During the Great Patriotic war, the partisans of the western regions of the BSSR made a significant contribution to the defeat of the enemy and the approach of victory over him. In a number of works of the soviet and post-soviet period devoted to the struggle in the occupied territory of Belarus, you can find data on the creation of groups of "people's avengers", their fighting, relations with the local population, and life. However, the theme of partisan raids from the central and eastern regions to the territory of the western regions of the BSSR during the Great Patriotic war remains not sufficiently sanctified. Meanwhile, this relocation of a number of detachments and brigades greatly increased the attacks on the enemy in this region and played a role in freeing it from the invaders. The article discusses the history of the of the largest number of participants guerrilla formation raid under the command of F. F. Kapusta in 1943 on the territory of the Bialystok region and its importance in intensifying the struggle against the invaders in Western Belarus.
