RTU MIREA Faculty and Students Join International Forum “No Statute of Limitations. Nuremberg. 80 Years”

From November 20-21, the Manège Exhibition Hall hosted the international academic and practical forum titled “No Statute of Limitations. Nuremberg. 80 Years,” marking the 80th anniversary of the International Military Tribunal for major Nazi war criminals. RTU MIREA was represented by faculty from the Department of History and Documentation Studies at the Institute of Management Technologies, along with students majoring in Documentation and Archival Studies, members of the volunteer team.

Organized by the National Center for Historical Memory under the President of the Russian Federation in partnership with the Victory Museum, the forum was aligned with Federal Law No. 74-FZ of April 21, 2025, “On commemorating Soviet genocide victims during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945,” and the “No Statute of Limitations” federal project.

The November 20 plenary session unfolded in a partially recreated interior of Courtroom 600 at Nuremberg’s Palace of Justice, venue of the 1945-1946 Nuremberg Trial, also known as the “Trial of Nations.” Participants in the forum, including government, judiciary and law enforcement officials, prosecutors, public figures, Russian and international historians, lawyers, and international law experts, addressed contemporary efforts to distort the historical truth about the Great Patriotic War and World War II.

RTU MIREA’s involvement underscores the university’s commitment to safeguarding historical memory and equipping future professionals with insight into the role of documents in history and today.
