The paper investigates the problem of political and war collaboration which was wide-spread in the South of Russia guring the Great Patriotic war in spite of the fact that Hitler tried to limit collaboration particularly in the political war sphere. The causes of that were political, social-economic, national and religions factors. They gave birth to a large number of unsatisfied people by the Soviet power especially among cosaks and people living in the North Caucasus.
