The leadership of the Third Reich viewed the North-West of Russia as a region that was supposed to become part of "Greater Germany". This determined the specificity of the region. From the summer of 1941 to January 1944, the frontline was not far from both Leningrad and Novgorod. Under the conditions of the Nazi occupation regime, monuments of material culture were to be destroyed; local residents and Soviet prisoners of war were to be killed. From the beginning of autumn 1943, the invaders began the mass deportation of the population of the North-West of Russia to the West, behind the Panther line: to the Baltic states and Germany. Latvian and Estonian collaborators were active assistants of the Nazis in the implementation of their criminal policy.

One of the reasons for the collaboration of Russian citizens with Nazi invaders during the Great Patriotic War was the desire to improve their material well-being. Holding various administrative positions, they not only carried out the orders of the German command, but also used them for selfish purposes. Burgomaster of the city of Velikiye Luki Ivan Bychkov-Pomortsev was twice called before the court to answer a criminal charge. The Nazis filed the first lawsuit against him in the so-called "new Russian court" for numerous fraudulent schemes and abuse of his official position. The collaborating official justified his actions by his hatred of Jews and Communists and insisted on active assistance to the German command. The second time Bychkov-Pomortsev was convicted by the Soviet court as an active accomplice of the Nazi occupiers.

The article presents the features of partisan justice in the North-West of Russia during the Great Patriotic War.

The personality and activity of the outstanding Church and public figure of the Synodal period and the largest Russian Orthodox theologian of the XIX century, Metropolitan Filaret of Moscow and Kolomna (in the world-Vasily Mikhailovich Drozdov, 1782-1867) attracted the attention of pre-revolutionary researchers.

In the occupied territory of Russia, Nazi propaganda services organized the publication of newspapers and magazines. Special attention was paid to the issue of forming a positive image of Nazi policy towards various Soviet peoples and territories. A significant emphasis was placed on highlighting events in Belarus, a republic bordering the North-West of Russia. The main thesis of Nazi propaganda was the assertion that there was a national revival of a new independent state, freed by German troops from their enslaver-Bolshevism.

The article analyzes the current state of military-historical anthropology, first of all, the principles of development and implementation of the basic principles of the methodology of this scientific branch, and also outlines possible ways of its further development. One of the most important problems facing researchers who have devoted their work to the study of war as an anthropological phenomenon is the construction of a new coordinate system for setting actual research tasks. At present, a new stage in the development of military-historical anthropology is beginning, the stage of forming original methods. The article analyzes the validity of the use of such a concept of modern philosophical anthropology as "no-place", presents the features and heuristic prospects for the transfer of this concept to the sphere of military anthropological knowledge, and outlines possible options for the development of the methodology of military historical anthropology.

During World War II, representatives of almost all the Soviet Republics fought in partisan detachments in the occupied territory of the Leningrad Region. Among them were many representatives of the Central Asian republics: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Many Leningrad citizens, including relatives of partisans, had been evacuated to Central Asia by that time. However, representatives of Asian workers' collectives came to meet with the partisans. The huge distance, the difference in cultures and even completely different weather conditions did not become an obstacle to those patriots-Turkestanis who joined the resistance forces in the North-West of Russia.
