Based on an analysis of a wide range of archival sources, the authors attempted to conduct a comprehensive analysis of Nazi crimes against children in the occupied territories of Donbas in 1942–1943. Specific examples were used to illustrate the main types of crimes committed by Nazi occupiers against children in Donbas. They concluded that all these atrocities were part of a systematic Nazi policy of exterminating civilians, based on racist ideology and the desire for victory at any cost.

The article is devoted to London crimes in late Medieval period. Various factors that influenced the manifestation of criminal inclinations among citizens are considered. From all of the crimes committed in London the author divided them into categories. The author pays special attention to the most socially dangerous and serious crimes: treason, rebellion and heresy.

The author investigates the problem of a criminal biography establishment as a form of event history interpretation. On the example of the famous London criminal Jonathan Wilde’s biography by D. Defoe we show how a real historical character life was being transformed into a myth that gained independent life in the collective consciousness and reflected in different spheres of artistic culture over the next centuries. Throughout the paper the writer structures the facts, leading the reader to the logical conclusion about the hero’s tragic fate.
