Legal regulation of historical policy: foreign experience

The study examines foreign legislation in the field of historical policy. The relevance of the research topic is driven by the increasing role of laws that establish official positions on historicalevents. Such laws are increasingly being used as tools of political struggle, both within states and in international conflicts. The research subject is the legal norms of foreign countries regulat-ing historical policy. The study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of laws and other regulatory acts in this field and to develop a classification system. The research employs systematic analysis, dialectical and logical methods, formal-legal (dogmatic) methodology, as well as comparative-legal and his-torical methods. As a result, the author systematizes approaches to legal regulation in the field of historical policy and proposes a classification framework. Despite the existence of a body of research on this topic, most studies remain theoretical in nature. Scholars primarily explore the concept of "historical policy" and analyze various approaches to it, while other researchers focus only on specific types of memory laws. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehen-sive analysis of the entire body of foreign laws aimed at codifying attitudes to-ward historical events. The findings may be useful in the development of Rus-sian legislation regulating historical policy and in formulating measures to counter the falsification of history by foreign states. The study also identifies shortcomings in existing foreign legal norms related to historical policy.
