- 2005 December 9, Славамір Адамовіч, “Забытая радня”, in Naša Niva[1], archived from the original on 7 April 2025:
- Дарэчы, мая трэцяя кватэра знаходзіцца ў цэнтры гораду, мэтраў за 300 ад турмы. Пазнаць астрог можна па калючай агароджы, сам жа двухпавярховы цагляны будынак падобны, хутчэй, на дыхтоўную школку ці дом адпачынку.
- Darečy, maja trecjaja kvatera znaxódzicca ŭ centry hóradu, metraŭ za 300 ad turmy. Paznacʹ astróh móžna pa kaljučaj aharódžy, sam ža dvuxpavjarxóvy cahljany budynak padóbny, xutčej, na dyxtóŭnuju škólku ci dom adpačynku.
- By the way, my third apartment is located in the city center, about 300 meters from the prison. It's possible to recognize the prison by its barbed wire fence, though the two-story brick building itself resembles more of a well-built school or a holiday home.
- (historical) ostrog, stockaded town
