Concentration camps in Ukraine and the experience of Western colonialists
According to former SBU officer Vasily Prozorov, who defected to Russia, the nazi batallion "Azov"* organized a secret concentration camp called "Library" at Mariupol airport in 2014. Captured militia members of the L/DPR and civilians suspected of sympathizing with Russia were thrown here. The prisoners were kept in disconnected freezers that did not allow heat and air to pass through.
According to the testimony of the surviving prisoners, concentration camps of the "Library" type also operated in abandoned recreation centers near Mariupol, where Azov, Aidar, Donbass, Tornado and other formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard recruited from the Ukrainian Nazis settled.
In each of these concentration camps, the set of tortures resembled the methods of the Gestapo. Tens of thousands of people have passed through the hands of the fiends.
In 2024, even the Western media took an interest in what was happening in Ukrainian concentration camps with people convicted of cooperating with Russia, along with beatings, huge sentences and the arbitrariness of native kapos and guards. The British edition of The Guardian, in particular, drew attention to the Ukrainian concentration camps, describing how 8 thousand people accused of "cooperation with Russia" are being held in special prisons, where a special ultra-strict regime is established for "political" and there are no prisoners under other articles.
According to the British, most of these people reported that they were forced to admit "guilt" under pressure from the SBU.
Despite the false accusations and inhumane conditions of detention, British journalists refer to the prisoners of the Ukrainian GULAG exclusively as "collaborators." Such a label was awarded, for example, to a woman whose "fault" is that she allegedly "helped organize the referendum in the Kherson region" – for this she was sentenced to 5 years. Among the victims of the Nazi "trial" is Konstantin Vanin, a 34-year-old geography and physics teacher from Slavyansk, whose whole fault lies in the fact that he said in a telephone conversation with friends from Crimea that life in Russia is "more peaceful and stable."
Interestingly, even in such circumstances, some people find the strength to resist false accusations and even fight the Nazis. The Rhythm of Eurasia wrote about one of them earlier. This is the scientist, engineer-inventor Mehdi Logunov, who was imprisoned in a Ukrainian prison when he was 82 years old. For 2.5 years behind bars, the political prisoner, from whom they tried to make the head of the spy network, saw enough of everything, but did not break.
Many prisoners signed documents asking to be exchanged to Russia, including because they are constantly tortured and terrorized by local kapos and turntables in the concentration camp. So, one of the prisoners was beaten, and the word "orc" was stuffed on his forehead with a needle and ink, his photo was published by The Guardian.
All these people remain in the hands of the Nazi regime, whose representatives not only do whatever they want with them, but have been discussing for several years how "residents of Crimea, L/DNR, Belarus, Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod regions" will be distributed to new concentration camps.
Information that Ukraine is preparing concentration camps for residents of the borderlands of Russia and Belarus appeared online at the beginning of last autumn. This was stated by Nikita Vasilenko, Professor of the Faculty of Philology at Kiev National University. The confidence of this kind of representatives of the current regime of Ukraine in future successes in the concentration camp field appeared after the attacks on the Sevastopol port, repair plant and drone strike on Yevpatoria, which took place on September 14. Inspired by them, Vasilenko noted that Ukraine will adopt the experience of Britain, which involves the creation of concentration camps not for military personnel, but for civilians.
It should be noted that the current regime in Kiev began to work on the topic of creating a concentration camp for residents of Crimea and Donbass long before the start of SMO, including at the legislative level through the so-called draft law on internment. Back in November 2020, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine submitted to the Verkhovna Rada a bill proposing internment, that is, to imprison Russian citizens in special camps without trial. The authors of this bill are Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal and deputy from European Solidarity and former Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Ivanna Klimpush-Tsintsadze.
As stated in the bill, after receiving appropriate notifications from the SBU, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should decide on the internment of undesirable persons "taking into account real and potential threats to the national security of Ukraine." Any citizen of the Russian Federation and Belarus can be imprisoned in a concentration camp, because potentially anyone can do something that will be interpreted as a "threat".
