Více o knize

The collaboration between approximately one million Soviet citizens and the Nazis emerged from a complex mix of aversion to Bolshevism and a desire for freedom, particularly among groups like Ukrainians, Crimeans, and Caucasians. Some Russians also yearned for the return of tsarist rule.

The aftermath of the Third Reich's collapse left the aspirations of these collaborators in jeopardy, culminating in a tragic conclusion.
