the torture was great when he was sitting in the bogchesarai concentration camp, they buried him alive, they pushed him full of earth, his legs were tied to his chest, his arms were tied back, and two more accomplices with him, they covered him with earth , they piled a stone on top, they arrested lydia revyakina and also threw him in the dungeons of the gestop. she was pregnant, but it didn’t save her, it didn’t stop anyone at all, they tried to save the child, that is, to do everything for caesar, but they didn’t have time, and they took her pregnant woman to yukharin balka, and there they shot her pregnant woman, there was a printing house confiscated, it was mid-march 1944, traitor...

vitya senkin - 14 years old, semyon miroshnikov, 15 years old, sixth grade students, best friends, the boys cut the wire.

on the site where the krasny concentration camp was located, archival documents and photographs telling dozens more such stories. the first prisoners of the concentration camp were prisoners of war, those who defended kerch and sevastopol, and gradually, throughout 1941-42, women, old people, children, and those who actually helped the partisans were assigned here. underground worker, during work

the prisoners were driven with whips woven from ox veins; barbed wire was embedded in these whips, so that the suffering of the prisoners would be more terrible. most often, this is hard , useless work that depletes their strength, humiliates their dignity, and often leads to death. there is a mention that the prisoners are in a concentration camp on the territory of a former state farm. the reds were one of the first on whom gazenwagens were tested; the executions were carried out a little further from the camp, so that those who remained would not guess what their fate would be. expected in the near future. in april 1944, when the places of massacres were revealed, holes were dug, ditches dug by the prisoners themselves shortly before the massacres were carried out on them, it became... clear that in a number of cases, in

the depths of this well, in the depths of other places of massacres, people were mutilated, crippled, but still alive, and after that, when the reprisals were completed, the regiments left here, and the earth moved, breathed groans, the dying sighs of those who found themselves there in the depths. on the very night when the camp was liberated, a few days earlier in massacres were carried out in the concentration camp, everyone was gripped by some kind of terrible inhuman excitement, they seemed to compete with each other in the atrocities that were committed against the prisoners of this concentration camp. in the footage of front-line correspondent ivan zaporozhsky.

events related to the activities of the state commission to investigate the atrocities of the fascists and their accomplices are captured, we see how here... crimeans come to the territory of the concentration camp, to the territory of the former collective farm krasny, identifying the bodies of their relatives, in the seventies three trials took place, during which the dock included some of those who served as guards of this concentration camp and took a direct part in the reprisals against the mouthmen, there were 12 people on the dock, in three cases...

it took place within the walls of ancient khersanes over a two-thousand-year history cities. in june forty -two, the enemy begins the third assault on sevastopol. thousands of bomb shells rained down on the city.

german aircraft were constantly circling in the air. at the end of june forty-two , we would no longer be able to do this with you. stand calmly, in a minute a mine or shell would fly here. in sevastopol there was focal resistance and... khersanez was one of such focal points, the wounded who were not evacuated remained here, since the khersanez museum during the days of the third assault on sevastopol served as a place where treatment took place, in the basement of the museum, in the corridors of the museum, in the vladimir cathedral there were the beds on which the wounded were treated, those who could not be evacuated from here already understood their fate, so most likely they gave their last here. battle, battle was going on here for several hours, dozens of mortar shells and shells fell on the territory of the settlement. the most valuable exhibits from the ancient and byzantine collections were brought to sverdlovsk, in order to transport 8 tons of museum

valuables, first by sea and then by rail, it took about 3 months, then what could not be brought out was looked after by the museum caretaker alexander. on the same day, july 1 , alexander kuzmich takhtai, the caretaker of the museum alexander privalenka, were taken to concentration camps, they were absent for more than a month, their lives were on the line, as they say, they took a lot of risks, they were tested for partisan capability, as takhtay notes when takhtay was captured. the germans were in charge here, the remaining collections in the storage facilities were plundered, on august 16 , 1942, they were returned back, they had to cooperate with the interior headquarters crimea, this is the structure supervised by alfred

rosenberg. museum premises at this time are used in different ways, some house the headquarters, as, for example, in the building of ancient history, on the first basement... floor of the vladimir cathedral are located repair shops, where cars are repaired and at the same time they store mines. our archive contains several photographs indicating that the conquerors prepared gifts for erich von manstein, commander of the eleventh army, in the form of part of the exhibits of the ancient exhibition , a shell box in which. packed with a relief depicting a griffin, on another acroteria, which once crowned one of the main temples of hersanes, in large letters in german it is written withdrawn, to the conqueror of the crimea, erich von manstein, commander of the eleventh army,

