2005 December 9, Славамір Адамовіч, “Забытая радня”, in Naša Niva, 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.
