Nalibaki or Naliboki (Belarusian: Налібакі; Russian: Налибоки; Polish: Naliboki) is an agrotown in Stowbtsy District, Minsk Region, Belarus.[1] It serves as the administrative center of Nalibaki selsoviet.[2]
During the times of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, since 1555[3] the settlement belonged to the family of the Radziwiłł magnates. Eventually it has grown into a miasteczko. Since 1722 it was the home of a glass factory founded by Anna Radziwiłł, closed in 1862.
After the Second Partition of Poland, since 1793 it belonged to the Russian Empire. In 1896 it was part of Vilna Governorate, Russian Empire.[3]
In 1919 a battle of the Polish-Soviet war occurred nearby.
Nalibaki was part of the Second Polish Republic throughout the interwar period, in,, Nowogródek Voivodeship.
Following the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland, it was annexed to Byelorussian SSR of the Soviet Union. During World War II, the Jewish population of Nalibaki was massacred by the Germans, with some escaping and joining the Soviet partisans, while 129 Poles were massacred by Soviet partisans on May 9, 1943 (see the Nalibaki massacre).[4]
On August 6, 1943, Naliboki was pacified again, this time by German troops, as part of the so-called 'Operation Hermann', and its inhabitants were deported deep into the Reich for forced labor.[5]
