O. Karinov "Unknown Faces of War." Chapter 5. Violence raises violence (continued)

Psychologists-criminalists have long established that rape is usually explained not to the desire to obtain sexual satisfaction, and the thirst for power, the desire to emphasize its superiority over the weaker way of humiliation, a feeling of revenge.

What is the war contributes to the manifestation of all these low-lying feelings?

On September 7, 1941, the rally in Moscow was made by the appeal of Soviet women, which said: "It is impossible to convey with the words that the fascist villains are revealed with a woman in the areas of the Soviet country temporarily captured by them. There is no limit to Sadizm. These sublores will chase women, children and old people ahead to hide them from the fire of the Red Army. They raped with them to victims, they plow the stomachs, cut out their chests, they put them with their machines, tearing with tanks ... "

In what condition can a woman being subjected to violence, defenseless, depressed by a sense of desecrating, shame?

In consciousness, there is a stupor from curious murders. Thoughts are paralyzed. Shock. Other people's uniforms, someone else's speech, other people's smells. They are not even perceived as male rapists. These are some monstrous creatures from another world.

And they ruthlessly destroy all the concepts of chastity, decency, shamefulness for years. They get to the fact that they always hid from prying eyes, the exposure of what was always considered indecent, what they were shusked in the gentlemen, what they only trust the most beloved people and doctors ...

Helplessness, despair, humiliation, fear, disgust, pain - everything is intertwined in one club, tearing from the inside, destroying human dignity. This tangle breaks the will, burns the soul, kills the person. He drinks life ... break off clothes ... and there is no possibility to resist this. It will still happen.

I think thousands and thousands of women cursed at such moments of nature, by the will of which they were born with women.

Turn to documents that are more accurate than any literary description. Documents collected only in 1941.

"... It happened in the apartment of the young teacher Elena K. The group of drunk German officers burst here here. At this time, the teacher was engaged in three girls, her student. Closing the door to the key, the bandits ordered Elena K. to undress. A young woman resolutely refused to fulfill this arrogant demand. Then the fascists broke with her clothes and raped in front of children. Girls tried to protect the teacher, but the bastards were also brutally aburred over them. The room remained a five-year-old son of the teacher. Not daring to scream, the child looked at what was happening widely disclosed with horror with glazers. A fascist officer approached him and the bells hit his sleep. "

From the testimony of Lydia N., Rostov:

"Yesterday I heard a strong knock at the door. When I walked to the door, I was banging with butts, trying to break her. 5 German soldiers broke into the apartment. My father, mother and little brother they kicked out apartments. After I found the corpse of my brother on the staircase. The German soldier dropped it from the third floor of our house, as I told eyewitnesses. He was broken by the head. Mother and father were shot at the entrance of our house. I myself have undergone group violence. I was unconscious. When I woke up, I heard the hysterical cries of women in neighboring apartments. On this evening, all apartments of our house were fed by the Germans. They raped all women. " Creepy document! The experienced fear of this woman is involuntarily transmitted by several pieces. Boots of butt on the door. Five monsters. Fear for yourself, for those noted in an unknown direction of relatives: "Why? To not see what happens? Arrested? Killed? " Dooming to vast torture, deprived of consciousness. A repeatedly enhanced nightmare from "hysterical cries of women in neighboring apartments", as if moaning the whole house. Unreality…

Statement of a resident of the village of Novo-Ivanovka Maria Tarantseva: "Breaking to me into the house, four German soldiers brutally raped my daughters faith and Pelagia."

"On the first evening, in the city of Luga, the fascists caught 8 girls on the streets and raped them."

"In the mountains. Tikhvina of the Leningrad region 15-year-old M. Kolodetskaya, being wounded by a fragment, was brought to the hospital (former. Monastery), where they were wounded German soldiers. Despite the wound, the Kladenian was raped by a group of German soldiers, which was the cause of her death. "

Every time you shook when you think about what is hidden behind the dry text of the document. The girl expires blood, it hurts it from the wound received. Why began this war! And finally, the hospital. The smell of iodine, bandages. People. Let even non-Russian. They will help her. After all, people are treated in hospitals. And suddenly instead - a new pain, cry, animal longing, bringing to madness ... and consciousness slowly fades. Forever.

"In the Belarusian town, Shazk Nazis gathered all young girls, raped them, and then barely kicked out the square and forced to dance. Those who resisted, fascist monsters were shot in place. Such violence and the abuse of the invaders were a widespread mass phenomenon. "

"On the very first day, in the village of Basmanovo, the Smolensk region, fascist monsters were kicked out in the field of more than 200 schoolchildren and schoolgirls, who came to the village for harvesting, surrounded them and shot them. They took the schoolgirls to their rear "for the Lord of Officers". " I am lunsed and I can not imagine these girls who came to the village of a noisy group of classmates, with his teenage love and experiences, with the inherent age carelessness and fun. Girls, which later immediately, simultaneously, saw the bloody corpses of their boys and, not having time to comprehend, refusing to believe in what happened, found themselves in hell created by adults.

"On the first day of the arrival of the Germans in the Red Polyana to Alexander Yakovlevna (Demyanova) there were two fascists. They saw the daughter's daughter Demyanova - a 14-year-old Nureu - Hilu and weak healthy girl. The German officer grabbed a teenager and raped her in front of his mother. On December 10, the doctor's local gynecological hospital, having examined the girl, stated that this Hitler's gangster infected it with syphilis. In the next apartment, fascist cattle raped another 14-year-old girl Tonya I.

On December 9, 1941, the corpse of the Finnish officer in Red Polyana was found. A collection of women's buttons was found in the pocket - 37 pieces, rape account. And in Krasnaya Polyana, he raped Margarita K. and also threw a button with her blouse. "

The killed soldiers often found "trophies" in the form of buttons, stocking, curls of female hair. Found photos that captured the scenes of violence, letters and diaries, in which they described their "feats".

"In letters, the nicknames with cynical frankness and barrack are divided by their adventures. Efreitor Felix Felix sends a letter to his friend: "Step into the chests and organizing a good dinner, we have become fun. The girl got angry, but we also organized her. Not trouble that all the separation ... "

Efreitor Georg Pfaler writes without constraint: "In a small town, we stayed three days in a small town ... You can imagine how much we ate in three days. And how many chests and cabinets have rummaged how many small young lady ripped ... Merry now our life, not that in the trenches ... "

In the diary of the murdered Ober-Efreitor, there is the following entry: "October 12. Today participated in cleaning the camp from suspicious. Shot 82. Among them was a beautiful woman. We, I and Karl, took her to the operating room, she bit and took. After 40 minutes, she was shot. Memory - a few minutes of pleasure. "

With prisoners who did not have time to get rid of such compromising their documents, the conversation was short: took aside and - bullet in the head.

