The petition for creation of the international tribunal at the UN for crime investigation against humanity and genocide of social group in Russia.


In Russia there is a genocide of social group of the mentally sick people. In Russia the mentally sick people treat forcibly in system of the psychiatric help obsolete medicines. These preparations are appointed by psychiatrists who consist in public service without a consent of patients. Preparations are poisons with a large number of heavy side effects. Such preparations became outdated at the time of the USSR, 20 years ago. As a result of violent application of dangerous drugs mentally sick people on the average live 10-20 years less healthy people that it is unambiguously possible to regard as massacre of people. All lost people belong to one social group - group of mentally sick people and according to regulations of the United Nations it is considered a crime against humanity, genocide. The organizer and responsible for this crime is the president of Russia Vladimir Putin. According to the constitution of Russia the president is chief executive and at the same time the president is the guarantor of the constitution of Russia. The system of the psychiatric help in Russia submits to the president of Russia. In the same time the president scribbles laws and by that gives to laws the validity status. The president signed the state budgets in which financing of programs of genocide of mentally sick people was provided.

The system of the psychiatric help imposes to patients poisonous preparations, such drugs are applied as allegedly universal many diseases medicine, these are such preparations as:
- Tsiklodol (Trihexyphenidyl);
- Haloperidol;
- Aminazine (Chlorpromazine);

Among the side effects arising after reception of these preparations it is possible to note:
- heart troubles;
- weak-mindedness;
- memory loss;
- obesity;
- diabetes;
- brain diseases;
- etc.

Application by system of the psychiatric help in Russia outdated dangerous preparations isn't cheaper than some modern and much safer drugs of import production. Application of poisonous outdated drugs is caused by evil intention of criminals.

I ask the UN to create tribunal for Russia and to begin investigation of this crime.



I ask the UN to arrest the president of Russia Vladimir Putin as true obvious guilty organizer of this crime.
 
Putin is Hitler.


Introduction

Killing of Psychiatric Patients

The planning and logistics for such mass murder elicited much discussion. The method finally chosen was the release of carbon monoxide gas into a closed room outfitted to look like a shower room and the subsequent burning of the bodies in crematoria. Gold fillings were removed from the deceased and used to partially pay for the program.6 In early January 1940, the first 20 patients were led into a “shower room” at the Brandenburg asylum and killed. This method was judged to be highly successful and was later adapted for the killing of Jews. Five additional asylums, at Bernburg, Grafeneck, Hadamar, Hartheim, and Sonnenstein, were designated as killing centers, and patients marked for death at other hospitals were transported to these regional centers. By August 1941, 70 273 patients had been killed. Careful records were kept, and the 6 centers competed with each other in efficiency. Hadamar, eg, “celebrated the cremation of its ten-thousandth patient in a special ceremony, where everyone in attendance—secretaries, nurses and psychiatrists—received a bottle of beer for the occasion.”9

Once the initial goal of killing 70 000 patients was achieved, the Aktion T–4 program was halted. Although some resistance to the program had developed, especially among the churches and in communities near the killing centers, the T–4 program personnel were needed for a bigger job. Beginning in April 1941, selected personnel were transferred from the psychiatric hospitals to concentration camps and asked to set up similar killing facilities. According to Cleansing the Fatherland: Nazi Medicine and Racial Hygiene of Aly et al,6 “the original commandants of Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka came from T–4 and were on its payroll.” The German solution for its problem of chronic mental patients thus morphed into the “final solution” for its problem of Jews, gypsies, and others deemed undesirable.

Although the formal Aktion T–4 program was halted in mid-1941, the killing of mental patients continued throughout the war. In some cases, the killing was done using carbon monoxide, but in most cases it was done by injection (eg, morphine, phenobarbital, or scopolamine) or starvation. Psychiatric asylums implemented 2 diets: minimum calories for those who could work and a starvation diet of vegetables only for those who could not. These killing programs were highly effective. At the Hadamar asylum, eg, of the 4817 patients transferred there between August 1942 and March 1945, 4422, or 92%, died. At the Obrawalde asylum in German Sileasia, of the 3948 admissions in 1944, 3814, or 97%, died. Postwar investigators estimated that 18 232 people had died at Obrawalde alone in the previous 3 years.2

