March 22, 1943 – the small Belarusian village of Khatyn with 149 residents including 75 children was burnt by the Nazi. In 1969, on ruins Khatyn’s WWII Memorial was opened to honor the names of all the Belarusian villages. In tote, over 150 villages shared Khatyn’s fate.

Glory Mound is an imposing monument located at top of the artificial hill. It was built in honor of the Soviet Army which liberated Belarus from the German Nazi invaders in 1944. The soil from the nine "Hero Cities" of the former Soviet Union and from the battlegrounds of World War II was brought handful by handful to be piled into a mound. It’s a distinctive landmark on the airport highway.
