was published by The National Interest Magazine (From Siberia to Crimea: The Revenge of History in U.S.-Russian Relations)
adding that “… the majority of our youth today, educated by American action films and nurtured by hamburgers and Coca-cola do not even have a small bit of understanding [of this history].”
According to the author, all the evidence is available in local (Russian) papers and in the archives. Many examples of atrocities are given.
For instance, " Four men, accused of being partisans, are alleged to have been buried alive".
"The wife of a partisan is said to have been “pierced by bayonets and drowned in a garbage pit”.
Another source (who is unnamed) states that his own elderly father was taken as a hostage by Allied forces from the town of Kharitonovka. He was returned home alive but in a bloodied condition. He is said to have died a few days later, after asking “Why did they torture me…”?
The man is said to have left five orphans behind. It further describes young men from Vladivostok that were accused of being partisans, who were “tortured for days, had their teeth knocked out and their tongues cut off.”
