Lyenina, Mogilev region

Lyenina or Lenino (Belarusian: Леніна, romanized: Lienina; Russian: Ленино) is an agrotown in Horki District, Mogilev Region, Belarus.

Administratively part of the Mścisław Voivodeship, it was a private property of the mighty Radziwiłł family.

However, as he declined to sign an oath of loyalty to empress Catherine II of Russia, the village was confiscated and donated to a Russian family of Dondukov-Korsakov in 1774.

Local police guarded the ghetto, which was surrounded by barbed wire on one side and enclosed by a river and a swamp on the other.

On June 12, 1942, the Germans and local police shot all of them in pits that had been prepared 2 kilometers to the East of the village.
