Communist Republic of Belarus

Radical Communist Militia of the Ostland

In the dense forests, swamps, and devastated villages of the Ostland, far from the Reich’s main military routes, operates an atypical and deeply ideological insurgent organization: the Belarus Communist Republic (BCR). Unlike other Slavic guerrilla movements, its struggle is not centered on national liberation, but on the total refoundation of the state under a renewed, harsh, and doctrinaire form of communism.

Origins

The BCR emerged between 1943 and 1944, following the destruction of classical Soviet authority and the complete German occupation of Belarus. Its ranks are composed of:

• Former local communist cadres
• Surviving political commissars
• Peasants radicalized by the occupation
• Young militants trained entirely in clandestinity, with no positive memory of the old Soviet regime

For them, the USSR was defeated not only by Germany, but by its own corruption, bureaucracy, and ideological betrayal.

Ideology

The Belarus Communist Republic upholds an extremely rigid doctrine:

• Rejection of both the Reich and classical Stalinism
• Denial of Belarusian nationalism as a vehicle of liberation
• The goal is not independence, but the creation of a new, purified, and self-sufficient communist state

Its internal slogan is explicit:

“Not to liberate Belarus, but to remake it.”

This approach isolates the BCR even from other insurgent groups, whom they regard as:

• “Petty-bourgeois nationalists”
• “Decadent remnants of the old order”
• “Covert collaborators”

Structure

The BCR does not function as a conventional guerrilla force. It is organized as a clandestine proto-state, featuring:

• Local committees
• Mobile revolutionary tribunals
• Clandestine agricultural production cells
• Improvised ideological schools in hidden villages

Each armed unit includes a political commissar with absolute authority, even above the military commander.

Military Activity

Militarily, the BCR operates in a selective and restrained manner:

• Attacks against Reich civil administrators
• Elimination of local collaborators
• Sabotage of agricultural and logistical infrastructure
• Public executions of ideological deserters

They avoid large-scale engagements. Their priority is to survive, indoctrinate, and endure.

Relations with Other Groups

The BCR is almost completely isolated:

• It refuses cooperation with Belarusian nationalists
• It despises guerrillas supported from abroad
• It maintains hostile relations even with less radical communist groups

This isolation keeps them small in number, but extremely cohesive.

Relations with External Powers

They receive no direct support from any major power. Berlin considers them dangerous but secondary. Washington has little reliable information about them.

Paradoxically, the BCR views this isolation as a virtue:

“A communism that depends on others is already defeated.”

Situation in 1946

By 1946, the Belarus Communist Republic does not control open territory, but exists in invisible layers: villages, forests, and human networks. It is not an immediate threat to the Reich, but rather a persistent ideological virus, impossible to eradicate through military force alone.

They do not fight for the past.
They do not fight for the nation.
They fight for a Belarus that does not yet exist.
