STABILIZATION OF THE DOMESTIC SITUATION IN THE USSR IN THE POST-WAR PERIOD: NEUTRALIZATION OF TERRORISM MANIFESTATIONS IN THE TERRITORY OF THE BYELORUSSIAN SSR

Abstract

The Second World War is one the most important events in the world history. During the first years after liberation from Nazi invaders the Soviet state and society were developing under complicated circumstances. The author shows that numerous groups of anti-Soviet armed underground in the Red Army's rear at the final stage of the Great Patriotic War were a factor, which hampered Soviet troops advance actions . Under conditions of the Cold War the terroristic activity of anti-Soviet armed underground groups significantly destabilized the situation in the western regions of the Soviet state. The author supposes that neutralization of anti-Soviet armed underground in the western territories of the USSR that took more than a decade eventually contributed to the stabilization of the domestic situation in the country.
