Remember the word "Sharomyzhniki"? You probably haven't thought about its origin. Is this word connected with the war of 1812? Definitely! Today we'll talk about it. But our main topic is "Looting". Looting is considered to be war crimes related to the robbery of the wounded and killed on the battlefield or as a result of natural disasters, theft of property from buildings or cars abandoned during an emergency. Although the concept of looting dates back to the years of the emergence of the first civilizations, that is, BC. In those days, looting was considered an ordinary thing and was not a punishable act. It was believed that a warrior who shed his blood deserved a reward. This is what we will talk about in today's video.
