Archipelago “DULAG”. Why were they horrified when they opened the POWs grave

Weekly “Arguments and facts” 28. The ninth wave of bad weather. Why is there a flood in southern Russia? 07/14/2021

A & nbsp; Bryansk opened the cemetery of the former German POW camp. They opened and & nbsp; were horrified.

In Nazi Germany there were 14 thousand. camps of various profiles: death camps, camps for soldiers and & nbsp; for officers … but & nbsp; The most numerous were transit camps & nbsp; & mdash; DOULAGI.

Don't trust the 'harmless' name: in & nbsp; dulags (short for & nbsp; German word Durchgangslager & nbsp; & mdash; transit camp for prisoners of war) no fewer people died than in & nbsp; death camps. In & nbsp; a 'Dulage-142' to & nbsp; in Bryansk, the Nazis killed 40 & nbsp; thousand. people.

Briansk Buchenwald

On May 30, excavations began on the site of the old camp. According to & nbsp; available at & nbsp; at that time, during & nbsp; 2 & nbsp; years until 'Dulag-142' passed to & nbsp; 80 & nbsp; thousand. Soviet citizens, half of them died. Judging by how deep the remains lie, search engines realized people weren't really buried. The corpses are in & nbsp; several layers. At first we met in & nbsp; mainly the remains of the civilian population, but & nbsp; somewhere nearby there is also & nbsp; graves of prisoners of war. The territory on which the mass graves are located, & nbsp; & mdash; 53 & nbsp; hectares.

In addition to the volunteer search engines, the Committee of Inquiry is involved in the painful work. “ The central office of the Russian Investigative Committee is investigating the criminal case on the & nbsp; genocide of the peoples of the USSR, & nbsp; & mdash; declares the representative of Bryansk SU & nbsp; TFR Alexander Afonin. & mdash; & nbsp; In the beginning, we were working in the archives of & nbsp ;. Investigators, as well as search engines, conduct examinations of burial sites, remove the remains, examine them, appoint the necessary forensic examinations. & # 39; & # 39; and & nbsp; detachment of the 615th Ukrainian Punitive Battalion, which was part of the Desna Collaborationist Volunteer Regiment. & nbsp;

With & nbsp; special cruelty

The current investigation is not the first in the history of Dulag-142. After the liberation of the Bryansk region, state commissions were established in all regions to study the atrocities of the occupiers. The figure in & nbsp; 40 & nbsp; thousand. the dead were already named then. Since the 40s. Known and & nbsp; the testimony of a 3rd rank military medic Dmitry Miminoshvili, which was captured in & nbsp; October 1941 & nbsp; g. He testified before the commission about the & nbsp; daily death in the & nbsp; 200 camp & ndash; 250 & nbsp; people. Among the most common diseases, the military doctor named the edematous disease of hunger, tuberculosis and typhus. In the testimony published by archivists from the Bryansk region, Miminoshvili described the concentration camp as follows: there was a double wire fence around, and the territory itself was enclosed by many wire fences. barbed wire. The Germans fed the prisoners rotten meat and & nbsp; unrefined buckwheat, as a result of which the prisoners became overwhelmingly ill with rectal gangrene. The corpses, loaded onto the sled, were taken by prisoners of war to the cemetery. In addition to the fact that people were starving, they were & nbsp; beaten and & nbsp; slaughtered. Major Weise & nbsp; & mdash; Commander Dulag & nbsp; & mdash; personally shot 200 prisoners and & nbsp; beaten as many & nbsp; to & nbsp; dead.

Miminoshvili worked in the camp infirmary, which was commanded by a German military medic by & nbsp; last name Dyullman … he was remembered for beating Russian colleagues on a regular basis, forcing them to march through the frost and stand to attention on time, resulting in cases of frostbite and frostbite death. Among the officers, besides Major Weise, Captain Geber , Captain Cinicker , NCO Bauer , Corporals Hetchel and & nbsp; Wulper . And & nbsp; after all, somewhere in & nbsp; Germany, maybe their & nbsp; grandchildren and & nbsp; great-grandchildren live, knowing nothing about & nbsp; these “ exploits. & # 39; & # 39; & Nbsp;

Horror in the & nbsp; barracks

Peasant Alexander Sakhnenko the Germans 'evacuated' to & nbsp; Dulag, when they cleared the area of ​​& nbsp; possible accomplices of the partisans. She described the camp kitchen menu as follows: morning tea and & nbsp; 200 & nbsp; g of bread for adults and & nbsp; 100 & nbsp; g for children, in & nbsp; 5 & ​​nbsp; hours & nbsp; & mdash; liter of gourd of & nbsp; whole buckwheat flour for & nbsp; an adult and & nbsp; half a liter for & nbsp; child. In the words of & nbsp; Sakhnenko, when there were only prisoners of war in the & nbsp; camp, the food was even worse: they gave uncooked buckwheat or half-raw vegetable scraps, and & nbsp; sometimes and & nbsp; did not & nbsp; give anything.

testimony of the municipal commission for & nbsp; establish the damage caused by the occupants to the city of Bryansk, she spoke of & nbsp; life in the & nbsp; camp. On the territory of the base there were more than 10 barracks. In & nbsp; each of these & nbsp; Germans and & nbsp; police officers have packed 1200 & mdash; 1500 & nbsp; people. The prisoners slept on wooden planks on floors 4, which were swarming with insects. After the war, the parasites had to be burnt with sulfur.