the germans were dropping leaflets, and the leaflets had this poem, so i’ve been on him since childhood... by outward appearance, his hair is fluttering, dark, and i have an older brother, he

was also black, his hair was also curly, they threw him into that a bunch, where are the yudas, there weren’t many of them, there were three families, probably there, and he cried that mom, that’s it, mom rushed to the german, that it was my son, he grabbed him and moved it in our direction, not far from places where it’s more...

some clothes for them, the germans detained us twice, i started crying, and my mother told the germans i explained that i was lost, and my mother found me, and we were going home. 2 days before the liberation of sevastopol, residents were gathered in one place, they began to load groups on board self-propelled barges, which were supposed to deliver them to labor camps in germany, eight ships had already set sail from the shore, the last one remained.

they threw things that we took with us, i just remember that i had a kettle in my hands, i never threw it, they ran with the kettle, oh, there is such joy in my soul that we did not end up in germany, the germans left sevastopol, taking on warships, they will use equipment, weapons, women and children as human shields, iraida ivanovna and her mother ended up on one of these ships, we weren’t sitting in the holds, but we were lying down, they put us down like that, and here we are...

in germany they went through four labor camps, iron wire, the beam of a lamppost, mortal fatigue from hard labor, this is what... what you are entrusted with and what you do everything there, well, 30 families survived there, not only three, but

if they were probably like 3 years old, people were 4 they would have survived years in the camp on venoshna, a happy childhood for the aeroida would begin at the end of forty-fifth, when all three of them returned to their native sevastopol, we made our way through the rubble, through a pile of ashes and stones, and it seemed to us that these were wounds on the heart of my homeland, pictures horror, fear remained in my memory, in the southern bay at the pier, the lights of warships , why? from those paths, from those frosted lights, haze seemed like a cobweb in the ranks of steel heroes, you understand, this was the return, the whole country was waiting liberation of crimea, it was a very

tense moment, because crimea and sevastopol, as they say, are the heart of the navy. black sea fleet, so it was very important for the whole country and of course for us, because dad was specifically involved in the liberation of crimea and sevastopol, we were very worried about him and were very thirsty for victory. for thirty-nine-year-old sergei biryuzov, this was the second front-line operation, like the donetsk one, the crimean liberation operation will go down in history as a turning point. he wrote in his memoirs that the more carefully. the operation was worked, that is, so thoroughly that it was possible to know where which unit is located, who is supporting whom when it goes into action, then the fewer losses there will be, and one of these finds, or something like dad’s, well, not exactly finds, he repeated the maneuver frunze, when they

were advancing on the crimea, they did not go to dig, they went to sevash. and the germans did not expect anything there and, having crossed all yours, ours entered and went to the germans and that is, they created a very difficult situation for the germans and it was, so to speak , an opportunity for us to develop a broad offensive front. the representative of the headquarters in the southern front was vasilevsky, who, so to speak, watched how everything was happening, when the dominant height was occupied, dad said: the whole country learned the news about the successful completion of the crimean offensive operation

on may 9, 1944, a year before the great victory . on the same day that nine-year-old olya biryuzova celebrated her birthday. the next morning, mom received a call from the general headquarters and was invited to talk with dad. we came with dad, talked, he said: “daughter, i know that you are having a day birthday yesterday, but i can’t give you flowers, i’m giving you sevastopol.” i was little, of course, but i was proud that they took sevastopol, that there were fireworks and that dad was involved in this, in this big deal, in this big thing, a big victory, then, therefore, of course, there was a lot of pride. we have one photograph here, a very good one, where three generals, dad, are in crimea, they are so fighting, they are discussing something, they celebrated the liberation of crimea, the operation took place. everything is very successful, as vasilevsky estimates and

historians say that this was one of the most striking successful operations, we called this photograph. crimea. and these are photographs taken by the legendary front-line photojournalist evgeniy khaldei. he ended up in sevastopol immediately after his release. and in general, he photographed sevastopol from above, where the destruction is simply visible.

