KRAUSS Karl Gottliebovich, born in 1905, native of the village of Orlovskoye, Markshtatsky District, Volga German ASSR, German by nationality, citizen of the USSR, no permanent residence, illiterate, from the middle peasants, without a permanent place of residence or work, was exiled to the Kozhevnikovsky District of the Novosibirsk Region, from where he fled. For which he was arrested on 23.V.43 by the Tugansky ROM NKVD and charged under Art. 82, Part II of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR, and is currently being held in Prison No. 3 in Tomsk.

FOUND:

That KRAUSS, while under arrest in prison No. 3 of the NKVD NSO during November–December 1943, systematically carried out counter-revolutionary [pro-fascist] agitation among his cellmates, aimed at undermining the power of the Soviet state, for example:

In mid-November 1943, KRAUSS denigrated the Soviet government and the leaders of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), and made various insults against the leaders of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks). Here he also praised the cannibal Hitler and his “order.”

In the last days of November 1943, KRAUSS slandered the Red Army and, on the contrary, praised the German army and its equipment, proving to his cellmates the inevitable defeat of the USSR in the modern war with Nazi Germany.

In the first days of December 1943, KRAUSS made slanderous statements about the Soviet government and the Red Army. At the same time, he praised the German army and the bandit Hitler.

In the last days of December 1943, KRAUSS expressed similar counter-intelligence fabrications, and simultaneously slandered the Soviet press.
