Going door to door and/or gathering civilians in groups and killing them up close and personal. Bastards.

But then I would think it would have to be a number of Russian soldiers with hand guns doing the shooting with a group of civilians. One solder with a hand gun could be over come by a group of civilians who could also run away.

During WWII the Nazis would make civilians dig a huge trench and line them up in front of the trench. Then a group of Nazi soldiers would shoot the civilians with rifles.

This began to traumatize the Nazi soldiers so the German command decided to do mass killings with poison gas and invented the crematoriums.

Doesn't sound like the Russian soldiers are traumatized at all.

During WWII, when Americans caught a German soldier they would use the threat of turning them over to the Russians as a very effective way to get them to cough up classified intel. The Germans were terrified of the Russians.

I don’t understand the strategy of withholding this designation.
