Life

Sabaleuski was born in Stoubzy in 1889 . He received a classical Russian education and attended a technical college for four years to work as a surveyor. From 1915 until the end of World War I , he served in the Russian Army . He then fought against the Red Army until the end of the Polish-Soviet War . He fled to Poland , where he became a personal and political rival of Radaslau Astrouski . In February 1926 Sabaleuski joined the workers and peasants party "Hramada". Sabaleuski was active as a member of the Polish Sejm in the first half of the 1920s . In 1928 he and Radaslau Astrouski were arrested by the Polish authorities and released the following year. In September 1939 Sabaleuski was arrested again by the Polish police and later by the NKVD . He was released from prison at the beginning of the Second World War.

Under the German occupation he began to work in civil administration and was mayor of the city of Baranowicze from July 1941 to June 1943 . Research by the FBI in the post-war period shows that Sabaleuski was responsible for countless actions of brutality during his tenure . He worked closely with the Gestapo and was involved in persecuting the city's Jewish and Polish communities. In June 1943 Sabaleuski moved to Minsk to exercise his office as chairman of the Belarusian Self-Help Organization after his predecessor Ivan Yermachenka was deposed on the pretext of personal enrichment. Sabaleuski joined together with Stanislau Stankewitsch and Barys Rahulja the so-called trust council of Commissioner General Wilhelm Kube , of which he became head.

From December 1943 Sabaleuski was, together with Mikalaj Schkjaljonak , Vice-President of the Beloruthenian Central Council . In June 1944 Sabaleuski fled to Germany , where he became President of the Beloruthenian Central Council. He was housed in the Displaced Persons Camp in Michelsdorf in 1947 under the name Alexei Sokolovsky . In 1950 Sabaleuski concluded an agreement with the Ukrainian National Council, which was supposed to coordinate the anti-communist struggle of the two groups.

In July 1950 Sabaleuski emigrated to the United States , where he lived in 334 West 29th Street in New York City . In the fall of 1951, Sabaleuski was questioned by the FBI about his actions during World War II .
