The aim was to interpret legalacts regulating the interpretation of the war in the context of V. Putin’s politicsof history. Additionally, parallels between legal acts regulating the interpreta-tion of World War II and the Russo-Ukrainian war were highlighted. The pri-mary research method is qualitative content analysis (legal acts, exit polls,etc.), supplemented by comparative analysis. I assume that V.