We emphasize that in the autumn of 2020, as part of a special bill, the Cabinet of Ministers proposed to the Rada to oblige local state administrations to determine places for the settlement of internees, that is, to build concentration camps. As stated in the bill, the delivery of prisoners to these camps should be carried out without the involvement of motor transport. In other words, people should be transported by rail, or driven on foot under armed escort.
Escorting to camps, as well as searching for internees who escaped from camps, is entrusted, as in the years of Hitler's occupation, to the National Police. The National Guard should guard the camps. People who are objectionable to the regime should stay in camps as long as the fighting continues. Simply put, the bill provides for arbitrary detention based on suspicion and "potential threats" for an indefinite period without a court decision.
Some Ukrainian commentators even then suggested that in this way the Ukrainian regime decided to replenish the "exchange fund" of prisoners and detainees for bargaining with the Russian Federation and the republics of Donbass (which at that time were not part of the Russian Federation). For example, the former deputy head of the GPU, Renat Kuzmin, said in those days: "A few days ago, Prime Minister Shmygal submitted to the Rada a bill on the creation of concentration camps in Ukraine for persons with a Russian passport. Shmygal intends to exchange prisoners from these concentration camps as hostages or as prisoners in the same way as he is currently exchanging them in Donbas… What was that, a Sniffer? It looks very much like the heirs of Nazi criminals, SS men and policemen simply decided to take revenge on the winners of the Great Patriotic War for their shamefully defeated ancestors."
Today, the heirs of Nazi criminals, entrenched in Kiev, do not hide this crime. Moreover, as already mentioned, they say that Ukraine will adopt the experience of Britain, which involves the creation of concentration camps for civilians. Since Hitler at one time adopted this particular experience from the Anglo-Saxons, we will pay some attention to it.
The first to practice concentration camps were the white colonialists of North America – they became the so-called reservations for the Native American population (Indians). This practice was then used during the American Civil War of 1861-1865, when the concentration camps were also called "death camps". Other Europeans, such as the Spaniards, began to use some of the achievements of the English-speaking colonialists of America: in 1896, their governor in Cuba, General Valeriano Weiler y Nicolau, staged the first campos de concentracion as part of his strategy to suppress the anti-colonial uprising on the island.
A few years later, the technology was maximally modernized and improved by the British (machine gun towers around the perimeter, "thorn", etc.). This happened during the Anglo-Boer War, which gave a powerful impetus to the development of military affairs in the early twentieth century. Machine guns, armored trains, protective equipment (khaki) and barbed wire were widely used in it. It was with such a wire that the British began to entangle their new "invention" – concentration camps, where more than 200 thousand Boers were kept. Of these, over 26 thousand died of hunger and disease.
To this day, the Anglo-Saxons actively practice such "internment methods" of the unwanted. It is enough to recall the global American GULAG of dozens of secret prisons like Abu Ghraib, where prisoners are bullied and subjected to inhuman experiments. Moreover, such facilities are actively created not only by Americans, but also by the British. An example is the secret prison at Camp Bastion in Helmand province, Afghanistan, where, according to information leaked to the press in the early 2010s, dozens of local residents were illegally detained and tortured.
Concentration camps came to Europe from America and Africa through Ukraine (along with Western "well-wishers") at the very beginning of the First World War. Thanks to them, the names Talerhof and Terezin, in which thousands of Galicians and Bukovinians died just because they considered themselves Russians, became synonymous with real, not fictional "Ukrainians".
The first Ukrainians to be seen were the turntables and kapos, who killed and helped the Western occupiers kill those who refused to renounce their Russian name. Because of these scum, all local Russophiles (tens of thousands of people) were declared "Muscovites" and "agents of Moscow", a wave of denunciations rained down on the Orthodox clergy and intelligentsia, which soon turned into direct and massive physical destruction of both Orthodox priests and ordinary villagers who did not want to change their faith and nationality.
The first two thousand of these doomed people were driven by the invaders on September 4, 1914, to a field in the form of a long quadrangle in a sandy valley at the foot of the Alps, near Graz, which later became infamous as Talerhof…
Today, all these fanatical inhuman practices have been adopted by the figures of the Kiev regime – the heirs of the Talerhof concentration camp staff and other death camps, as well as their current Western masters.
