Lokot’ was the city serving as the center of this socialist and nationalist social experiment under German-occupied Russia from 1941 to 1944. Just south of Bryansk, Southwest of Moscow and Southeast of Smolensk is the forested region of Bryansk Forest with Lokot’ as its center. It is protected, lush and fertile.
Two weeks before the German invasion, the citizens there threw out the Reds and began designing their own society. At its height in 1944, it had an army of 12,000 (out of a population of 500,000), 9 hospitals, 345 schools, low taxes, state controlled currency, and an average peasant holding of 24 acres. Land was free for all who could till it and industry was under state control. Much of this development was from the youth who spontaneously organized this after their suffering under the deadening life of Stalinist uniformity.
The National Socialist Labor Party of Russia was headed by Konstantin Voskobojnik and its military was that of the Russian People’s Liberation Army (Russkaya Osvoboditelnaya Narodnaya Armiya) under Brig Gen. Branisolav Kaminski. Voskoboinik was killed in 1942.
