Kazei joined the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of October Partisan Detachment in November 1942 and then became a reconnaissance scout on the staff of the K. K. Rokossovskii Partisan Brigade. Surrounded by fascists on a reconnaissance mission, he killed himself with a grenade. Kazei was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War First Class and the medals For Bravery and For Combat Service. A monument to Kazai was erected in Minsk in 1958 with money collected by Byelorussian Pioneers.
