Historian Oleg Khlobustov will give a lecture on the crimes of the Nazi regime against civilians and prisoners of war in the occupied territories of the USSR. The lecture will discuss the fates of civilians and Soviet prisoners of war, punitive operations, and materials that allow for the reconstruction of the scale and nature of the crimes committed by the Nazi regime and its accomplices. The lecture will focus on specific documentary materials and facts. Listeners will learn how state security agencies collected information about the crimes of the occupiers and why these sources continue to be significant for historians and lawyers. A separate section will be dedicated to the fate of Soviet prisoners of war in death camps. An important part of the discussion concerns the legal qualification of these crimes. The lecturer will trace how their understanding has changed from the Nuremberg Trials to modern judicial and public discussions. Lecturer Oleg Khlobustov is a historian of intelligence services, a member of the Union of Writers of Russia, and a retired colonel of state security.