Woman in military uniform caused special hatred from enemies. She is not only a woman - she is also fighting soldiers with you! And if the prisoner-male soldiers broke morally and physically barbaric torture, then women-women - rape. (They were resorted to him during interrogations. Girls from the "Young Guard" were raped by the Germans, and one naked threw on a split oven.)

The health care worked in their hands in their hands is raped.

"Two kilometers south of the village of Akimovka (Melitopolshchina) on the car, in which there were two wounded Red Army and who accompanied their female Feldsher, the Germans flew out. Woman was fired to the sunflowers, raped her, and then shot. In the wounded redarmers, these beasts turned their hands and also shot them ... "

"In the village of Voronki, in Ukraine, the Germans posted 40 wounded redarmeys, prisoners of war and medical sisters in the premises of the former hospital. The nurse was raped and shot, and near the wounded they put guard ... "

"In the Red Polyana, the wounded fighters and wounded sanitarians did not give 4 days of water and 7 days of food, and then drove with salt water. Sanitary began agonizing. A dying girl fascists raped in front of the wounded Red Army teams. "

The perverted logic of war requires full power from the rapist. So, only the humiliation of the victim is not enough. And then the victim is committed with inconceivable bullying, and in conclusion she takes life, as a manifestation of the highest power. Otherwise, what is good, she will be challenging that he gave you pleasure! And you can look in her eyes weak, once did not complain with my sexual desire. Hence the sadistic appeal and murder.

"Hitler's robbers in one village grabbed a fifteen-year-old girl and brutally raped her. Sixteen beasts tormented this girl. She resisted, she called her mother, she screamed. They walked her eyes to her and threw her, confused, burned out to the street ... It was in the Belarusian town of Chernin. "

"In the city of Lviv, 32 employees of the Lviv sewing factory were raped and then killed by German attack aircraft. Drunk German soldiers taped Lviv girls and young women in the park Kostysichko and brutally raped them. Old man of priest V.L. Pomaznev, who, with a cross in his hands, tried to prevent violence against girls, the fascists beat, rolled the rjas from him, burned the beard and frolin bayonets. "

"The streets of the village K., where the Germans scolded for some time, were removed by the corpses of women, old people, children. The surviving residents of the village told the Red Armyians that the fascists beat the hospital building of all the girls and raped them. Then locked the doors and set fire to the building. "

"In the Bezmlsky district, the wife of the Soviet worker raped, and then planted on the bayonet."

"In Dnepropetrovsk on a large marketing street, drunk soldiers detained three women. Tying them to the posts, the Germans were wildly over them, and then killed. "

"In the village of Milyutino, the Germans arrested 24 collective farmers and took them into the neighboring village. Among the arrested were thirteen years old Anastasia Davydov. Throwing the peasants to the dark barn, the fascists began to torture them, demanding information about the partisans. All silent. Then the Germans led the girl from the barn and asked, in what direction the collective farm cattle was born. Young patriot refused to answer. Fascist bastards raped the girl and then shot. "

"Germans broke to us! Two 16-year-old girls, their officers dragged on the cemetery and over them were abruptly. Then they ordered the soldiers to hang them on the trees. The soldiers performed the order and hung them down their heads. There, the soldiers were abarted over the 9th old women. " (Kolmitsa Petrova from the collective farm "PAKAR".)

"We stood in the village of Big Pankratovo. It was on Monday on the 21st, at four o'clock in the morning. The fascist officer went on the village, went in everything at home, took the money from the peasants, things, threatened that he would shoot all the inhabitants. Then we came to the house at the hospital. There were a doctor and a girl. He told the girl: "Follow me in the commandant, I have to check your documents." I saw her passport on my chest. He started her in the garden near the hospital herself and raped there. Then the girl rushed into the field, she screamed, it was clear that she lost his mind. He caught her and soon showed me a passport in the blood ... "

"The fascists burst into the Sanatorium Naroschaw in August. (...) The German fascists raped all women who were in this sanatorium. And then mutilated, beaten sufferers were shot. "

In historical literature, it was repeatedly noted that "when investigating war crimes, many documents and certificates of rape of young pregnant women were detected, who then cut her throat and sieved bayonets of the chest. Obviously, hatred for women's breast in the blood of the Germans. "

I will give a few such documents and evidence.

"In the village of Semenovskoye Kalinin region, the Germans raped 25-year-old Olga Tikhonov, the wife of Krasnoarmeyman, the mother of three children, who was in the last stage of pregnancy, tied her hands with his twine. After rape, the Germans cut her throat, punctured both breasts and sadistic drilled them. "

"In Belarus, near the city of Borisov, 75 women and girls who fled at the approach of German troops were in the hands of Nazis. The Germans raped, then brutally killed 36 women and girls. 16-year-old girl L.I. Melchukow by order of the German officer Gummer soldiers took into the forest where they raped. Some time later, other women who were allocated to the forest saw that near the trees were boarded, and the dying Melchukov had a filament bayonets, who had Germans in front of other women, in particular V.I. Alperrenko and V.M. Bereznikova, cut off his chest ... "

(With all my rich imagination, I can not imagine what an inhuman cry, accompanied by the torment of women, had to stand above this Belarusian town, above this forest. It seems you will hear such even away, and you can not stand, shut down your ears with both hands, and beat away because you know that it is shouting people.)

"In the village of J. On the road, we saw a mutilated Timofey Vasilyevich Globy Globy. All it is used by the shroms, is amazed by bullets. Not far away in the garden lay a killed nagging girl. Her eyes were inqualled, the right chest is cut off, a bayonet braided in the left. This is the daughter of the old man Globa - Galya.

