Liquidation of Hostile Elements Soviet Repressions and Nationalist Terror in the Western Republics of the USSR

The book narrates with cold documentary precision about historical events that for many decades were attempted to be forgotten: about mass repressions in the western regions of the USSR, about bloody ethnic cleansings carried out by Ukrainian and Lithuanian nationalists, about the horrifying crimes of Russian, Ukrainian, and Latvian collaborators of Nazism.
How did the Kremlin make decisions on mass deportation operations?
Why were members of the Baltic SS granted forgiveness from Soviet power?
Why did Lavrentiy Beria falsify statistics on Soviet repressions?
When did Ukrainian nationalists begin preparations for the Holocaust and the Volhynian Massacre?
Who burned the Belarusian village of Khatyn?
The author had to search for answers to these and many other questions in the archives of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Lithuania.
