		It was both anti-Nazi and anti-Soviet; the latter attitude stemmed from the memories of Soviet terror between 1939 and 1941, and was reinforced by the conduct of the Soviet partisans.

		Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II The tragedy that Belarusian people have undergone during World War II is so deep that even today this topic is embedded in everyday surrounding and culture of Belarusians.
		The partisan movement was so overwhelming that in 1943-44 there were large regions in occupied Belarus, where Soviet rule was established deep inside the German occupation territory.
		In Soviet Belarusian culture, it was one of the manifestations of conformism, a substitute for open dissent, upon which nobody among the front-rank figures of Belarusian culture ventured.

		The partisans sat in their cramped, cold, and wet bunkers in the forests awaiting this aid, fearing the NKVD at every turn only to be “liberated” by insufficiently armed partisans who had been trained in the West and were all captured, deceived, or killed within two years of their arrivals.
		Under the Soviets, religion was stifled with the closings of two seminaries in 1946, and the imposition of a maximum quota of 150 seminarians, with approximately 200 being dismissed.77 This greatly affected the partisans, who were deeply religious.

	Axis History Forum :: View topic - The Soviet Partisan Movement 1941-1944
		The Soviet Partisan Movement which was established in the wake of the German armies invading the USSR in 1941 was, in both conception and scope, the greatest irregular resistance movement in the history of warfare.
		The operations of the partisans in the rear of the Eighteenth Army during January and February 1944 were something else again and exercised a very definite influence on the course of the battles along that portion of the front.
		The Soviet offensive could hardly have failed to succeed, with or without the efforts of the partisans, because of the overwhelming superiority of the Red Army units and the thinness of the German line and its lack of reserves.

	German Rear-area Security in WWII
		In the Baltic States between 1940 and 1941, the Soviets (Russians) were the occupation forces and the natives of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania became the partisans.
		While Soviet partisan efforts were indeed causing great damage to German rear area interests, somehow the Germans were usually able keep the supply lines to the front lines rolling.
		The Soviet question to this overall problem was exactly the opposite of that of the Germans - which means of disruption will effect the most optimal disruption results (for any period of time) to the Germans, and whereby the disruption effort will have a direct impact on the troops fighting on the front lines.

		In December 1942 130,000 Soviet Partisans had be organised and were active behind enemy line and controlled large tracks of land in the German occupied zones, though mainly north of the Ukraine in central Russia where the dense northern forests offered the cover and protection they needed.
		The main goal of the Soviet Partisans was not to defeat the Germans security forces in detail, but to simply interrupt supply and communication, disrupt troop movements and generally force the Germans to commit more forces to controlling them, and hence taking troops and resources away from the frontline.
		Their brutality and barbarity did little to stop the Partisans, and may have done more to swell the Partisan ranks and ensure Partisan retaliation against Germans and collaborators could be equally as brutal.

		Partisan ranks swelled to over a half million people by late 1943, concentrated in the Belorussian forests near the Polish border, but strong as well in Ukraine and in enemy-held Russian territory.
		Reintegrating the older partisan survivors, who were accustomed to autonomy and had a tremendous sense of their own worth, back into the Soviet system was not easy.
		Newer recruits merged easily into the Soviet Army as their territory was liberated, but the older partisans, who remembered a period when they seemed abandoned by the Soviet state, did not always.

		If The Soviet Partisan Movement, 1941-1944 is studied in connection with operational studies of the war on the east European front during World War II, it should prove to be of great value to students of that conflict.
		It is not a study in partisan tactics, nor is it intended to be.
		German measures taken to combat the partisan movement are sketched in, but the story in large part remains that of an organization and how it operated.

		Kononov, a former Soviet partisan leader, was held accountable for the deaths of nine civilians in the village of Mazie Bati, on 27 May 1944.
		The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a harsh response to the Kononov verdict, calling it "a total lack of respect for the letter and spirit of the Nuremberg trials." Moscow has followed this case closely, as it is the first such case involving a former Soviet partisan leader.

	German Anti-Partisan Operations in the Russian Theater During WW II
		The German District Commander assigned the task of destroying the partisan forces to a bicycle-mounted infantry battalion temporarily withdrawn from the front and reassigned to his sector to conduct anti-partisan operations. Once he had received his mission and conducted his planning, the Battalion Commander issued his operations order to his battalion.
		Additionally, the losses the German army had suffered in the previous year had destroyed the concept of German invincibility that the successful blitzkrieg in 1941 had installed in many Soviet soldiers and citizens.
		Therefore, by 1943, German attempts at surprising the partisans and forcing them into a conventional battle was difficult to achieve due to the excellent Russian intelligence network.
