War criminal loses appeal to halt deportation

By Joel Alas

TALLINN - One of the last living war criminals of the Soviet era could be forced to return to Russia after the Estonian Supreme Court dismissed his appeal to stay in the country. Vasily Beskov, an 88-year old Russian citizen, was convicted in 1999 of crimes against humanity for working as a secret service officer and carrying out the mass deportation of Estonians to Siberia in 1949.
