According to information gathered by the Lo Tishkakh Foundation in the summer of 1941 a group of about 30 Jews who were taken by truck from the village of Lysyanka to the town of Petrovskiy (Gorodishche) were unloaded on the western outskirts of Pochapintsy village, about 6.5 kilometers east of Lysyanka, and shot dead in the nearby forest at the Bordyugovo Tract. The identity of the perpetrators of this massacre is not known. In late 1941 and in 1942 groups of several dozen Jews from the village of Lysyanka and from Lysyanka County, and also inmates of the Budishche labor camp considered unfit to work, together with Roma and non-Jewish Communist Party activists and functionaries of the Soviet government, were taken to the Bordyugovo Tract, a large forest area about 6 kilometers east of Lysyanka, close to Pochapintsy village, and shot dead at a well and at an animal burial pit by members of the German Security and Order Police, assisted by local auxiliary policemen. The total number of Jews shot in the Bordyugovo Forest is estimated at between 300 (according to the inscription on the monument at the murder site) and 400 (according to police records cited by the Lo Tishkakh Foundation).
