Nazi occupation policy in the Crimea (1941-1944): historiography of the problem
This article discusses the current state of historiography, which studies the problem of Nazi occupation policy in the Crimea in 1941-1944. Based on the analysis of literature published since the 1950s, three main views on this problem are identified: Soviet, post-Soviet and Western. It is noted that for a number of reasons, the most interesting are the studies of Russian and Western authors, while Soviet historians almost did not pay attention to these events. It is shown that among the topics developed by Russian historians, the most popular are collaboration, Nazi psychological war in the Crimea and the occupation daily life of the Crimeans. In studies of American and European authors among the main subjects can be identified as military-political collaborationism and the problem of the Holocaust. It is emphasized that, despite the fact that Crimea was part of Ukraine for a certain period, the problem of Nazi occupation policy here was practically not developed by historians of this state. As a result of the research, a substantiated conclusion that Nazi occupation policy in the Crimea has repeatedly become the subject of study. However, we cannot say that now there is a complete picture of the events that took place here in 1941-1944. Many aspects of this period remained out of the field of view of researchers. Therefore, this problem needs further development. Namely: in enlargement of a topic row and attraction of new sources.
