The article is dedicated to the matter of Turkish prisoners on the Nargin Island in the Caspian Sea during the First World War. According to approximate computations, there were about 50-60 thousand people of Turkish captives in Russia. Some of them were sent to Baku because of the close location to the Caucasus Front and from there they were sent to the Nargin Island in the Caspian Sea. As time showed it was not the right choise. The Island had no decent conditions for living and turned the life of prisoners into the hell camp. Hastily built barracks contravene meet elementary standards, were poorly heated and by the end of the war they were not heated at all, water supply was unsatisfactory, sometimes water was not brought to the prisoner's several days. Bread was given in 100 grams per person per day, and then this rate redused by half. Knowing the plight of the prisoners, many citizens of Baku as well as the Baku Muslim Charitable Society and other charitable societies provided moral and material support to prisoners, they often went to the camp, brought food, clothes, medicines Key words: World War I, prisoners of war, Nargin Island, refugees, incarceration conditions, starvation, charity

Since sufferings of civilian populations during the First World War in Europe, especially war crimes perpetrated against civilians, have - unlike the political and military history of the Great War - only recently become an object of scholarly interest, there still are considerable gaps in our knowledge, the Balkans being a salient example. Therefore, suggesting a methodology that involves a comparative approach, the use of all available sources, cooperation among scholars from different countries and attention to the historical background, the paper seeks to open some questions and start filling lacunae in our knowledge of the war crimes perpetrated against Serb civilians as part of the policy of Bulgarization in the portions of Serbia under Bulgarian military occupation.

The article presents a chronology of scientific research of the Hungarian linguist and ethnographerб who studied Finno-Ugric peoples  – Bernát Munkácsi (1860–1937). The first scientific trip of B. Munkácsi took place in the summer of 1880 to the Hungarians speaking the Csángó dialect in Moldova province. The route of the expedition in 1885 led him to different ethnographic groups of the Udmurts. The longest trip was taken in 1888 to the Northern Urals and Western Siberia to the Ob-Ugric peoples. A special place is occupied by the analysis of his collecting work among prisoners of war during the First world war. The author of the fundamental volumes of folk poetry and ethnographic texts about Udmurts and Mansi, Munkácsi went down in the history of Finno-Ugric studies as one of the pioneers of field research and a humanist.
