The legally enshrined results of World War II were discussed at a regional round table at the ASU Law Institute
The purpose of the round table was to preserve historical truth and objective information about the Great Patriotic War, as well as to honor the feats of the multinational people of Russia during this conflict. The event aimed to foster a sense of pride in our Great Victory, patriotism, and the heroic traditions among post-war generations. The Head of the Department of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure of ASU, Doctor of Law and Professor Aslan Trakhov, who acted as the moderator of the round table, emphasized the relevance of the agenda's issues in his opening remarks.
-“In accordance with the verdict of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, the main war criminals guilty of committing war crimes, as well as crimes against peace and humanity, were convicted. Thus, the Nazi regime itself was delegitimized, which served as the legal consolidation of the results of World War II. In Russia, search activities are still ongoing; archival materials are being studied, and various examinations are being conducted to recreate an objective picture of the Nazis' brutal crimes against peace and the security of humanity,”- he stated.
The professor recalled that one of the results of such painstaking work was the decision made by the Supreme Court of the Republic of Adygea on September 24, 2024, which recognized the atrocities carried out by the German fascist invaders on the territory of present-day Adygea during the Great Patriotic War as genocide. The evidence collected regarding the Nazi invaders' criminal activities illustrates that all these atrocities were part of a broader plan to exterminate not only the civilian population of individual settlements and regions of Adygea but also the entire Soviet people.
His remarks were supplemented by the honorary guest of the event—Asker Tlekhatuk, the chairman of the Adygea regional branch of the Association of Lawyers of Russia and director of the ASU branch in Belorechensk, who has a PhD in sociology. He noted that, in the modern context, it is especially important for young people to recognize attempts at manipulation and respond appropriately to any initiatives by unfriendly forces aimed at sowing discord in Russian society through the dissemination of untruths and distortions of history.
-“To achieve this, reliable information about the history of the Great Patriotic War must be disseminated in formats that are familiar and understandable to the younger generation, including through social networks,”- he emphasized.
Another honorary guest, Aliy Mamiy, the President of the RA Bar Association, drew the attention of those present to the notion that the legal regulation of issues related to the protection of historical memory should be multifaceted and comprehensive since it encompasses various areas of social relations subject to regulatory influence.
A report titled "Falsification of the Capture of Maikop Without a Fight in the Documentary Film 'Brandenburg - 800'" was delivered by Ivan Bormotov, the secretary of the branch of the Military Historical Society in the Republic of Adygea and a member of the Council of Veterans of the Republic of Adygea, who holds a PhD in pedagogical sciences. The legal aspects of countering the falsification of the history of the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War were addressed in the report presented by Bela Dzhamirze, an associate professor of the Department of Administrative and Criminal Law at the Moscow State Technical University and a candidate of legal sciences. Murat Katbambetov, a judge of the Maikop City Court of the Republic of Adygea and a candidate of legal sciences, delivered a report titled "Glorious Daughters of Adygea in the Great Patriotic War," while Galina Rudakova, an associate professor of the Department of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure at ASU and a honored lawyer of the RA, presented the report "The Theme of War in the Works of Domestic Poets."
The final presentation in the main part of the event was given by Zarema Beshukova, the Chairman of the Adygea Regional Branch of the Russian Criminological Association named after A.I. Dolgova, and an Associate Professor in the Department of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure at ASU. She spoke on the topic of "State Policy on Preserving Historical Memory and Counteracting the Substitution of History in the Russian Federation."
