"Lebensborn" - translated from German - "source of life". The organization was founded in 1935. According to the idea of the head of the SS Heinrich Himmler, the houses of Lebensborn were to be a place where unmarried women could secretly give birth to a child and leave it for the upbringing of the state.

The International Military Tribunal began its work on November 20, 1945. The Allies were against the trial of the Nazi leaders.

This man is on the list of 100 great diplomats who left a mark on the history of mankind. It was he, Count Ignatieff, at the end of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, who signed the Treaty of San Stefano, which liberated Bulgaria from five hundred years of Turkish slavery. Thanks to him, not only Bulgaria, but also Serbia, Montenegro and Romania became independent states. Without it, the map of not only Europe but also Russia would look different. In Bulgaria, Ignatiev is a national hero. At home, his name is almost unknown to anyone.
