1960s, the waters of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers were redirected for irrigation. As a result, the Aral Sea began to shrink rapidly. Without a new influx of water, the salt concentration increased dramatically. All the fish perished. The lake's shrinkage exacerbated droughts and caused salty dust storms. The lack of quality water led to widespread illness among the local people, and child mortality rates soared. Is it possible to save the Aral Sea today?

This is the most common question from adopted children from Donetsk and Lugansk. Kolya, Tolya, and Vova are three brothers who lived in Krasny Luch, in the Lugansk People's Republic. Their father was killed, and their mother fell into alcoholism. Vova, the oldest, has always protected his brothers. Now, he rushes to shield their foster mom when a car drives by. Even in suburban Moscow, the children still don't trust their safety. Other foster parents share similar stories. Often, parents must teach adopted children basic skills—like going to the store or helping at home. Children can't tie their shoelaces but recognize artillery by sound.
