On November 20, 1945, the International Military Tribunal began its work in Nuremberg, which indicted the main Nazi criminals. For the first time in the entire history of the Earth, people judged the instigators of war. They were tried, convicted and executed. The Nuremberg Trials say a lot. But so far, the point remains that, o what few people know.

Recently, the Italians shared unique information, they discovered an ancient prison where Russian prisoners of war were held during the First World War. 100 years of this history was considered a legend. But by the centenary of the end of the First World War, Trieste, like many cities in the world, declassified its archives, and the legend came to life. What did the Russians do here? Why were they carefully concealed from the whole world? Why the prison, where the Russians were kept, walled up? close

The International Military Tribunal began its work on November 20, 1945. The Allies were against the trial of the Nazi leaders. Churchill and Roosevelt, as well as other prominent statesmen of the West called for dealing with them without trial and investigation. The Soviet leadership sought the organization of an international court over the leaders of fascist Germany. A common language was found far from immediately. But, despite everything, the main thing happened - the Nuremberg trial began. close

The war came to Pskov when Vera Tsoblina was 8 years old. Instead of school, she learned to survive on the streets of her hometown. The winter of 1941-1942 was particularly cold. Children often ran to the railway to look for pieces of coal that did not burn to the end in the locomotive furnaces. Once during such a "foray" children saw stacks stacked along the canvas of the railway. They thought it was wood. But these were the bodies of Soviet prisoners of war frozen in ice – here they unloaded a whole train in which no one survived. These terrible "echelons of death" came to Pskov throughout the first military winter. close

Before the Nuremberg trial began, prosecutors had to make sure that all 22 high-ranking Nazis were sane and able to stand trial. For this, psychiatrists were involved, the chief among them is the American doctor Douglas Kelly. The results of the psychiatrist's study were striking. And it completely changed his life. He has left the profession. On January 1, 1958, 12 years after the Nuremberg Trials, Dr. Kelly committed suicide by taking potassium cyanide. In the same way he left the patient Hermann Goering on the eve of his execution, October 15, 1946. close

A film about the Tokyo Trial (1946-1948) over Japanese war criminals. What plans for the destruction of the world was hatched and implemented by Japan during the Second World War? Why did the US want to play a leading role in this process? Who was on the bench of the defendants and why was there not an emperor of Japan among them? How did the verdict of the Tribunal “cold war” between the USSR and the United States? Why is it that the process, which lasted almost 2.5 years, is now almost completely forgotten? close