When the fascists broke into the village, the girl was hiding in the garden, where he spent three days. By the morning of the fourth day, Galya decided to get to the hut, hoping to get something to eat. Here it is overtaking a German officer. The sick of the daughter ran out a sick globe and crutch hit the rapist. Two more bandita officers jumped out of the huts, the soldiers convened, grabbed Gali and her father. The girl was divided, raped and brutally mocked her, and her father kept everything to see everything. Purifies to her eyes, the right chest was cut off, and the pin in the left in the left. Then we divide the Timofey Globa, put on the body of the daughter (!) And beat with shomprons. And when he, having gathered the remnants of his strength, tried to escape, they caught up on the road, shot and frolin bayonets. "

Some special "delety" was considered to rape and torment women in front of his people close to them: husbands, parents, children. Maybe the audience were needed to demonstrate their "power" to them and emphasize their humiliating helplessness?

"Everywhere, the peeled German gangsters are ripening at home, rape women, girls in front of their relatives and their children, join the raped and brutally straightening with their victims."

"In the village of Bunch, Kolhomnik Terekhin Ivan Gavrilovich with his wife Polina Borisovna. Several German soldiers grabbed Polina, dragged to the side, poured on the snow and her husband began to rape in her eyes. Woman screamed, resisted with all his might.

Then the fascist rapist shot it in the emphasis. Polina Terekhov was hammered in agony. Her husband escaped from the hands of rapists and rushed to the dying. But the Germans caught up with him and put 6 bullets in his back. "

"On the farm apne, drunk German soldiers raped a 16-year-old girl and threw her in a well. There they also threw her mother, trying to prevent the rapists. "

Vasily Vishnichenko from the village of Generalical showed: "German soldiers grabbed me and led me to the headquarters. One of the fascists at that time dragged my wife into the cellar. When I returned, I saw that the wife was lying in the cellar, the dress was broken on her and she was already dead. Villains raped her and killed one bullet in the head, the other - in the heart. "

On November 30, 1941, a Russian heroine hung in the Nazi form. Her name was Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. The memory of it and about other heroes that gave life for our freedom is extremely important. How many of our media will remember the Zoe Kosmodemyanskaya and tell about it this weekend in the news? About not our media is not worth mentioning at all ...

I published an article about Zoe Kosmodemyanskaya. The author of this material was our colleague from "Unfortunately in the 2 last year, this material from historical turned into a topical and acquired a completely different sound.

"On November 29, 1941, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya died heroically. Her feat became a legend. She was the first woman awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War. Her name has become nominated and inscribed in capital letters into a heroic story. russian people - the winning people.

Fascists beat and tormented
Expelled barefoot on the frost,
There were hands with ropes twisted,
Five hours continued interrogation.
On your face scars and abrasions,
But silence is the answer to the enemy.
Wooden platform with crossbar,
You barely stand in the snow.
Young voice sounds over a fius,

Over a frosty day silence:
- I'm not afraid to die, comrades,
My people will revenge for me!

AGNIYA BARTO

For the first time about the fate of Zoe became widely known from the essay Peter Alexandrovich Lidova Tanya, published in the newspaper "Pravda" on January 27, 1942 and telling the execution of the Fascists in the village of Petrishchevo Petrishchevo Girls, who called themselves at the interrogation of Tanya. Nearby was published a photo: a mutilated female body with a rope on the neck. Then there was still no real name of the deceased. Simultaneously with the publication in the "Pravda" in "Komsomolsk Pravda" Material published Sergey Lyubimova "We will not forget you, Tanya."

We had a cult of the feat of Tanya (Zoe Kosmodemyanskaya) and he firmly entered the generic memory of the people. Introduced this cult Comrade Stalin personally . February 161942 she was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union posthumously. And the article - continuation of Lidova - "Who was Tanya," came out only two days later - 18th of Febuary 1942. Then the whole country recognized the real name killed by the fascists of the girl: Zoya Anatolyevna Kosmodemyanskaya, student of the tenth school class N 201 of the Oktyabrsky district of Moscow. She was recognized by school friends in photography, accompanied by the first essay of Lidov.

"In the first days of December 1941 in Petrishchev, near the city of Belie," wrote Lidov, "the Germans executed Eighteen-year-old Muscovite Komsomolkoy, who called himself Tatiana ... She died in an enemy captivity on a fascist dyber, nor a single sound giving out his sufferings without giving his own sound comrades. She took martyrdom as a heroine as the daughter of the great people who never break anyone! The memory of her yes lives forever! "

During the interrogation, a German officer, according to Lidov, asked an eighteen-year-old girl the main question: "Tell me where is Stalin?" "Stalin is in his post," Tatiana replied.

In the newspaper "Publicity". September 24, 1997 in the material of Professor-historian Ivan Sidiachi under the heading "Her name and the feat of her immortal" An act was published in the village of Petrishchevo on January 25, 1942:

"We, the following, - the Commission consisting of: Chairman of the Gribsovsky Sencase Berezina Mikhail Ivanovich, Secretary of Stalkida Claudia Prokofievna, Kolkhozniki-eyewitnesses of the collective farm" 8th of March "- Kulika Vasily Alexandrovich and Voronina Evdokia Petrovna - amounted to a real act in the following: during the occupation period Veresky District, German soldiers in the village of Petrishchevo hung a girl who called himself Tanya. After it turned out that it was a guerrilla girl from Moscow - Zoya Anatolyevna Kosmodemyanskaya born in 1923. German soldiers caught her at the time when she performed a combat mission, he set fire to a stable in which there were more than 300 horses. German clock grabbed her from behind, and she did not have time to shoot.

She was led to the house of Sedovaya Maria Ivanovna, we divided and began interrogation. But it did not have to get any information from it. After the interrogation of the Sedovoy, sunk and undressed, she was taken to the house of Voronina, where he was headquarters. There continued to interrogate, but she answered all questions: "No! I do not know!". After having achieved anything, the officer ordered to be started to beat her belts. The hostess, which he drove to the oven, counted about 200 shots. She did not scream and did not even say any moan. And after this torture again answered: "No! I will not say! I do not know!"

She was taken out of the house of Voronina; She walked, stepping with bare legs in the snow, led to the house of a hook. Exhausted and explored, she was in the circle of enemies. German soldiers mocked her every way. She asked to drink - the German brought her a lit lamp. And someone spent on her back saw. Then all the soldiers left, one watch remained. His hands were associated back. Feet frosts. The clock told her to climb and brought to the street under the rifle. And again she went, stepping with bare feet in the snow, and drove until he frozen himself. The sentries changed after 15 minutes. And so continued to drive her down the whole night.

