In the USSR women were punished for the relationship with the German occupiers

History 07/03/20 in the USSR punished women for liaison with the German invaders

the farther from us the Great Patriotic war, the more contrast and definitely, without semitones, we perceived the events of that time. Moreover, many of the pages of that history still remain virtually unknown. For example, about how people survived the occupation. Especially women — they are the invaders looked upon as his lawful prey.

different degrees of “voluntariness”

In Simferopol the German troops entered November 1, 1941. And in the first days to identify those who are clearly and openly welcomed the “liberators”. It was not only people, for something had “tooth” for the Soviet regime. Many turned out to be careerists, to calculate that there is a chance to grab some of the good things of life and those who were guided by simple and clear thought: it is necessary to get.

“the Disgust in me Horny women: on November 4 the most beautiful and groomed women walking around with German officers, emphasizing his intimacy with them… easier Then women got in touch with the German soldiers, and after the Romanians. Women our are so affordable that Batman was looking for them (and even now sometimes looking for) openly and without embarrassment, asked passers-by: “Where there are women? Let them go to our officers for their hospitality and music” — this line from the diary of a simferopolets Chrysanthus Lashkevych. The diary is kept in the state Archives of the Republic of Crimea — the notes of these former dentist, who was already over eighty, led several years of occupation.

of Course, all these relationships were different degrees of “voluntariness”. Some women wanted to secure life, others were forced to find “patrons” to, for example, not to get to heavy work or in lists to export to Germany. Others couldn’t find other way to feed their families.

Nikolai Dashkin who worked before the war as an accountant in the Crimean management on struggle with landslides, in his memoirs, recalled that at Yalta the scale of the “amorous Affairs” of local women with the occupiers was that “when it took on a mass character, even shame has lost its sharpness.” In Yalta, a city where the search for products has become the main occupation for many of the famine was worse than the shame. The Germans even refused the idea to establish in Yalta the house of tolerance — so many were women and girls, will do anything for a piece of bread. “At the end of 1942, organized at a city hotel dance parties with the participation of school girls and German soldiers,’ said Deskin. — Obviously, to reach those high school girls that was in the direction of prostitution.”

Looking ahead, is to say that after the liberation of Crimea none of these women were not forgotten. They are reported to the NKVD friends, neighbors, even relatives. It happened that someone accused of having a sexual relationship with the enemy, for lack of evidence the charges were released. And in fact, cohabitation with the enemy it was possible to “to bring under article”. Such examples are many in the Crimean editions of scientific documentary series of books “Rehabilitated by history”. For example, the 24-year-old Evdokia Savkin from Leninsky district, was sentenced to 5 years in the camps for being “in the occupation period cohabited with the German and Romanian officers.” 31-year-old elementary school teacher Zoe Kiba got 10 years in labor camp because “led a riotous life with German officers”. Irina Dubinina-Bondarchuk 21 years for cohabitation with the agent SD and travel with him to the Czech Republic was sentenced to 25 years in the camps and confiscation of property.

“spared Not the old woman”

the Presence in the Crimean cities and villages of the women available did not change anything with respect to the occupants to the rest. Rape has become a routine of life, such as “raids” soldier on apartments and houses and the removal of the property in the eyes of the owners.

“the Captain of the 8th squadron of the 55th Romanian army naked was brutally raped 14-year-old Isla, in a serious condition, she was sent to the hospital. I have also been raped with the part of the Romanian soldiers and officers”, — the testimony of a resident of Kerch Polina Sirotko (she used to work as an economist in the research Institute for fisheries), joined in an act of the State Commission for establishment and investigation of crimes, produced by the German fascist invaders in Kerch.

In the assembled after the war by the historian Boris Volfson memories of the Crimean people mention, what happens to women if they refused to “favor” that showed the Nazis. They can be killed “legally”. So, in the Dzhankoysky area 16-year-old girl, who refused the attentions of a German officer, was accused that she tried to look out for in the office of the secret documents. Long tortured and then shot. Another old Claudius ask Barannikov, was executed along with two children of German soldiers considered it an insult to the refusal to close and said that she stole things from him.

Among the evidence of violence against women in the Crimea there is a story about, to put it mildly, the strange preferences of the Romanians. For example, in Kerch 80-year-old Martha Butenko gave evidence to the Commission for investigation of Nazi atrocities that it broke into the apartment of the Romanians, led by an officer, robbed her and then “stripped naked and not calculate with old age, was raped. This was attended by the Romanians at the age of 24-25 years.”

Altinka Olga Shargorodska, diary, which is also located in the state Archives of Kazakhstan, in December 1941 described shook her event. In a communal apartment she and two neighbors were sitting in the kitchen, broke the Romanians demanded a Cup of tea with sugar. “When I got drunk that one of the Romanians demanded that Kovarska took him to his room. On refusal, he pushed her out the door and followed her. The poor old woman was subjected to violence, were not spared the 73-year-old woman.”

Boris Wolfson recorded the story of a survivor of the occupation of a resident of the village of Coating (Bulk) that under Theodosius Alexei Popov. The victim, a blast Furnace Baranov, he calls the “old lady of over 50 years.” The woman went to collect suHoi weeds and branches. “Two kilometers from Bulk ran into a group of Romanian soldier… How many of them participated in the rape, she does not know and does not remember how got home. And only three months out of the hospital.”

the Plight of women caught in slavery, was even worse. The Chairman of the Executive Committee of the beacon Salynsky district Council Nikolay Parulski reported by the Germans in the village of Bucks (now Hlazivka Leninsky district) concentration camp, where he had driven more than three hundred women and girls. Among them were the Crimean, a resident of the Kuban, Ukraine. “After a day of hard labor work night to let in the camp of German and Romanian soldiers, he said. Soldiers raped, beaten, infected with sexually transmitted diseases. Many tragic inscriptions left on the walls of these camps Martyr.”
