[edit] The reasons of aggression
The crimes are a logical consequancies of some kind of aggression, so
when studying them and their reasons it is neccessary to understand
the roots of aggresion (social aggression). Of course, not only
philosophycally the war is a crime at a global level, but during the
war period lots of single acts of different kind of aggresion was
commited, and aggression against civil citizens or POW is supposed
to be the war crime.
Bolshevik leader Lenin developed it's aggressive ideology of class
war and proletar dictatorship seaking the comunism based on false
teaching of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels about efectivnes of
centralised nonmarket economy. This theory was based on the
nationalisation of all citizens' property creating centralised
"socialfeodal" country or even centralised union. Immediately after
October revolution totalitaristic regime was proclaimed and
nationalisation in Russia started. Second world war was not ended and
this together with bolshevik dictartoship and nationalisation coused
the Civil war in Russia and lots of people and countries suffered -
total of victims is aproximately 15 million, mainly russians and
ukrainians. Red Army was created by Lev Trocky and it was the
main weapon of bolshevik(comunist) party. Soon confrontation of
different ideological and economic systems started, which coused
international world wide conflicts and strong social aggression.
The last aggression against soviet countries people was committed
trying to rescue soviet union from collapse.

[edit] The consequencies of aggression and war crime
The total of comunism victims was aproximately evaluated to be 100
million and a large part of this is the result of aggressive
confrontating politics of comunist party realised by Red Army,
which supported the other repressive structures of Soviet union.
Becouse of different systems confrontation there were started two
world wars and lots of the other conflicts were rised. The world lost
