metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article investigates features of forced labor in the border territory of Belarus and the North-West
  of Russia during Nazi occupation of 1941–1944. The Wehrmacht used forced labor both in Germany by hijacking
  Soviet citizens there, and in industrial enterprises and in agriculture of the occupied territories. The civilian population
  was involved in the performance of certain work in favor of the occupation authorities. Peasants, in addition
  to traditional agricultural work and payment of in-kind taxes, were often forcibly involved in performing horse —
  drawn duties, peat and logging, railway protection, and mine clearance. Citizens were actively used by the occupying authorities to construct defensive structures and to work at industrial enterprises. Refusal to work was
  punishable by a fine, deprivation of ration cards, corporal punishment, and sentencing to a labor camp or shooting.
  Forced to work in enterprises, institutions, and agriculture, the population received meager wages and food
  rations, and the vast majority of workers lived below the poverty line. A special place among the crimes of Nazism
  in the territory of the North-West of Russia and Belarus, where the occupation went on the longest, is occupied
  by the forcible deportation of the population to Germany. From some settlements, the occupation authorities sent
  entire local populations to Germany without regard to age, health, or family circumstances. To provide the Nazi
  economy with labor, the occupation authorities paid considerable attention to propaganda among the population
  and the organization of recruitment campaigns. However, this did not contribute to raising the number of volunteers;
  instead, local residents in the occupied regions sabotaged the orders of the German-fascist command.