Speaks P.Ya. Kulik (Maiden's name Petrushina, 33 years): "She was brought and planted on the bench, and she fused. She had black-black, baked and bloated face on her forehead. She asked to drink from my husband. We asked: "Can I?" They said: "No", and one of them instead of water raised a burning kerosene lamp without glass to the chin.

When I told me, she told me: "Victory is all the same for us. Let them shoot me, let these monsters are mocked by me, but they still do not shoot us all. We are another 170 million, the Russian people always won, and now the victory will be behind us. "

In the morning she was taught to the gallows and began to photograph ... She shouted: "Citizens! You do not stand, do not look, and you need to help fight! ". After that, one officer swung, and others shouted at her.

Then she said: "Comrades, victory will be behind us. German soldiers, not too late, give up. " The officer screamed viciously: "Rus!" - "The Soviet Union is invincible and will not be defeated," she said all this at the time when she was photographed ...

Then they lay the box. Without any team, she became the box herself. German approached and began to wear a loop. She shouted at that time: "How much do not hang us, you do not exit all, we are 170 million. But for me, our comrades will be distorted. " It she said already with a loop on her neck. "A few seconds to death, sand the moment she announced to eternity, with a loop on her neck, the verdict of the Soviet people: " Stalin with us! Stalin will come! "

In the morning they built the gallows, collected the population and hung publicly. But even over the accepted continued to mock. She was cut off his left chest, her legs were cut by knives.

When our troops drove the Germans from Moscow, they hurried to remove the body of Zoe and sorpe by the villages, night the gallows were buried, as if wishing to hide the traces of their crime. Hinged it in the first days of December 1941. What is the present act ".

And a little later, photographs found in the pocket of the killed German brought a little later. On 5 pictures were captured by the execution of the execution of Zoe Kosmodemyanskaya. At the same time, the next essay of Peter Lidova, dedicated to the feat of Zoe Kosmodemyanskaya, under the heading "5 photos".

Why was the young explosion called this name (or the name "Taon") and why exactly her feat singled out Comrade Stalin? After all, at the same time, many Soviet people committed no less heroic actions. For example, on the same day, November 29, 1942, in the same Moscow region, the partisan of Vera Voloshin was executed, for the feat of the 1st degree received by the Order of the Patriotic War (1966) and the title of Hero of Russia (1994).

For the successful mobilization of the entire Soviet people, the Russian civilization, Stalin used the symbol language and those triggers that can be extracted from the generic memory of Russian swans of heroic victories. We remember the famous speech at the parade on November 7, 1941, in which the great Russian commander, and national liberation wars, in which we invariably went out by the winners. There were thus carried out parallels between the victories of the ancestors and the current imminent victory. Surname Kosmodemyanskaya comes from the consecrated names of the two Russian heroes - goat and Demyan. In Murom, there is a church of their name, set by order of Ivan the Terrible.

At that place once stood the tent of Ivan the Terrible, and the Kuznetsky Posad was located nearby. The king thoughtfully, as you can cross through OKU, on the other side of which stood the enemy camp. Here, two brothers-blacksmiths appeared in the tent, whose name was Kozma and Demyan, who offered their help to the king. At night, in the dark, the brothers quietly squeezed into the enemy camp and set fire to the Khan Schet. While there was a fire in the camp and were looking for a lazutchikov, the troops of Ivan the Terrible, taking advantage of the stir in the enemy's mill, crossed the river. Demian and Kozma died, and in their honor they built the church and called it the name of the heroes.

In the end - in one family both The child make feats and honored the title of Hero of the Soviet Union! The name of the heroes in the USSR called the streets. In the usual case, there would be two streets that received the name of each of the heroes. But in Moscow onestreet, and not by chance, received a "double" name - Zoe and Alexander Kosmodemyansky

In 1944, the film "Zoya" was removed, received in Cannes in 1946 at the I International Film Festival for the best scenario. Also, the film "Zoya" is awarded Stalinist Award I Degree, I received it Leo Arnshtam (producer), Galina Vodianitskaya (Executor Role Zoe Kosmodemyanskaya) and Alexander Shelenkov (cameraman).

Let's talk about the trophies of the Red Army, which Soviet winners brought home from defeated Germany. We will calmly talk, without emotions - only photos and facts. Then we will touch on the delicate question of the rape of German women and go through the facts from the life of occupied Germany.

The Soviet soldier takes a bike from German (according to Russophobes), or the Soviet soldier helps to align the steering wheel (according to Rusophiles). Berlin, August 1945. (as it was in fact, in the investigation below)

It's true, she, as always, is in the middle, and it lies in the fact that in the abandoned German houses and stores, Soviet soldiers took everything that they liked, but the Germans had enough arrogue robbery. The ladded, of course, happened, but it was, and judged by the tribunal by the tribunal. And no one from the soldiers wanted to pass the war alive, and because of some junk and the next turn of the struggle for friendship with the local population, I would not go home by the winner, but in Siberia convicted.

Soviet soldiers are bought in the "black market" in the garden Tiergarten. Berlin, summer of 1945.

Although the junk was appreciated. After the Red Army joined the territory of Germany, the Order of the USSR No. 0409 of December 26, 1944. All the servicemen of the operating fronts were allowed to send one personal package to the Soviet rear once a month.
The most severe punishment was the deprivation of the right to this parcel, the weight of which was established: for an ordinary and sergeant composition - 5 kg, for officers - 10 kg and for generals - 16 kg. The size of the parcel could not exceed 70 cm in each of the three dimensions, but home and large equipment, carpets, and furniture, and even the piano were committed to home in various ways.
When demobilization, officers and soldiers were allowed to take everything that they could take with them on the road in personal chooser. Large things at the same time have often been carried home, securing on the roofs of the heavers, and the Poles on the flow was left to paint them in the course of the train rods with hooks (grandfather told).

Three Soviet women stuck in Germany carry wine from an abandoned wine store. Lippstadt, April 1945.

During the war, the first months after her graduation, soldiers were mostly sent to the homemade in the rear, the American dry solders, consisting of canned food, gallets, egg powder, jam, and even instant coffee) were considered the most valuable. Therapeutic drugs of allies - Streptomicin and Penicillin are still very valued.

American soldiers with young Germans combine trade and flirting on the "black market" in the garden Tiergarten.
Soviet military in the background in the market is not foolish. Berlin, May 1945.

And it was possible to get it only on the "black market", which instantly originated in every German city. On the flea markets it was possible to buy everything: from the car to women, and the most common currency had tobacco and products.
The Germans needed food, and the Americans, the British and French were interested in only money - in Germany, the Nazi Reichsmarks, occupying brands of winners, and foreign currencies of the Allied countries, were made at whose courses.

