The memorial complex "Stefanovo" is the "Khatyn" of the Belynichi district, a symbol of the grief that came to these places during the Great Patriotic War.
On July 9, 1941, the entire Belynichi region was occupied by the Germans. During the years of occupation, more than three thousand civilians were burned and shot there. On December 22, 1942, the village of Stefanovo was wiped off the face of the earth. 96 civilians were killed, mostly women and children.
The troops of the 2nd Belorussian Front liberated the territory of the region from the invaders on June 29, 1944. In memory of the terrible events of those years, the Stefanovo memorial complex appeared in 1968. It is located in the southeast of the Belynichi district, 15 km from the Minsk-Mogilev highway.
