More precisely, I remember reading that the Red Army had issued the death penalty for r*pists in its own ranks and would like an academic/“serious” source to corroborate this and possibly even how rigorously this was enforced. Thanks!

    I, too, have heard of it, voici les sources

    Here what I found on this topic. Youtube didn’t allow me to post it with links so just copy paste what I’ll leave below in the search bar.

    1. “ Даже Героев Советского Союза судили за насилие в Германии (военно-судебный архив)” translates to “ Even the Heroes of the Soviet Union were tried for violence in Germany (military-judicial archive)” https://dzen.ru/a/XhhtiivrSQCxHxV8

    2. “ Приговоры ВТ РККА за изнасилования в 1945 (по материалам ОБД Мемориал)” translates to “ Verdicts of the VT Red Army forremoved in 1945 (according to the materials of the OBD Memorial)” VT here is for Voennyi Tribunal(Military Tribunal) https://warhistory.livejournal.com/2310977.html

    Both sources are in Russian and should be the first result in google search. But you’d have to use a google translate probably. If you have troubles understanding something like word abbreviation or graphs feel free to ask me.
