The ChGK report from Spasskoye
The fascist villains killed Maria Minakova, a farmer from the Avant-Garde collective farm, and her two children, the 5-year-old Vera and the 2-year-old Roza. They also tortured and shot the farmers L.Ch. Kazavchinsky and R. Kazavchinskaya.
Furthermore, the passing German officers and soldiers, whose first and last names could not be recovered, brutally tortured the evacuees living in the village of Spasskoye – including 44 women, men of different ages, and children (whose first and last names could not be recovered).
