During World War I, Russia was one of the countries holding the largest number of prisoners of war, ranking second after Germany and ahead of Austria-Hungary. Since these states were at war on both sides of the Eastern Front in Europe, this contributed to a wide range of problems in relation to the number of prisoners of war, deficiencies in organization and shortages of materials. The author studies some new aspects of captivity and international law, such as the protection of rights and humane treatment of prisoners of war. Russia is compared to other countries at war in relation to its medical treatment and care for prisoners of war
