Abstract

Using the example of the scientific heritage of A. N. Trainin, the article examines the issues of the participation of Soviet lawyers in the formation of international criminal law in general and individual international criminal responsibility in particular in the 1930s and 1940s, when the threat of fascism hung over the world, and later during the Second World War the existence of mankind was in question.

The purpose of the article is to determine the contribution that Soviet academic science made to the development of the institute of international criminal responsibility on the eve and during the Second World War, as well as after its end, determining the main directions of the development of international criminal law.

Using the chronological method, the sequence of Soviet lawyers' appeals to various aspects of the development of the international criminal responsibility institute is established. The descriptive method made it possible to describe the main directions of A. N. Trainin's research in the field of international criminal law. The formal legal method was applied in the analysis of the content of national normative legal acts of different periods, as well as international treaties regulating the issues of bringing perpetrators to individual international criminal responsibility. The diachronic cross-section was used to identify the evolution of types of international crimes in the 1930s and 1940s, and the synchronous cross-section made it possible to identify common and distinctive positions of researchers from different countries.

As a result of the research, the role of representatives of Soviet academic science in the development of international legal, constitutional and criminal law measures to protect peace in the 1930s, as well as the concept of aggression, in the classification of international crimes during World War II and immediately after it, the definition of the crime of genocide, the establishment of the institution of individual international criminal responsibility is shown.
