| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] It is important not to forget that among the allies of the Nazis in the genocide of the peoples of the USSR there were also representatives of the Russian emigration, noted the observer of IA REGNUM, Mikhail Demurin on Wednesday, October 20. Earlier, RIA Novosti, citing an official representative of the Prosecutor General's Office, reported that the Russian side had sent requests for legal assistance in the investigation of the genocide of the peoples of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War to the competent authorities of Germany, Canada, Latvia, Poland, the United States and Estonia. Information has already been received on some of the requests. "Speaking about the genocide of the peoples of the USSR by the Nazis and their allies, it is important to never forget that among these allies, among those who supported the very barbaric 'Drang nach Osten' against our Motherland, there were also representatives of the Russian emigration. They, including the elite of the Romanov family and many ROCOR clerics, are also involved in the policy of genocide of our compatriots carried out by the Nazis. Specific war crimes and crimes against humanity, which were investigated immediately after that war and are being investigated today, became possible only due to the general misanthropic attitude of the German authorities of that time for all who participated in the invasion supported by the majority of the leaders of the Russian emigration, in military, punitive or political actions on the territory of the USSR. Collaborators will never wash this stain off!" Mikhail Demurin noted. On October 27, 2020, the Soletsky District Court of the Novgorod Region recognized the mass murder of peaceful Soviet people by the German invaders and their accomplices in the village of Zhestyanaya Gorka in 1942 as genocide. More than 2,500 Soviet citizens from among the civilian population and prisoners of war of the Red Army became victims of the massacres. This is the first genocide case in the history of Russia.
More from gazeta.ru Former soldiers of Nazi Germany are being tested for involvement in the genocide of the peoples of the USSR By Lydia Misnik [Gazeta] Former servicemen of Nazi Germany, located in different countries of the world, will be checked for involvement in the genocide of the peoples of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War, the official representative of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia Andrei Ivanov told RIA Novosti. He drew attention to the fact that instructions to deliberately destroy the peaceful Soviet population were revealed in federal, regional and local archives. In addition, eyewitnesses testify to these crimes. Some states have already provided the department with the information it needs to conduct an investigation. Russia has previously prepared a bill on consolidating the concepts of 'Nazism,' 'Fascism' and 'genocide of the peoples of the Soviet Union,' which is designed to recognize "the inviolability of the principles of international law recognized by the charter of the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal." The day before, it was reported that the 96-year-old former secretary of a concentration camp, who was trying to escape, was brought by ambulance to court in Germany. Related: from the VKontakte wall of the Mius Front Association, which is involved in excavations in and around the Mius front in WWII, near the Mius River in Lugansk. The interviewee is identified as Colonel Andrey Kudryakov, who apparently works on the dig. The entry features a translatable video. Premiere! The film is about all of us, about the people of the search. Although it is called "Search Engine Kudryakov", it talks about the phenomenon of searching for the missing. The All-Russian project "People" drew attention to us and they managed to make the film modern, bright and interesting. At the heart of the filming of Kudryakov's interview to a group of journalists, as well as archival video and photo materials of the Mius Front Association, on which many may recognize themselves. From the description of the video: Andrey Kudryakov in our October issue. For the head of Mius Front, a profession that does not exist has become a matter of life. In many countries, the army is engaged in the search for the remains of soldiers. We have volunteers. Moreover, the first search engines were veterans. Mius Front is the place of the hardest battles. Almost 300 km of trenches. According to some estimates, almost 800 thousand Red Army soldiers perished in these steppes. For two decades Kudryakov and his comrades have been working at the Mius Front. And not only there. What makes people leave a quiet life, and go to the Memory Watch? What did the search engines find in the Sal'sk death pit? How does a rookie feel when raising his first soldier? And what does Kudryakov himself feel when he manages to return the name of the missing war and bury a soldier of the Great Patriotic War with honors? More about this in our new issue. | |

| #9 I bet they could find those guilty of killing more Russians if they focused on the Soviet period. I guess you didn't bother watching any part of the video. And as an aside, they are focusing on the Soviet period |

| #7 Former soldiers of Nazi Germany are being tested for involvement in the genocide of the peoples of the USSR So, if they were 18 in 1945, the last year of the war, that would make them about 94 years old today. You think they're going to find many? |

| #3 Everyone in Nicholas II's bloodline was wiped out by the Bolsheviks in 1918. Some others in the Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich's bloodline survived. One of them recently was wed in St.Petersburg |

| #2 Driven out, yes, Silentbrick. But the heir to the head of the Russian imperial house, George Romanov, just married in St. Petersburg — the Tsar and his family were murdered back in the day, but there were and are loads of Russian royals who survived in exile. |
