During the Great Patriotic War, Begoml was occupied from its very first days, in July 1941. Like the whole of Belarus, the Begoml region suffered heavy losses during those times: the Nazis burned more than 100 villages, more than 20 thousand inhabitants of the region died. A Jewish ghetto was organized in Begomla. Local residents put up tough resistance to the invaders: a real partisan war broke out in the area, more than 3 thousand people took part in military operations as part of military units and partisan detachments. Thanks to these efforts, already at the end of 1942, the area was actually controlled by partisans, and the liberation of the area from the occupiers took place in July 1942.
In 1960, Begoml entered the Dokshitsy region.