here he stands, here are the happy ones, this is the sevastopol embankment, these are two nautical flags that he just borrowed from somewhere, on one of the cruisers, then we can see that he climbed onto some destroyed building , here this is a sign of victory, this sailor who is walking ahead, it is clear that he is a winner, they, of course, have a lot of experience behind them and... troubles and grief and defeats, here is victory, here are the winners, the real ones, in the background terrible, destructive consequences of the fascist bombings, life again, these bright boys on the stones, just on the destroyed buildings, and the children who came with

the teacher are doing exercises at the monument to the lost ships, you know, so much light has appeared, it’s amazing, although all around, of course there was devastation, this shot, life again, where beautiful girls and guys sunbathe. against the background, of course, of destroyed buildings, but then a moment appeared, everyone came at once, and umbrellas were found, swimsuits and happy faces, somehow people, but i can say that this photograph lay in the archive for 50 years, it is not could be in demand, not a single exhibition in the soviet union accepted it, since the ideology was generally such that even after the war it was impossible to show that in... suddenly the military events had not yet ended, there was such an idyll, some kind of in general, you know, it was considered frivolous, but so people tried

to establish themselves in the fact that they survived, that they are happy, that there is a free city, that we can now afford to imprison the guys, they are not afraid of planes, or explosions, anything, in general, you look, children who also survived. hell is real, they found the strength to smile, now we have arrived, yes, the station, destroyed, ruins, everything, but the fact that we are free, and the fact that we are not in the camp and the fact that there remains a feeling of happiness that we survived, hungry, not hungry, this is what’s left forever, the end of the war. the war is everything, we became adults very early, we were 6,

7, 8, 9 years old, we already knew by the sound where the bomb was falling, where it was falling, how it was flying by the sound, where the shell was, either to run or to lie down, sounds of alarm, sounds of explosions, my frame flew out, when the last one was so strong this rocket... i slept anxiously, anxiously, pitifully, madly, and children, and destroyed cities, now all this reminds me of war, here i’m already at such an old age, the blast wave went through my head and legs, and somehow i suddenly suddenly, well, i’m not afraid of anything, we saw so many dead, we stepped over them, we stepped over our dead... dead germans and it was in the trenches that they were buried here and under the trees they buried ours and germans. the inner feeling, you know, we

are not afraid of anything, there are 547 of us left, out of 1,800 children, when there are training exercises, when there are raids by the ukrainian armed forces, that is... we are not afraid, no one is afraid, no one leaves their apartments, our sevastopol land is dear to us, soaked in the blood of our ancestors, and we will never, never let us fall for the tricks of the fascists, never, we will take care of our native sevastopol, our native sevastopol land. a sevastopol resident is a special kind of person, you see, he was brought up on, well, no matter how pretentious it sounds, nevertheless, he was brought up by this history, this is

the land itself, which has been abundantly watered with blood, over the 240 years of its existence, so it has, as it were, given water to drink. those who defended sevastopol with their strength, she gave this strength to those who liberated sevastopol in 1944, it remains with those who now live in sevastopol. victory day is celebrated in russia; the main parade took place today, according to tradition, on red square, with over 9 people, more than a thousand

important, truly national, sacred holiday, we honor our fathers and grandfathers, great-grandfathers, they defended their native land and crushed nazism. today we see how they are trying to distort the truth about world war ii. it interferes with those who are accustomed to base their essentially colonial policy on hypocrisy and lies. they tear down memorials. hitlerites. revanchism, a mockery of history, the desire to justify the current followers of the nazis, this is part of the general policy of the western elites to incite ever new regional conflicts, interethnic and interreligious hostility, to contain the sovereign, independent centers of the world

development. globally. claims of exclusivity from anyone will not be tolerated. a global collision is not a solution, but we will not allow anyone to be threatened, vladimir putin added. he is listened attentively by those who share their position with the veterans in the stands - the leaders of belarus, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, tajikistan, uzbekistan, turkmenistan, cuba, laos and guinea bissau. russia is now going through a difficult, transitional period. the homeland, its future, depends on each of us. we celebrate victory day in the context of a special military operations. all its participants, those who are on the front line, on the line of combat contact, are our heroes. we bow our heads to the veterans of the great patriotic war who have left us, to the memory of civilians who died from barbaric shelling and terrorist attacks by neo-nazis, to our combatants.
