[Regnum] The intelligence services of the Donetsk People's Republic have published documents from the archives of the State Security Committee, which testify to the mass genocide of residents of Donbass during the Great Patriotic War. The head of the regional department of the FSB, Lieutenant General Oleg Bolomozhnov, donated the documents to the Republican Museum of Local Lore in Donetsk.
According to declassified documents, the number of victims of the genocide of Donbass residents amounts to several thousand people, mostly women and children. The names of fascist collaborators, traitors who voluntarily went over to the German side for their own benefit, also became known.
“The materials transferred to the museum will be used to recognize the genocide of the people of Donbass by the Nazis and their accomplices from the OUN-UPA [Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists - Ukrainian Insurgent Army, an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation] during the Great Patriotic War,” the security officials explained.
The materials will complement the exposition of the Museum of the Great Patriotic War. According to general director Marina Maksimchuk, they will become “important exhibits that are necessary for educating the younger generation.”
The FSB added that work on analysis, assessment and digitization of information is ongoing and will continue in the future.
“The declassification and publication of the archival fund will become regular in order to restore historical justice and prevent a repetition of those terrible events,” the FSB regional department assured.

Russian Foreign Ministry said that “Biden’s monsters” insulted the memory of the victims of World War II
In the days when the world celebrates Victory Day over Nazism, the US presidential administration insulted the memory of millions of victims of World War II, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on May 8.
This is how she commented on the statements of White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who stated that during World War II, “the United States and our Ukrainian allies” joined forces to fight against the totalitarian regimes of Hitler and Stalin. Now Berlin is an ally of the United States, but the “threat from the East” remains, Jean-Pierre said. She made these statements in response to the question of why the United States does not condemn manifestations of Nazism in Ukraine and continues to sponsor the Kiev regime.
The statements of the press secretary of the US administration were not improvised, Jean-Pierre read them, which means that her words represent the official version of the US administration about the events of World War II, Zakharova emphasized.
“These people, God forgive me, pose a threat, first of all, to US citizens with their distorted consciousness and desire to destroy the consciousness of others. I have never heard such a terrible lie about the events of 80 years ago. “Biden’s monsters” insulted the memory of millions of victims of World War II. And they did it on the days when the world celebrates Victory Day!” — Zakharova wrote in her Telegram channel.
As Regnum reported, on May 8, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the foundations of state policy in the field of historical education. The document defines the goals, principles and mechanisms for implementing Russian state policy in the field of historical education.
The strategy involves a unified methodology for teaching history, starting from the preschool level, and coordination of efforts in the fight against the West’s use of falsification of history as a weapon. The President, in particular, ordered the replacement of foreign educational platforms with domestic ones.
The West has been using Nazism and Nazis in the fight against Russia for a long time and does not intend to abandon this approach, military-political expert Boris Rozhin noted in April 2024.
