As a result of the Second World War, representatives of various European and Asian nations, former soldiers of the German and Japanese armies were sent to the USSR labor camps as prisoners of war. Prisoners of war were accepted as unpaid labor in industrial and construction units, as well as in the defense enterprises of the USSR. During the operation of the camp system, there were problems with the provision of
food to prisoners of war, the lack of adequate housing, which led to the deaths of prisoners of war. The main issue raised was the situation of prisoners of war working in camps on the territory of Kazakhstan.
