One of the tragic pages of World War II was betrayal. Analyzing this phenomenon, researchers identify different causes, but cowardice and fear of death are still considered to be the main ones.
The purpose of this publication is to shed light on the criminal case of Aleksandr Posievin, who served as a policeman during the Nazi invasion of Kharkiv.
Studying the investigative case of Aleksandr Posievin, it can be stated that the material collected by the investigators is a valuable source for studying many aspects of the history of the Nazi occupation of Kharkiv, and also provides an opportunity to create a generalized portrait of traitors to the Motherland who went over to the side of the enemy during World War II.
