May 18, 2026

The Department of Children's Diseases hosted an event inextricably linked with the victory in the Great Patriotic War "80 years since the completion of the Nuremberg Trials".

In the assembly hall of the Children's City Clinical Hospital, a meeting was held between students of the Amur State Medical Academy and the Chairman of the Amur Regional Public Organization "Association of the Elderly of Blagoveshchensk" Sergey Utenbergenov. His lecture is a significant educational and educational event aimed at forming students' historical memory and civic responsibility. Speaking about the Nuremberg Tribunal, Sergei Utenbergenov did not limit himself to a dry statement of facts, but focused on the consequences of the ideology of Nazism. This helps students realize that war crimes are not just statistics, but the result of conscious choice and propaganda. The demonstration of fragments of the film "Ordinary Fascism" made it possible not only to learn about the scale of the atrocities, but also to understand how the victim is "dehumanized" and ordinary people turn into executors of cruel orders. This is an important element of the prevention of extremism, since it shows the vulnerability of the human psyche to propaganda.

The most important part of the meeting was the transition from history to the present. Citing examples of the revival of neo-fascist ideas and modern war crimes emphasizes that history is not a complete process. This is a direct signal that the mechanisms that led to the tragedies of the 20th century can be activated today.

Such lectures perform the most important function - they form immunity to radical ideologies in young people. Understanding how "dehumanization" occurs and what it leads to is the best prevention of extremism. The emphasis on the need to constantly repeat the lessons of history serves as a reminder of the fragility of the world and the importance of preserving humanistic values.
