Biographical History
Established pursuant to an edict (2 November 1942) of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR, this commission began activities after the liberation of the Odessa region from German-Romanian forces in June 1944. It was subordinate to the Extraordinary State Commission of the Ukrainian SSR and was in turn in charge of district and city commissions. It included representatives of the public prosecutor’s office and of military justice, Soviet and party workers, deputies of the Supreme Council of the USSR and the Odessa Regional Council of Toilers’ Deputies, the deputy director of the Odessa eparchy, and others. The main task of the commission was to discover and investigate crimes of the occupying powers, determine the concrete identities of those responsible, and evaluate the extent of the damages caused to citizens, enterprises, organizations, and institutions of the city of Odessa and the Odessa region. It was liquidated in connection with the completion of its work in late 1945.
