ENSV Vabariiklik Komisjon Saksa fašistlike sissetungijate ja nende kaasosaliste roimade ja nende poolt tekitatud kahjude uurimiseks

This fonds contains a collection of documents of the Extraordinary State Commission of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic for the Establishment and Investigation of Crimes and Damages Perpetrated by the German-Fascist Invaders and Their Collaborators. This commission worked as sub-unit of the Extraordinary State Commission of the USSR in Soviet-occupied Estonia 1944-1947. The Extraordinary State Commission of the USSR (Russian: Чрезвычайная Государственная Комиссия / ChGK) was formed by the Soviet authorities, officially aiming at "investigating and punishing for the Crimes of the German-Fascist Aggressors" and their allies. The commission was established 1942 and was responsible for investigating Nazi war crimes and collecting materials which would confirm crimes and losses caused by the invaders. According to its own data, 32,000 organization staff took part in the work of the commission and around 7,000,000 Soviet citizens participated in the collection of materials and evidence. The 27 reports of the ChGK were the majority of Soviet evidentiary material at the Nuremberg process and at the Japanese war criminals trials.

The Extraordinary State Commission worked in Estonia 1944-1947. Reports and major part of documents from Commission was sent to the Central Commission in Moscow. Part of documentation was delivered to the Estonian History Museum; in 1962 the Museum delivered a substantial part of the collection to the Estonian State Archive (Fond ERA.R-364). A small part (9 records) of the collection remained in the Estonian History Museum.
