Rudaki [ruˈdaki] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Krynki, within Sokółka County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland, close to the border with Belarus.
During the German occupation, the village was located in the Sokólski Poviat (Landkreis Sokolka) in the Białystok District (Bezirk Bialystok).
In the summer of 1944, on the west bank of Świsłocz, on the hills surrounding Rudaki, the Germans organized fortifications that were interrupted by the Red Army on July 21–22, 1944.
Unfortunately, the graves (cemetery), where the inhabitants of Rudaki buried their dead for centuries, remained in Hołynka, on the Soviet side.
For some time, funerals were organized in old, dating back to the First World War, graves located in the nearby hills, on plot no.
