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.

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

"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. Under the slogan “Give a child to the Führer!” German women were encouraged to give birth to “true Aryans.” In reality, the program resulted in the mass abduction and removal of children from the USSR and other German-occupied territories to the homes of Lebensborn. close