And the funds from the Soviet soldiers were found. According to Americans, they were the most good buyers - lung, poorly traded and very rich. After all, since December 1944, the Soviet soldiers in Germany began to receive double salary and rubles, and in brands at the rate (this double payment system will be canceled much later).
.

Photos of Soviet soldiers traded on the flea market. Photo Life from September 10, 1945.

Salary of Soviet servicemen depended on the title and held position. So, Major, Deputy Military Commandant, received 1500 rubles in 1945. per month and on the same amount in the occupation stamps at the rate. In addition, the officers from the position of the company commander and higher, money was paid to hiring German servants.
.

For the presentation of prices. Certificate of buying by the Soviet Colonel in the German car for 2,500 brands (750 Soviet rubles)

The Soviet military received a lot of money - on the "black market", an officer could buy everything with his own soul for one monthly salary. In addition, debts on monetary content last times have been paid to the servicemen, and they had plenty of money even in the case of sending home ruble certificate.
Therefore, the risk "get to the distribution" and to incur punishment for the ladding was just stupid and there is no need. And although greedy marauding fools, of course, have grabbed, but they were the exception rather than the rule.

The soldiers were different, and their tastes were also different. Some, for example, were very valued by such German SS (or sea, flights) daggers, although there were no practical benefit from them. In my childhood, I kept one such a Singa dagger in my hands (my friend's friend with war brought) - his black and silver beauty and an ominous story, fascinated.

But most Soviet soldiers were valued by everyday clothes, accordions, watches, cameras, radio receivers, crystal, china, which many years after the war, were ruined by shelves of Soviet commissions.
Many of those things have been preserved and today, and do not hurry to blame their old owners in the routing - no one will know the true circumstances of their acquisition, but most likely they were the winners of Germans simply and tritely bought.

On the question of one historical falsification, or about the picture "Soviet soldier selects the bike."

This well-known shot is traditionally used to illustrate articles on the atrocities of Soviet soldiers in Berlin. This topic with an amazing constancy from year to year rises to the Victory Day.
The picture itself is published, as a rule, with the signature "Soviet soldier takes the bike from a resident of Berlin". There are also signatures from the cycle "In Berlin, the 45th flourished by the looting" etc.

On the issue of the very photo and what is imprinted on it, roast disputes are going. Arguments of opponents of the "Mrauding and Violence" version, which I had to meet in the network, unfortunately, it sounds unconvincing. Of these, it is possible to allocate, firstly, calls are not to build judgments based on one photo. Secondly, an indication of the postures of the German, a soldier and other people who fell into the frame. In particular, from the tranquility of the characters of the second plan it follows that it is not about violence, but an attempt to fix some kind of cycling item.
Finally, there are doubts that the Soviet soldiers are captured in the photo: the rolling pin through the right shoulder, the rolling pinch itself is a very strange form, too much a header on the head, etc. In addition, in the background, immediately behind the soldier, if you look closely, you can see the military in the form of an obviously not Soviet pattern.

But, once again I emphasize, all these versions do not seem to me quite convincing.

In general, I decided to figure it out in this story. A snapshot, I judged, clearly there should be the author, there must be a source, the first publication, and most likely - the original signature. Which can shed light on what is depicted in the photo.

If you take literature, as far as I remembered, this picture came across in the documentary exposition catalog to the 50th anniversary of the German attack on the Soviet Union. The exposition itself was opened in 1991 in Berlin in the Hall "Topography of Terror", then, as far as I know, was exhibited in St. Petersburg. Her catalog in Russian "War of Germany Council of Soviet Union 1941-1945" was published in 1994.

I have no this catalog, but my colleague, fortunately, found. Indeed, the desired photo is published on 257 pages. Signature traditional: "Soviet soldier takes a bike from a resident of Berlin, 1945"

Apparently, this directory published in 1994 and became a Russian primary photo source. At least on a number of old, even the beginning of the 2000s resources, I came across this picture precisely with reference to the "war of Germany counter-Soviet Union .." and with a familiar signature. It seems from there a photo and pokes over the network.

In the catalog as a source of the picture, the Bildarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz is indicated - photo archive of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. The archive has a website, but how much I tried, finding the right picture on it did not succeed.

But in the process of searching, I came across the same snapshot in the LIFE log archive. In the veil version it is called "BIKE FIGHT".
Please note that here the photo is not cropped around the edges, as in the exposure catalog. New interesting details arise, for example, on the left behind the backs, you can see an officer, and, as if not a German officer:

But the main thing is the signature!
A RUSSIAN SOLDIER INVOLVED IN A MISUNDERSTANDING WOMAN IN BERLIN, OVER A BICYCLE HE WISHED TO BUY FROM HER.

"There was a misunderstanding between the Russian soldier and German in Berlin, which he wanted to buy it."

In general, I will not tire the reader with nuances of further search by keywords "misunderstanding", "German woman", "Berlin", "Soviet soldier", "Russian soldier", etc. I found the original photo and the original signature under it. The picture belongs to the American company Corbis. There he is:

It is not difficult to notice, here a snapshot full, on the right and on the left there are details cut into the "Russian version" and even in the LIFE version. These details are very important, as they give the picture a completely different mood.

Well, finally, the original signature:

Russian Soldier Tries to Buy Bicycle From Woman in Berlin, 1945
A MISUNDERSTINSTING ENSUES After A Russian Soldier Tries to Buy a Bucycle From A German Woman in Berlin. After Giving Her Money For the Bike, The Soldier Assumes The Deal Has Been Struck. However The Woman Doesn "T Seem Convinced.

Russian Soldier Trying to buy a bike in a woman in Berlin, 1945
The misunderstanding happened after the Russian soldier tried to buy a bike in a German woman in Berlin. I gave her money for a bike, he believes that the deal took place. However, the woman considers otherwise.

These are the case, expensive fries.
Circle where neither shine, lie, lie, lie ...

So who raped all the Germans?

From the article Sergey Manukova.

