Abstract

Modern hardships of the world community objectively actualize the problem of preserving peace, which in turn necessitates a deep understanding of how victory was achieved in the World War II. Kazakhs and Ukrainians wrote exciting pages in the annals of great friendship in those years both on the Soviet-German front and in the European Resistance Movement. In the anti-fascist struggle that took place on the territory of the occupied European countries during the World War II, a powerful force of international solidarity among the peoples was clearly manifested.
The forms of the struggle of the international resistance movement were very diverse: failure to comply with the enemy’s orders, anti-fascist propaganda, and assistance to the people pursued by the fascists, intelligence activity in favor of the anti-Hitler coalition, strikes, sabotage, sabotage, mass demonstrations, partisan struggle in temporarily occupied territories, armed uprisings.
The immortal main hero of this war was the close cooperation of peoples. Their joint struggle against Hitler’s Germany has shown its strength and powerful potential, has become one of the main sources and the determining factor of the victory over the Nazi-Fascist invaders.
