A Patriotic Anti-Communist Belarusian song about the Slutsk Uprising Led by Paval Zhauryd in 1920. The Slutsk defence action or the Slutsk uprising (Belarusian: Слуцкі збройны чын or Слуцкае паўстанне) was an unsuccessful armed attempt to establish an independent Belarus. It took place in late 1920, near the end of the Polish-Soviet War, in the region of the town of Slutsk. It involved a series of clashes between irregular Belarusian forces loyal to the Belarusian People's Republic and the Soviet Red Army, ending in a Soviet victory.