Professor of Criminalistics Robert Lilly from the United States checked American military archives and concluded that by November 1945 the Tribunals considered 11,040 cases of serious sexual crimes committed by American servicemen in Germany. We agree that the Western allies also "dismissed hands", and other historians from the UK, France and America.
For a long time, Western historians are trying to impose a guilt on Soviet soldiers with the help of evidence that no court will take.
The most striking idea of \u200b\u200bthem is given by one of the main arguments of the British historian and the writer Anthony Bivor, one of the most famous specialists in the West on the history of the Second World War.
He believed that Western soldiers, especially the American military, did not need to rape the Germans, because they had the most chassis product, with the help of which it was possible to achieve the consent of Froilain for sex: canned food, coffee, cigarettes, nylon stockings, etc. .
Western historians believe that the overwhelming majority of sexual contacts between winners and Germans were voluntary, that is, that it was the most common prostitution.
It is no coincidence that the joke was popular: "Americans needed six years to cope with the German armies, but had enough day and chocolate tiles to conquer German women."
However, the picture was far from such a pink, as Trusting Anthony Bivor and his supporters. The post-war society was not able to differentiate voluntary and violent sexual contacts of women who were given, because they died from hunger, and those who became victims of rape under the shower of a pistol or machine gun.

The fact that this is an excessive idealized picture, Louchelated Miriam Gebhardt loudly, Professor of the History of the University of Constanta, which in the south-west of Germany.
Of course, when writing a new book, it least has led the desire to protect and whitewash the Soviet soldiers. The main motive is the establishment of truth and historical justice.
Miriam Gebhardt found several victims of the "exploits" of American, British and French soldiers and took interviews from them.
Here is the story of one of the women victims of Americans:

Six American soldiers came to the village when the beginning began to be measured, and entered the house where Katerlinov lived. With 18-year-old daughter Charlotte. Women managed to run in front of the appearance of unnecessary guests, but they did not think to surrender. Obviously, they were doing this not the first time.
The Americans began to search one after another all at home and in the end Almost at midnight found heels in Chulana at the neighbor. They pulled them, threw them on the bed and raped. Instead of chocolates and nylon stockings, rapids in the form got guns and automata.
This group rape occurred in March 1945, for a month and a half before the end of the war. Charlotte was horrified by the mother to help, but Katerina could not help her.
The book provides a lot of similar cases. They all occurred in the south of Germany, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe occupation of American troops, the number of which was 1.6 million people.

In the spring of 1945, Archbishop Munich and Freising ordered the priests subordinate to him to document all the events associated with the occupation of Bavaria. A few years ago, part of the 1945 archives was published.
The priest Michael Merksmulller from Ramsau village, which is located near Berchtesgaden, wrote on July 20, 1945: "Eight girls and women were raped. And some are right in front of their parents."
Andreas Wingand Father from Haaga An der-Ampere, a tiny village, located on the place where Munich Airport is now, wrote on July 25, 1945:
"The saddest event during the offensive of the American army was three rape. Drunk soldiers raped one married woman, one unmarried and the girl 16 and a half years.
"By order of the military authorities, the priest Alois Shiml from Mosburg wrote on August 1, 1945, - on the doors of each house there should be a list of all residents with an indication of the age. 17 raped girls and women got into the hospital. Among them are those who are American soldiers. Raped for many times. "
From the reports of the priests followed: the very young victim of Yankee was 7 years old, and the most elderly - 69.
The book "When soldiers came" appeared on the shelves of bookstores in early March and immediately caused hot spores. There is nothing surprising in this, because Frau Gebhardt died to swallow, and during a strong exacerbation of relations between the West and Russia, to attempt to equalize those who unleasted the war, and those who have suffered from her.
Despite the fact that the focus of Gebhardt's book is given to Yankee's feats, they committed "feats", of course, the rest of the Western Allies. Although in comparison with the Americans, they were driving significantly less.

The Americans raped 190 thousand Germans.

Best of all, according to the author of the book in 1945, British soldiers behaved in Germany, but not because of some innate nobility or, let's say, the Code of Conduct of Gentleman.
The British officers who were not only a strict socioy banned their subordinates from the other armies, were decent to their colleagues from other armies, but they also watched them very carefully.
As for the French, they also have the same as in the case of our soldiers, the situation is somewhat different. France was occupied by the Germans, although, of course, the occupation of France and Russia, as they say, two big differences.
In addition, most of the rapists of the French army were Africans, that is, the immigrants from the French colonies on the Black Continent. They still had anyway, who would take revenge - the main thing that women were white.
Especially the French "distinguished" in Stuttgart. They chased the residents of Stuttgart in the subway and staged a three-day orgy of violence. According to various sources, during this time were raped from 2 to 4 thousand Germans.

Just as the allies from the East, with whom they met on the Elbe, American soldiers were horrified by the crimes committed by the Germans and were angry with their stubbornness and desire to protect their homeland.
American propaganda played his role, who was imagining them that the Germans were crazy about the liberators from behind the ocean. This was even stronger than the erotic fantasies deprived of the female caress.
Semen Miriam Gebhardt fell into the prepared ground. After the crimes of the American servicemen, held several years ago in Afghanistan and Iraq, and especially in the infamous Iraqi prison, Abu Greybean, many Western historians have become critical of the behavior of the Yankees before and after the end of the war.
Researchers increasingly find documents in archives, for example, about the loans by the American churches in Italy, the murders of civilians and German prisoners, as well as about the rape of Italian.
However, the attitude towards the American military changes extremely slow. The Germans continue to relate to them as disciplined and decent (especially compared to the allies) to the soldiers who gave your chewing to children, and women are stockings.

Of course, the evidence given by Miriam Gebhardt in the book "When the Military" was convinced of all. It is not surprising if you consider that no one has led any statistics and all calculations and figures are approximate and speculative.
Anthony Bivor with their supporters ridiculed the counting of Professor Gebhardt: "It is almost impossible to get accurate and reliable figures, but I think that hundreds of thousands are an obvious exaggeration.
Even if you take the number of children born from the Germans as the basis of the calculations, then it should be remembered here that a lot of them were conceived as a result of voluntary sex, and not rape. Do not forget that the gates of the American military camps and the bases in those years in the morning the Germans crowded in the morning. "
In the conclusions of Miriam Gebhardt, and especially in her numbers, of course, you can doubt, but even the most rhythm defenders of American soldiers will argue with the statement that they were not so "fluffy" and kind, which they are trying to present most Western historians.
Hotness would be because they left the "sexy" track not only in hostile Germany, but also in allied France. The soldiers of the American army raped thousands of French people, whom they freed from the Germans.

