[Regnum] The actions of the Nazis on the territory of the Lugansk People's Republic in 1942–1943 are recognized as genocide. This decision was made by the Supreme Court of the LPR, the press service of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office reported on February 26.

The court satisfied the corresponding application of the regional prosecutor in relation to the identified crimes committed by the Nazis and their accomplices during the occupation in the territory of the former Voroshilovgrad region. The Prosecutor General of Russia Igor Krasnov instructed to prepare the application and send it to the court.

The court was presented with evidence of mass executions, torture, torture of civilians and prisoners of war, as well as the theft and destruction of material and cultural values. The Nazis applied punitive measures to civilians and captured military personnel. In particular, people were kicked out of their homes, their food, clothing and shoes were taken away, and they were used as free labor.

The occupiers destroyed collective farms, state farms, peasant households, plants and factories, mines, railway stations, schools, museums, residential buildings, and destroyed electrical networks.

About 100 thousand people became victims of the occupation regime in Voroshilovsk (now Alchevsk), Sergo (now Stakhanov), Krasny Luch, Pervomaisk, Kirovsk and Bryanka, in the Perevalsky and Popasnyansky districts from mid-July 1942 to early September 1943.

“Of these, 19.3 thousand people were shot, 7.8 thousand were subjected to torture and abuse, more than 71 thousand Soviet citizens were forcibly deported to hard labor in Germany and other European countries, many of whom died or lost contact with relatives.”, the Prosecutor General’s Office clarified.

The court agreed with the arguments of the prosecutor's office and satisfied the stated demands after considering archival documents, photos and videos, witness statements and expert opinions.

As Regnum reported, on January 27, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Nazi Germany fought with the USSR during the Great Patriotic War not because of ideology, but because of the resources and wealth of the Soviet Union.
After all, they were both expansionist, totalitarian, genocidal socialist regimes in a hurry to remake the world in their own image. It’s just that the Nazis were conquering and killing for race, while the Soviets were doing the same — in a less organized manner — putatively for the working class.
At the same time, the Nazis intended to physically destroy the majority of Soviet citizens, and the survivors were being prepared to play the role of slaves, deprived of their native culture, traditions and language, the head of state recalled.
Indeed — the race thing again. The Slavs were assumed not to belong to the Master Race. Amusingly, some Slavs now claim to belong to the white master race alongside the Aryans.
