On the night of June 5-6, the Russian army blew up the dam of Kakhovka HPP. As a result, most of the Kherson region was flooded, and now there is a severe humanitarian situation in the region. However, this is not the first such incident committed by Russia in Ukraine.

Axar.az reports that on August 18, 1941, by order of Stalin, the dam of the Dnieper HPP was blown up with 20 tons of explosives to prevent the German attack. When the dam was blown up, the local population was not even warned, not even the existing units of the USSR army in the area. As a result, 80,000 civilians and 20,000 Soviet soldiers died under the 30-meter waves.

After the war, the USSR leadership made a fake documentary and spread the rumour that it was done by Germany.