If the book "When soldiers came", Janks accuses a professor of history from Germany, then in the book "What soldiers did" the American Mary Roberts makes, a professor of history from the University of Wisconsin.
"My book is annoying the old myth of American soldiers who have always behaved well," she says. "Americans have sex everywhere and with everyone, on whom there was a skirt."
It is difficult to argue with Professor Roberts more than with Gebhardt, because she presented not to conclusions and counting, but exclusively facts. The main of them are archival documents, according to which 152 American servicemen were convicted of rape in France, and 29 of them were hanged.
Figures, of course, meager compared to neighboring Germany, even if you consider that every case human fate hides, but it should be remembered that these are only official statistics and that it represents only the vertex of iceberg.
Without much risk, it can be wrong to assume that only units of victims turned with complaints about the liberators. To go to the police, it most often interfered with shame, because in those days the rape was for a woman stigma stigma.

In France, there were other motives for rapists from behind the ocean. Many of them are raped by the Frenchwoman seemed something like amourous adventures.
Fathers of many American soldiers fought in France to the First World War. Their stories surely set up a lot of military from the army of General Eisenhower on romantic adventures with attractive Frenchwomen. Many Americans considered France something like a huge brothel.
Made their contribution and military journals like "Stars and Strip". They printed photos on which laughing French people kissed their liberators. They also printed phrases in French, which may be needed when communicating with French people: "I am not married," you have beautiful eyes, "you are very beautiful," etc.
Journalists hardly did not advise the soldiers to take what they liked. It is not surprising that after the allied landing in the summer of 1944 in Normandy, the North of France was overwhelmed by the "tsunami male lust and lust."
Especially distinguished the liberators from the ocean in the Havra. In the city archive, letters of Gavrtsev mayor with complaints about "a wide variety of crimes committed during the day and night" are preserved.
Most often, the inhabitants of the Government complained about rape, and often in front of the surrounding eyes, although there were, of course, and robbery with thefts.
Americans behaved in France, as in the conquered country. It is clear that the attitude towards them from the French was appropriate. A lot of residents of France considered the release of the "second occupation". And often more fierce than the first, German.

It is said that French prostitutes often remembered German customers in a good word, because Americans often interested not only sex. With Yankee, girls had to follow and behind their wallets. The liberators did not bother banal stealing and robbery.
Meetings with the Americans were life-threatening. 29 American soldiers were sentenced to the death penalty for the murder of French prostitutes.
In order to cool the deceased soldiers, the command distributed among the personnel of the leaflet, condemning rape. Special severity, the military prosecutor's office did not differ. Judged only those not to judge who was simply impossible. Clearly visible and reigned racist sentiment in America: out of 152 soldiers and officers who fell under the Tribunal, 139 were blacks.

How lived in occupied Germany

After World War II, Germany was divided into occupation zones. Regarding how they lived, today you can read and hear different opinions. Often directly opposite.

Denazification and re-education

The first challenge that the allies was set after the defeat of Germany - denazification of the German population. All adult population of the country passed the survey prepared by the "Control Council for Germany". The questionnaire "ErhebungsFormular MG / PS / G / 9A" was 131 questions. The survey was voluntary forced.

The refusal was deprived of the grocery cards.

Based on the survey, all Germans are divided into "not involved", "justified", "fellow travelers", "guilty" and "guilty to the highest degree." Citizens of the last three groups appeared before the court, which determined the measure of guilt and punishment. "Guilty" and "guilty to the highest" went to the camps for the interneeds, "travelers" could redeem the guilt with a cash fine or property.

It is clear that this technique was imperfect. Circular lodge, corruption and insincerity of the respondents made denations ineffective. The hundreds of thousands of Nazis managed to avoid the trial and on the substrate documents on the so-called "rat path".

Also, the Allies conducted a large-scale campaign to re-education Germans in Germany. The cinemas continued films about the atrocities of the Nazis. Going to sessions, the inhabitants of Germany were also mandatory. Otherwise, all the same grocery cards could lose. Also, the Germans drove on excursions to the former concentration camps and became involved in work held there. For most civilian populations, the information received was shocking. Goebbels Propaganda during the war years told them about the very different Nazism.

Demilitarization

According to the decision of the Potsdam Conference in Germany, demilitarization was supposed to dismantle the military factories.
The principles of demilitarization Western allies accepted in their own way: in their occupation zones, not only in no hurry to dismantle the plants, but also actively restored them, while trying to increase the quota of metal smelting and wishing to preserve the military potential of Western Germany.

By 1947, in the English and American zones, more than 450 military factories were also hidden.

The Soviet Union was more honest in this regard. According to the historian Mikhail Semiryagi, in one year after March 1945, the highest authorities of the Soviet Union took about a thousand decisions relating to the dismantling of 4389 enterprises from Germany, Austria, Hungary and other European countries. However, this quantity is not a comparison with the number of capacity destroyed by the war in the USSR.
The number of dismantled USSR of German enterprises amounted to less than 14% of the pre-war number of factories. According to Nikolai Voznesensky, then the chairman of the USSR, the USSR, the supply of trophy equipment from Germany only 0.6% of the direct damage of the USSR was covered

Marauding

Until now, the discussion is the topic of ladder and violence against the civilian population in post-war Germany.
The mass of documents seemingly preserved that the Western allies exported property from defeated Germans with literally ships.

"Distinguished" in collecting trophies and Marshal Zhukov.

When in 1948 he fell into disfavor, investigators began to "delaminate". The result of the confiscation of steel 194 furniture object, 44 carpet and tapestry, 7 boxes with crystal, 55 museum paintings and much more. All this was exported from Germany.

As for the soldiers and officers of the Red Army, the cases of looting on the available documents were not registered so much. Soviet warriors - the winners were more likely to be applied "finishing", that is, they were engaged in collecting incomplete property. When the Soviet command allowed sending parcels to home, the union went to the union boxes with sewing needles, tissue cuts, working instruments. At the same time, the attitude towards all these things was at our soldier was pretty squeamy. In the letters, they were justified for all this "junk".

Strange calculations

The most problematic topic is the topic of violence over peaceful citizens, especially over German women. Up to recruiting time, the number of German women who were raised, was small: from 20 to 150 thousand throughout Germany.

In 1992, in Germany, the book of two feminists, Helke Zander and Barbara Yor, "Liberators and liberated", where another figure appeared: 2 million.

