By order of Beria, issued the day before, massacres took place in many places in the Borderlands ( ), and this was related to the aggression of Germany on the USSR. It is estimated that in the executions and "death marches" 20-30 thousand people died - Poles, Jews, Ukrainians, etc. These data are inaccurate, because there are no records of people arrested by the Russians in June 1941. As a result of these events, about 10 thousand of prisoners of war are missing, they were used since September 1939 to do various types of construction works.
