A masked nationalist holds Polish flags during the nationalists organised a commemorative march of the Cursed Soldiers (Zolnierze Wykleci) in the city of Hajnowka next to the Belarusian border. The Cursed Soldiers also known as the Doomed Soldiers were anti-communist resistant fighters after WWII, however they were also famous of committing crimes against civilians, mostly ethnic Belarusians. One of the most controversial historical figure was Romulad "Bury" Rajs, an officer who killed dozens of civilians between 1944-46 and is commemorated by the nationalists.
