Organization of the Prosecutor’s Office in the Kuban during the Great Patriotic War

Abstract

The article examines the activities of the prosecutor’s office during the Great Patriotic War in the Krasnodar Territory. There is a colossal burden that was placed on the supervisory authority during this period. The author of this work shows the participation of the public prosecutor during the open trial held on July 14-17, 1943. Attention is focused on the significance of this trial, which is difficult to overestimate. It was he who was the first open trial of accomplices of the Nazi occupiers, being a kind of predecessor of the International Military Tribunal that sentenced fascism in Nuremberg. It is noted that at the initiative of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, the decision to suspend the preliminary investigation in the criminal case of 1941-1943 considered in the article was canceled, and it was transferred to the investigative bodies of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the organization of further investigation. Thus, the article notes that all crimes committed by fascists on the territory of our country have no statute of limitations.
