Antonyan Yu.M. Heinrich Himmler: A Criminologist's View of the Executioner

Abstract: The subject of the research is the criminological profile of Heinrich Himmler. The factors that influenced the formation of Himmler's personality, his childhood, adolescence and youth, have been examined.The object of the research is Himmler's life journey, from his birth until his suicide. A study has been conducted on his personal relations, preferences, marital status and aspiration to comprehend occultism in its most primitive anti-religious forms. A particular analysis has been carried out regarding Himmler's antihuman views aimed at physical destruction of whole nations. The methodology of the article is based on the approaches and principles of dialectic method of knowledge established in the netional science, which, in their turn, are set up on historically objective regularities examined in respect with interrelation and interdependence with modern realia. Psychological methods have been widely applied, especially for the examination of the period of the formation of Himmler's personality, when his sadistic propensities were transformed into an essential component of his daily life. Also, other achievments of criminology and criminal law have been used, mainly in regard to the personality of criminal, as well as those of international criminal law.Based on the new approaches connected with the creation of post-mortem criminological profiles, a criminological characteristic is given to the Nazi war criminal Himmler. The conclusions have been drawn about Himmler's most signifacant personal features, which, from the authors' point of view, determined his transformation from a human into an executor - necrophilia, destructivity, Satanism.
