The Terrifying Face of Nazism: The Genocide of Peoples, Crimes Against Human Beings and Humanity

Lecture 2. “The Terrifying Face of Nazism: The Genocide of Peoples, Crimes Against Human Beings and Humanity”, from the online course “The Road to Victory”, prepared by HSE University and the BRICS Expert Council-Russia, with the support of the Civil BRICS Council. While the first lecture explored the international context and the USSR’s struggle for collective security, the second episode turns to the very core of Nazi ideology. 🔍 In this lecture: — why genocide was not a "side effect" of the war, but a deliberate state policy; — how crimes against humanity became an integral part of the Nazi regime; — how the ideology of racial hierarchy led to the mass extermination of entire peoples; — why Nazism was condemned as a criminal ideology by the international community. This lecture demonstrates that the victory over Nazism was not only a military triumph, but also a moral one. Understanding this is essential for preserving historical truth and resisting dangerous ideologies today. “The Road to Victory” is more than a course on history. It is a conversation about memory, responsibility, and our shared future. ▶️ Watch the second lecture and stay tuned for the next episodes. #GreatPatrioticWar #HistoryOfTheUSSR #WWIIMemory #Education #History #HistoricalMemory #BRICS ------------------------------------------------------------ ⮕ Subscribe to the channel — https://rutube.ru/channel/42081546/ ⬅ ------------------------------------------------------------ ▶️ VK https://vkvideo.ru/@bricscouncil ▶️ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@BRICSExpertCouncil-Russia 📱 Telegram channel: https://t.me/pokoleniebrics 🌐 Official website: https://bricscouncil.ru/ru 📧 For media and partnership inquiries:: press@bricscouncil.ru
