West Belarus
Since 1920 Kharuzhaya actively participated in the subversive anti-Polish campaign led by the Comintern. After graduating from the senior communist party school in the Soviet Union, in February 1924 she was secretly deployed across the border to the Second Polish Republic. While in eastern Poland (present-day West Belarus), she was appointed member of the Central Committee of the Komsomol of West Belarus and printed illegal Belarusian communist papers.
