Abstract

Ever since the end of WWII and the Great Patriotic War 70 years ago, debates on this epoch-making event in world history have never ceased. They became particularly acute after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. Last year, a new burst of discussions was caused by the 70th anniversary of the Victory.
