In the span of just a few months, the Deputy Speaker of the Supreme Soviet died, followed by unexplained disappearances of the Minister of &nbsp;Interior&nbsp;Affairs, the Deputy Prime Minister, and a respected businessman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Less than a year later, a cameraman of a major television network vanished without a trace. Seemingly unrelated, the cases have remained under separate investigations, with little result and multiple inconsistencies. As the statute of limitations on these cases expires in 2014-2015, a prominent Belarusian human rights defender meticulously examines rare documentary evidence and testimonies of family members, lawyers, and former Belarusian investigators to piece together a nuanced and unsettling picture that links the unsolved disappearances together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The film is an investigation by director Raisa Mikhailovskaya about the bloody activities of Lukashenko\u2019s \u201cDeath Squads\u201d. The authors of the film use documents, archival photos, videos, and interviews with witnesses of those events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sources: <\/strong><br><strong>#<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/VR85uJtizpY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lukashenkos &#8220;Death Squads&#8221;<\/a><\/strong><br><strong>&#8220;The Gang&#8221;.
