Abstract

Based on declassified sources of the archive of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation for the Republic of Karelia and the National Archive of the Republic of Karelia, the article presents a picture of the camp inmates of the Kindasovskoye prisontype concentration camp. The camp was located on the territory of the Pryazhinsky district of the KFSSR during the Great Patriotic War and was intended for «unreliable» Soviet citizens. Based on the protocols of interrogations and memoirs of prisoners, it was possible to establish the daily routine, working and rest conditions, diet, attitude of the leadership and camp guards towards prisoners. Kindasovskogo camp was distinguished by a particularly cruel regime. The camp administration had allencompassing power and was not afraid of punishment for committed crimes against the person. The camp in Kindasovo is the example for the article to show the manifestations of the criminal policy of the administration of the Military Directorate of Eastern Karelia in the territory of the occupied regions of the KFSSR.
