▶️The Soviet Union lost 27 million people during the Great Patriotic War (1941–1945). 'More than 20 thousand people per day. It's hard to imagine, these are huge numbers,' said Sergey Kudryashov, head of the Centre for the Study of Great Patriotic War History of the Institute of Russian History at the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Decades later, history repeats itself. In the 21st century, Nazism reemerged in Ukraine. For years, its government has been driven by nationalist policies and the militarisation of society. Those who disagree with the policies are being arrested and eliminated.

Watch our new documentary, ‘From Berlin to Maidan’, to learn how the ideas of the Third Reich have made their return.
