English-Russian Count NIKOLAI TOLSTOY


The English-Russian Count Nikolai Tolstoy, renowned historian and author of The Ministers & The Massacres, as well as Stalin’s Vengeance, shares his knowledge of the British repatriation of Croatians, Slovenes and Cossacks (military and civilians) on Bleiburg field in 1945. These unfortunate souls had guarantees from the British that the Geneva Conventions would be honored and that they would be protected and transported to American safe zones in Italy. Instead, in violation of international law, they were deliberately delivered into the hands of the Yugoslav and Russian communists, who, without trial, liquidated them in mass slaughters.