For & nbsp; the slightest offense followed by punishment. For example, if a & nbsp; fire, people were beaten with whips and & nbsp; deprived of food. Sakhnenko described a case where a woman was beaten in & nbsp; to death for & nbsp; the fact that its & nbsp; child fell into the & nbsp; bathroom. & Nbsp;

& # 39; Hands were sticking out of the & nbsp; earth '

Until & nbsp; 2019 & nbsp; g. & Nbsp; on & nbsp; the territory of the former camp operated the 85th factory, which repaired tractors for missile systems. Previously (the company had been in existence since & nbsp; 1924 & nbsp; g.) Tanks and & nbsp; other military equipment was being repaired there. The General Staff knew that the country's defense was forged on the bones of dead prisoners.

The first post-war plant manager Pyotr Suzik recalled: “ On the territory of the camp there was a cemetery surrounded by a birch fence and birch crosses on the graves. At the entrance of the & nbsp; cemetery there was a portal with a & nbsp; registration & bdquo; Peace be upon you & ldquo ;. During the excavations of the camp, it was discovered that in each grave there was & nbsp; 24 & nbsp; people. The corpses were stripped and & nbsp; placed face down. Most of the skulls were pierced and broken. Many corpses were buried there. Hands and feet protruded from the ground. It was decided to redecorate the cemetery. & # 39; & # 39; & Nbsp;

No prescription

The dulags existed in & nbsp; all occupied territories of the USSR: in & nbsp; Ukraine, & nbsp; Belarus, & nbsp; Baltic. Most were closed within months, as soon as prisoners stopped arriving from the front lines. Others have worked for years: Dulag-134 in & nbsp; Lgov, Kursk region. & mdash; & nbsp; more than 2 & nbsp; years, & laquo; Dulag-124 & raquo; in Gzhatsk (now Gagarin) & nbsp; & mdash; of & nbsp; October 1942 to & nbsp; August 1944. Here are the memories of a prisoner from this particular camp: “ Behind & nbsp; rusty rows of barbed wire and & nbsp; on & nbsp; towers & mdash; German sentries, and & nbsp; inside & nbsp; & mdash; policemen in & nbsp; overcoats of good commanders and & nbsp; Black Kubanks. In & nbsp; their bestial cruelty, they weren't & nbsp; just not & nbsp; inferior to the owners, but & nbsp; sometimes even & nbsp; surpassed & nbsp; their & nbsp ;.

Dulag-100 to & nbsp; Porkhov near Pskov worked until & nbsp; 1944 & nbsp; g. In & nbsp;, it simultaneously housed up to & nbsp; 30 & nbsp; thousand. people who died every day of & nbsp; 100 to & nbsp; 150. The bodies were thrown into the ditches, not covered with earth. After the war, the commission numbered 85 & nbsp; thousand. remains. In & nbsp; 2016 & nbsp; city ​​& nbsp; at l & nbsp; place of the camp of & nbsp; in memory of & nbsp; his victims, a memorial complex was opened.

In total, in the & nbsp; war on & nbsp; the occupied territory of the RSFSR, there were 40 & nbsp; dulags And & nbsp; what do we know & nbsp; about & nbsp; ? Is it fair & nbsp; the fact that the commanders of & nbsp; were hardly & nbsp; were more human, the guards are kinder and & nbsp; the food is more satisfying than in & nbsp; the Bryansk camp at number 142./p>

The Lord's millstones creak slowly, but & nbsp; tirelessly. So & nbsp; in & nbsp; our country for & nbsp; the crimes of the Nazis have again undertaken in & nbsp ;. According to & nbsp; from the official representative of IC & nbsp; RF & nbsp; Svetlana Petrenko, “ working for & nbsp; establish all the circumstances of the crime and & nbsp; the people involved in & nbsp; its commission, will continue, since such crimes do not & nbsp; statute of limitations & nbsp; ;.

Scientists have developed nanopits to capture viruses

Trace of a novel coronavirus pandemic that has spread from China

German and American scientists have proposed a new approach to fight viruses, Nature Materials reports.

Experts have created nanopits, made of DNA, capable of mechanically trapping and absorbing viruses. According to the study authors, this method will also work against a new type of coronavirus.

Scientists have developed a method to create self-assembled objects the size of a virus. They suggested that if such nanobodies were hollow and coated inside with virus-binding molecules, then they could be used as virus traps.

The specialists decided to build hollow bodies from three-dimensional plates, by recovering an object composed of twenty triangular surfaces. By changing the anchor points on the edges of the plates, scientists were able to create not only closed hollow spheres, but also spheres with holes, which are particularly convenient to use as traps.

