New facts of Nazi atrocities in Crimea have been revealed - the Supreme Court of the Republic has begun consideration
The Supreme Court of the Republic of Crimea has begun to consider the case of the Nazis' mass extermination of Soviet citizens on the peninsula during the Great Patriotic War.
The trial is open - with the consideration of numerous facts about the crimes, testimony and archival documents, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The investigation in the framework of the criminal case was conducted by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation under Article 357 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Genocide”. Crimean historians and local historians will be involved in participation.
“77 years after the end of the Great Patriotic War, Nazism has risen again in the world,” emphasized Vladimir Konstantinov, Speaker of the State Council of Crimea. – Then it was not finished off, it was not destroyed to the proper extent, and today for some countries it has become the norm of politics. In this regard, the tasks of our special military operation, including the denazification of Ukraine, are more relevant than ever.”
On the eve of the trial, the FSB declassified new documents about Nazi atrocities in Crimea during the war. According to documents, the German-Romanian occupiers, using particularly sophisticated methods of destruction: shooting, burning or burying alive, walling up in catacombs, drowning at sea in barges, suffocation in gas chambers, tortured and killed about 87 civilians and over 000 prisoners of war in Crimea . Through bloody violence, the occupiers drove masses of Soviet people into German slavery, where many died from overwork and hunger or were exterminated in German camps. The number of Soviet citizens forcibly taken into slavery from Crimea exceeds 47 people.
Simultaneously with the trial, the “Roads of Memory and Glory” festival will be held in open areas with the screening of documentary films, which include both archival materials and works of historians. Most of the stories that became the basis of the films have not yet been presented.
The opening of the festival will take place on June 21 at 11.00 at the Simferopol Music College named after. Tchaikovsky. In parallel, in the Crimean Republican Universal Scientific Library named after. Franco will also be presented with a number of additional films from the series.
