Of 230,000 Italians left on the Eastern front almost 100,000 did not come back home. Testimonies and memoirs from surviving veterans complement the author's intensive work in Russian and Italian archives. The study examines Italian war crimes against the Soviet civilian population and describes the particularly grim fate of the thousands of Italian military internees who after the September 8, 1943 Armistice had been sent to Germany and were subsequently captured by the Soviet army to be deported to the USSR. The book presents everyday life and death in the Soviet prisoner camps and explains the particularly high mortality among Italian prisoners. Giusti explores how well the system of prisoner labor, personally supervised by Stalin, was planned, starting in 1943. A special focus of the study is antifascist propaganda among prisoners and the infiltration of the Soviet security agencies in the camps. Stalin was keen to create a new cohort of supporters through the mass political reeducation of war prisoners, especially middle-class intellectuals and military élite. The book ends with the laborious diplomatic talks in 1946 and 1947 between the USSR, Italy, and the Holy See for the repatriation of the surviving prisoners"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xPrisoners and prisons, Soviet. 650 0 Prisoners of war |zSoviet Union. 650 0 Prisoners of war |zItaly. 610 10 Italy. |bRegio Esercito. |bArmata, VIII |xHistory. 610 10 Italy. |bRegio Esercito. |bCorpo di spedizione italiano in Russia |xHistory. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xCampaigns |zSoviet Union. 650 6 Prisonniers de guerre |0(CaQQLa)201-0029192 |zURSS. |0(CaQQLa)201-0439897 650 6 Prisonniers de guerre |0(CaQQLa)201-0029192 |zItalie. |0(CaQQLa)201-0482808 610 17 Italy. |bRegio Esercito. |bArmata, VIII. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01798575 610 17 Italy. |bRegio Esercito. |bCorpo di spedizione italiano in Russia. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01798600 650 7 Military campaigns. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01710190 650 7 Prisoners of war. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01077227 651 7 Italy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204565 651 7 Soviet Union. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210281 610 17 Italy. |bRegio Esercito. |bArmata, VIII |xHistory. |2nli 610 17 Italy. |bRegio Esercito. |bCorpo di spedizione italiano in Russia |xHistory. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |xPrisoners and prisons, Soviet. |2nli 650 7 Prisoners of war |zSoviet Union. |2nli 650 7 Prisoners of war |zItaly. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |xCampaigns |zSoviet Union. |2nli 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Vargiu, Riccardo James, |etranslator. 765 08 |iTranslation of:Giusti, Maria Teresa. |tI prigionieri italiani in Russia |dBologna : Il mulino, 2014. |z9788815252784 776 08 |iOnline version :Giusti, Maria Teresa. |tStalin's Italian prisoners of war |dBudapest ; New York : Central European University Press, 2021. |z9789633863565 |w(DLC) 2020036425 852 0 |bscstacks |hD805.S65 |iG4913 2021
