Prohibition of the heroizing of Nazism in the content of memory politics: international and Russian aspects

The subject of research is the international and Russian aspects of memory policy related to the content of the ban on the glorification of Nazism. The purpose of the work is to theoretically analyze the international and Russian aspects of memory policy related to the formation of the content of the ban on the glorification of Nazism. The methodological basis of the study was a documentary and analytical approach with elements of institutional and historical-legal analysis. The historical and genetic method became the basis for analyzing the evolution of the prohibition of the glorification of Nazism. Case stages, content analysis of international and Russian regulations, and quantitative analysis of judicial statistics were also used. Conclusions from the study: the stable practice of the international community contains a ban on the glorification of Nazism. Non-interference of states with the manifestations of Nazism and neo-Nazism on their territory is considered a violation of political norms and is completely unacceptable in the international community. Legal norms, in conjunction with political and moral norms, form the ethics of international relations, prohibiting the use of fascism as the basis of national and international politics. It is in this form as a combination of political, legal and moral norms that the ban on the glorification of Nazism is included in the content of the policy of memory in the international aspect and as part of the collective memory of peoples who experienced the disasters of the world war can significantly impede the revival of fascist ideology in individual states. Such a view of the evolution of legal norms allows us to see their moral and political significance. Interpretation of legal norms beyond their criminal legal significance has become part of modern memory politics.
