BELARUSIAN INTELLECTUALS PROTEST ROAD CONSTRUCTION AT STALIN-ERA MASSACRE SITE.Some 40 Belarusian intellectuals and prominent public figures have demanded that the Minsk City authorities stop the road construction work at Kurapaty, a site outside Minsk where tens of thousands were executed and buried by the NKVD in the 1930s (see "RFE/RL Newsline, 26 September 2001), Belapan reported on 29 September. They said in a statement that a government commission in 1989 confirmed that Kurapaty is a burial ground of thousands of victims of the NKVD, and is now listed as a Belarusian historical and cultural heritage site. The authors of the statement consider the ongoing expansion of the Minsk beltway to be a direct threat to Kurapaty. They want the authorities to suspend the construction work, carry out additional archeological excavations at the site, publish the full results of the previous investigation, and turn the area into a memorial.
