Born in the manychildren family of the Orthodox priest Aliaksandar Lapicki. The children of the Lapicki were familiar with the patriotic literature printed in the western part of Belarus, kept ties with Belarusian gymnasia in Vilnia. During the World War II the father with the wife and the youngest son Rascislau (the older sons and the daughter already lived on their own) moved to the Miadziel region, where he got a parish in Kabylnik. After the Germans were turned out from Belarus in the beginning of autumn 1944 Rascislah went to study to the newly opened Kabylnik sevenyear school. At the same time he joined the underground patriotic organization of the Belarusian youth of Vilnia and Vilnia region with the help of the elder brother Alieh Lapicki, the student of the Vilnia theological seminary. After the organization was revealed and many of its members arrested, 16yearold Rascislau was sentenced as well to the 3years’ imprisonment as the underage. However according to the amnesty dedicated to the victory over the fascist Germany in 1945 he was released from prison and returned to Kabylnik, where continued his school education. After his father’s death in 1946 the abandoned family the mother and the son in winter 1947 moved to Mikasiecak near Miadziel, where Rascislau tried to find a job at the local church. He went from Mikasiecak to the 8th and 9th form of the Miadziel tenyear school.
Rascislau was a unique person, showered with numerous talents, with generous and kind soul open to the pain of others. He was good at painting, singing and played many different musical instruments. He had abilities for constructing and inventing made receivers, designed “electric machine” to cure the patients, wooden bicycle, could make
137
explosive device. While in Kabylnik and especially in the Miadziel school, Rascislau Lapicki was notable for his anticommunist and patriotic sentiments. He didn’t hide his thoughts and beliefs, defended them with the ardor of the youth even at lessons.
Among the Miadziel pupils Rascislau found likeminded people, who did not accept the communist regime that was established in Belarus. First of all those were Fakunda Niesciarovic from Juskavicy and Juzik Kacerha from Kacarhi. They often met in Miadziel where the pupils lived or in Mikasiecak in the Lapicki’s apartment or in the house of a local villager. At the beginning of 1948 the underground organization was founded on the initiative of Rascislau, which was mainly engaged in printing and distributing of the anticommunist leaflets.
In autumn 1949 Rascislad with mother moved to Smarhon to his relatives. In Smarhon Rascislau went to the 10th form of the local school. And here he immediately started looking for friends those, who were not indifferent to the destiny of the fatherland. The agitation started during the school recessions, parties at the club, where Rascislau earned by playing the piano. About a dozen of likeminded people gathered.
The Smarhon members of the underground launched wide anticommunist leaflet campaign. However at the beginning of December Rascislau Lapicki was arrested and then released temporarily. The council of the underground organization declared that Lapicki had to leave Smarhon. And he secretly returned to the Miadziel region again. Some time he spent in Mikasiecak, Juskavicy, Kacarhi. Then with a severe cold he moved to the acquaintances in Kabylnik. Here his brotherinarms from Smarhon Caslati Cybouski found him and delivered him the proposal of the partisans of the Home Army to carry him over the border. However the severely ill Rascislaft didn’t manage to take that opportunity. He was arrested again in Kabylnik. Before the trial he was kept in the prisons of Vialiejka and Maladziecna, where at the interrogations he was violently tortured.
The trial on Rascisl ай Lapicki and the majority of the participants of the MiadzielSmarhon underground was held in Maladziecna in July 1950. The organization’s leader behaved courageously and undefeatedly, admitted all the guilt. He declared to communists that they
138
forced people to enter kolhozes, overtaxed them, severely punished them for any protest, closed churches. The accused did not justified himself but blamed the communist regime. The Military Tribunal of the Belarusian military district sentenced Rascislad Lapicki to be shot. The patriot accepted that verdict courageously and refused categorically to appeal for pardon.