These figures were "attracted" and were based on the static only one German clinic, multiplied by the hypothetical number of women. In 2002, the book of Anthony Bivor "Fall Berlin" was published, where this figure also appeared. In 2004, this book was published in Russia, giving rise to the myth of the rigidity of Soviet soldiers in occupied Germany.

In fact, according to documents, such facts were considered "emergency incidents and immoral phenomena." With violence over the civilian population of Germany, they struggled at all levels, and marauders and rapists fell under the Tribunal. There are still no exact numbers on this issue, not all documents are still declassified, but in the report of the Military Prosecutor of the 1st Belarusian Front on illegal actions against civilians for the period from April 22 to May 5, 1945 there are such numbers: for seven armies Front for 908.5 thousand people recorded 124 crimes, of which 72 rape. 72 cases for 908.5 thousand. What two million can we talk about?

Mrauding and violence over the civilian population was also in Western occupation zones. The mortar of Naum Orlov wrote his memoirs: "The British-guarded British rolled between the teeth of the chewing gum - what was for us in a novelty - and fell in front of each other with their trophies, highly raising their hands down with wrist clock ...".

Osmar Uyat, Australian military correspondent, who can hardly suspect in bias to Soviet soldiers, wrote in 1945: "In the Red Army, harsh discipline dominates. Robberies, rape and bullying here are no more than in any other occupation zone. Wild stories about atrocities pop up due to exaggerations and distortions of individual cases under the influence of nervousness caused by the irregularity of the manner of Russian soldiers and their love for vodka. One woman who told me most of the fairy tales about the cruelings of Russians, from which the hair stands on end, in the end was forced to admit that the only testimony she saw his own eyes was how drunk Russian officers were shot from pistols in the air and Bottles ... ".

The weak floor during all armed conflicts in the world were the most unprotected and subject to bullying, murder of the layer of the population. Staying on the territories occupied by the enemy forces, young women became an object of sexual harassment and. Since the statistics of atrocities over women are conducted only from recently, it is not difficult to assume that in the entire history of mankind, the number of persons who were subjected to inhuman bullying will be many times more.

The greatest surge of bullying over the weak floor was celebrated during the Great Patriotic War, armed conflicts in Chechnya, anti-terrorist companies in the Middle East.

Displays all atrocities over women statistics, photos and video materials, as well as stories of eyewitnesses and victims of violence that can be found in.

Statistics of atrocities for women in times of the Second World War

The most inhuman in modern history were atrocities over women perfect during. The most perverted and terrible were atrocities of fascists over women. Statistics are about 5 million sacrifices.

At the seasured troops of the third Reich territories, the population until its complete release was subjected to cruel, and sometimes inhuman attitude from the occupiers. Of the enemy who were under the authority there were 73 million people. About 30-35% of them are a feminine different age.

Extreme cruelty differed at the brutality of the Germans over women - under the age of 30-35, they were "used" by German soldiers to meet sexual needs, and some of the threat of death worked in the brothels organized by the occupying authorities.

Statistics of atrocities for women shows that the older representatives are most often exported by the fascists for forced work in Germany or went to concentration camps.

Many of the women suspected by the fascists in relations with the partisan underground were subjected to torture and were later shot. According to approximate estimates, each second of women on the territory of the former USSR during the occupation of part of its territory the Nazis experienced mockery of the invaders, there were many of them shot or.

Monstrous and atrocities of Soviet soldiers over women. Statistics as the Red Army progresses through the Germans previously captured by the Germans of Western Europe to Berlin gradually increased. Nitrogenated and covered on all horrors created by the troops of Hitler in the Russian land of Soviet soldiers spurred the thirst for revenge and some orders of the highest military leadership.

The victorious procession of the Soviet Army according to eyewitness testimonies was accompanied by pogroms, robbery and often group rapes of women, girls.

Chechen atrocities over women: statistics, photo

Throughout all armed conflicts in the territory of the Chechen Republic Ichkeria (Chechnya), the atrocities of the Chechens over women were distinguished. At the militants occupied during the three Chechen territories, genocide was conducted in relation to the Russian population - women and young girls raped, tied and killed.

Some of the retreat were taken to then under the threat of reprisals to demand from native redemption. For the Chechens, they represented nothing but a product that can be beneficial or exchanged. The women who were driven or bought from captivity told about the terrible handling of them from the militants - they felt a little, often beaten and raped.

For an attempt to run to run immediately reprisal. In just the entire period of the confrontation of the federal troops and Chechen militants suffered and more than 5 thousand women were sick and killed.

War in Yugoslavia - Atrocities over women

The war in the Balkan Peninsula subsequently led to the split state of the war in the Balkan Peninsula, in which the female population was exposed to the scary bullying, torture ,. The cause of ill-treatment was a different religion among the opposing parties, ethnic distribution.

In the consequence of the Yugoslav wars, the Yugoslav wars between Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, Albanians, Wikipedia, assesses the number of those who died in the amount of 127,084 people. Of these, about 10-15% accounted for women from the civilian population, shot, tortured or those who died as a result of air strikes and artillery shelling.

ISIL atrocities over women: statistics, photo

In the modern world, the most terrible in their inhumanity and cruelty are the atrocities of ISIL over women who were at the territories controlled terrorists. Of particular cruelty is the weak floor representatives not belonging to the Islamic faith.

Women and minor girls are kidnapped, after which many repeatedly resell in the black market slaves. Many of them are forcibly forced to sexual relations with militants - sex jihad. Those who refuse intimate intimacy publicly executed.

In sexual slavery, the women who fell into sexual slavery take away the future militants from which they are preparing for future militants, forced to fulfill all the difficult work on the house, join intimate proximity, both with the owner and with his friends. Trying to escape and caught brutally beaten, after which many are subject to public execution.

Today, more than 4,000 women in various ages, and nationalities are kidnapped by the militants of ISIL. The fate of many of them is not known. An approximate number of women of victims, including those killed during the largest wars of the twentieth century, is presented in the table:

The name of the war, its duration	Approximate number of women victims of conflict
Great Patriotic War 1941-1945	5 000 000
Yugoslav Wars 1991-2001	15 000
Chechen military companies	5 000
Anti-terrorist companies against ISIL in the Middle East 2014 - to today	4 000
TOTAL	5 024 000

Conclusion

Military conflicts arising on Earth lead to the fact that the statistics of atrocities over women without the intervention of international organizations and manifestations of the humanities of the opposing parties to women in the future will grow steadily.