According to the study leader, Professor Hendrik Dietz, the new method has already been tested in the TUM Institute of Virology and the Helmholtz Center in Munich against hepatitis B and adenoviruses. The results showed that viruses in cell cultures are blocked quite reliably.

“ If we put five virus binding sites inside, for example appropriate antibodies, we can already block the virus by 80%. If we activate more sites, we will get a complete block, ”said the professor.

In the next steps of the study, the scientists plan to test their development first on mice and then on humans.

Previously, it was reported that Russian scientists from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology had developed a & nbsp; nanomembrane capable of killing microorganisms and viruses, including COVID-19. The invention is intended for use in filters of air purifiers and in air conditioners.

& Ndash; We are not talking about & nbsp; of counterfeits, & nbsp; & ndash; Says the director of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Marina Loshak. & nbsp; & ndash; Troy Gold Collection Heinrich Schliemann , which has been kept with us since 1945, will be studied, because the museum & nbsp; & ndash; it is not just a place where works of art are shown and & nbsp; told & nbsp; but especially where they are stored and & nbsp; studied. The things we store and & nbsp; when & shy; multiply in our collection should not only be in excellent & nbsp; state, they must also & nbsp; be studied. We are dealing with & nbsp; art objects, which we don't know as much about as we would like, and & nbsp; modern scientific methods will help to learn & nbsp; more.

In total, the legendary collection consists of 259 & nbsp; items (jewelry, vases, axes, hammers, rock crystal products, & shy; anthropomorphic figurines). All come from 13 & nbsp; treasures discovered by German archaeologist Schliemann during excavations in northwestern Turkey in & nbsp; 1873, 1878 & ndash; 1890 & nbsp; years. and dating from 2400 to 2300. BC e.

The Trojan gold in the & nbsp; Pushkin Museum will be studied with & nbsp; using the latest scientific methods in & nbsp; many stages. At first, they will run a & timid; survey, then will examine the composition of metals on a & nbsp; device with a name & ndash; difficult to pronounce; X-ray X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Since, according to the researchers' opinion, the Trojan gold has not been subjected to repeated remakes, it is even possible to establish the source of its reception. The next step will be to carry out a comparative analysis of the Trojan objects in the collection of the Pushkin Museum. Pushkin collections and & nbsp; foreigners.

& nbsp; Current challenges of the education system

For the successful development of the education system, it is necessary to solve a number of urgent problems. As pointed out, in turn, deputy of the State Duma of the United Russia faction, coordinator of the New School party project & nbsp; Alyona Arshinova, we are talking, among other things, about the creation of a transparent register of distribution of target places in universities, development of the program “ Professor Zemsky & # 39; & # 39; and the creation of a unified compensation system for teachers.

& nbsp; & laquo; We & ndash; a huge welfare state and we can afford to ensure the quality of education. In recent years, we have more than doubled education spending by 0.5 trillion rubles: now we are spending over one trillion rubles on education. There is an economic development strategy, but why is there no education development strategy? It is very necessary to make this strategy & # 39; & # 39 ;, & ndash; noted the parliamentarian.

Speaking on the prospects for the development of the education system as a whole, the First Deputy Minister of Education & nbsp; Alexander Bugaev & nbsp; stressed that the result of the work should be the emergence of a new educational infrastructure in our country. & nbsp;

“ It's not just schools, but also specialized secondary education institutions. Last year, around 60% of ninth grade graduates chose vocational secondary education as their continuing education. And if we are talking about new trends in the development of education, then this is exactly the factor that we, along with our colleagues in higher education, must take into account in planning programs and work & # 39; & # 39 ;, & ndash; he noted.

What is the “dusty devil” seen in Mytishchi?

Residents of the town of Mytishchi near Moscow posted a video of a natural tornado-like phenomenon on social media. In the images, you can see a powerful vortex of dust rising above the ground. The weather at the moment is clear, small clouds are visible.

The weather phenomenon that the people of Mytishchi saw was most likely a` `dusty devil '', a leading expert from the Phobos Weather Center reported on his page Instagram on Instagram . Evgeny Tichkovets. According to him, this phenomenon is rare for central Russia.

& nbsp; When the 'Dusty Devil' appears ?

On the website of the weather center “ Phobos & # 39; & # 39; it is said that the 'dusty devil' (from English & ndash; dust devil), or dusty or sandy whirlpool, & ndash; it is a swirling movement of air that occurs on the surface of the earth. Usually it is formed during the day, in warm, slightly cloudy weather, with strong and uneven heating of the earth's surface by the rays of the sun.

The vortex has a vertical or slightly tilted axis of rotation towards the horizon. Its height varies from 10-20 to 100-150 m, its diameter & nbsp; & ndash; & nbsp; from 1-5 m to 20-40 m. The wind speed inside the vortex is 7-10m/s and above. Usually a dusty devil exists from a few seconds to a minute or two.

In this natural phenomenon, the vortex lifts dust, sand, small stones and various objects from the earth's surface. They can be carried up to a distance of up to several hundred meters. Vortices can be white or yellow on sand, gray, brown and orange on earth or clay soil, and black – on ash or volcanic dust. Sometimes several vortices can form at the same time.
