Today in Labor History March 22, 1943: The Nazi-affiliated Schutzmannschaft Battalion burnt alive everyone from the village of Khatyn, Belarus, near Minsk. They did it in retaliation for an attack on German troops by Soviet partisans. Himmler created Schutzmannschaft police units in 1941. By 1942, they had over 300,000 members. They slaughtered Jews throughout the Baltics, Ukraine and Belarus. They also served as guards at forced labor camps. In total, Nazis and Nazi collaborators slaughtered over 2 million people just in Belarus during the three years of Nazi occupation. This was nearly 25% of the entire population. Of these, 800,000 were Jews, or about 90% of the Jewish population.

Latvia will impose new restrictions at its border checkpoints with Russia and Belarus, allowing only motor vehicles.

Latvia's border guard service reports that they have observed “organized groups” of migrants attempting to arrive at the border stations.

A surreal video circulating now on social media where a guy standing on the #Belarus border of #Poland says “I want to go to Poland, but they won’t let us”.

As anyone can find online on https://migracje.gov.pl in 2025 alone almost ~1000 people migrated legally to Poland from #Pakistan, ~2000 from #Afghanistan, ~1000 from #Syria etc.

This is just Poland alone (!), so the process does work, the “fortress Europe” is a myth. But this particular guy decided it’s absolutely necessary for him to buy air tickets and visa to Belarus, and then march through the heavily guarded border zone in Belarus only to try to storm the border fence on Polish border? What’s the point?

Well, the whole point is hidden in the small print at the bottom of the video - GPK is Belarus border force, who participates in a coordinated human smuggling business. This video is literally an advertising video of state-sponsored human smugglers who are trying to force another country to accept their customers, thus making their business even more efficient and profitable.

A still frame from the video with a man with brown skin and beard standing on the right side of a border fence with others and speaking to the camera. The left side is separate by a fence behind which there are Polish border guards.