In some parts of the German Reich, the killing of mental patients was done also by army personnel. In East Prussia, 1558 patients from 3 asylums were killed by a Schutzstaffel (SS) unit that loaded the patients into the back of closed trucks and released toxic gas. In Pomerania, another SS unit shot to death over 3000 psychiatric patients because military officials wanted the asylum for use as barracks and a casualty station. Nor were mentally ill children exempt from the psychiatric genocide. In one pediatric unit in Bavaria, 332 children died by starvation or injection between November 1940 and May 1945.2 One estimate of the total number of children killed under the hospital program was “at least 5000,”10 but others have estimated as many as 10 000.11

According to Fredric Wertham, the mass sterilization and killing of psychiatric patients in Germany “was organized as well as any modern community psychiatry project, and better than most.” At the Grafeneck asylum alone, 594 patients were killed in 133-day period, and “eventually the crematorium of Grafeneck smoked incessantly.”8

Estimates of Numbers Sterilized and Killed

What is the best estimate of the total number of patients with schizophrenia who were sterilized and/or killed by the Nazis? Regarding sterilization, it has been estimated that “between 1934 and May 1945, about 400 000 people were actually sterilized—about 1% of the population capable of producing children.”2 Two-thirds of them were living in the community, and they included individuals with a variety of diagnoses. A diagnostic breakdown of sterilizations for 1934, the only year for which such figures are available, indicates that 49% of the sterilized individuals had “congenital feeblemindedness,” 26% schizophrenia, 16% congenital epilepsy, and the remainder other diagnoses.10 Later diagnostic data from a single sterilization center noted that two-thirds of those sterilized had schizophrenia.2 Based on the limited available data, it seems reasonable to estimate that at least one-third of the 400 000 sterilized, or 132 000 individuals, had a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

Regarding the total number of psychiatric patients killed, estimates have ranged from 200 000 to 275 000. This included the initial 70 273 killed by gas between January 1940 and August 1941, an estimated 100 000 “who starved to death in German mental hospitals after the end of the euthanasia program,”3 and an unknown number killed by lethal injection or shooting. In late 1939, there were 283 000 patients in German psychiatric hospitals, and by May 1945, only about 40 000, or 14%, survived. During those years, some patients were discharged, while others, approximately two-thirds of whom were diagnosed with schizophrenia, were being admitted. According to Wertham,8 “many institutions, even big ones … were closed entirely because all the patients had been liquidated.” Thus, 200 000 would seem to be the minimum number of psychiatric patients killed, and the total may have been as high as Wertham's estimate of 275 000.8

What percentage of these had a diagnosis of schizophrenia? It is clear that individuals with this diagnosis were sterilized and killed disproportionately compared with individuals with other diagnoses. This was because of the strong belief among German psychiatrists that schizophrenia was genetically inherited and also because individuals with schizophrenia were less likely to have been able to work. According to Friedlander, the “overriding criterion” for selection for death in the T–4 program “was the ability to do productive work.”10 The few patients who were still alive in German psychiatric asylums at the end of the war were those who could work or had useful skills, such as a patient, formerly a dentist, in the Obrawalde asylum “who was temporarily acting as asylum director” after the staff left before the advancing Russian army.2 Having schizophrenia put one in the category of those for whom there were no exceptions to sterilization or killing. Benno Müller-Hill, the author of Murderous Science, noted that “a German who was diagnosed ‘schizophrenic’ had to be sterilized without exception. Equally, a person who was diagnosed ‘schizophrenic’ and who was hospitalized for at least five years had a strong chance to be murdered in the euthanasia murders.”12 Given the facts that 56% of hospitalized psychiatric patients in 1929 and two-thirds of admissions during the war had schizophrenia, it seems reasonable to estimate that at least half of the 200 000–275 000 patients killed or 100 000–137 500 individuals were so diagnosed.

Thus, in the 12-year period of 1934–1945, an estimated 600 000–675 000 individuals in Germany were sterilized or killed under medical rationalizations, including an estimated 132 000 with schizophrenia who were sterilized and 100 000–137 500 with schizophrenia who were killed.
