what your My grandmother said about Muscovites´
mass - rapes of Belarusians , Poles, Hungarians , Baltic , Serbian, etc. girls , some of them were 7- 9 years old ?
Western estimates of the traceable number of rape victims range from two hundred thousand to two million.
[116] Following the
Winter Offensive of 1945, mass rape by Soviet males occurred in all major cities taken by the Red Army.
Women were gang raped by as many as several dozen soldiers during the liberation of Poland. In some cases victims who did not hide in the basements all day were raped up to 15 times.
[75][117] According to historian
Antony Beevor, following the Red Army's capture of Berlin in 1945, Soviet troops raped German women and
girls as young as eight years old.[118]
The explanation of "revenge" is disputed by Beevor, at least with regard to the mass rapes. Beevor has written that
Red Army soldiers also raped Soviet and Polish women liberated from concentration camps, and he contends that this undermines the revenge explanation,[119] they were often committed by rear echelon units.
[120]
...the
rapes continued until the winter of 1947–48, when Soviet occupation authorities finally confined troops to strictly guarded posts and camps.
[122] Naimark concluded that "The social psychology of women and men in the Soviet zone of occupation was marked by the crime of rape from the first days of occupation, through the founding of the GDR in the fall of 1949, until, one could argue, the present."
[123]
According to
Richard Overy, the
Russians refused to acknowledge Soviet war crimes, partly "because they felt that much of it was justified vengeance against an enemy who committed much worse, and partly it was because they were writing the victors' history."
