Abstract
The author’s interpretations of the phenomenon of economic crime, poorly understood in Russian historical science, which took place in the Soviet Union in 1941-1945, are examined. The features of its influence on the lifestyle of a militarized society are shown. Overcoming such limitations as the lack of a source base, ideological commitment and censorship prohibitions made it possible, from the standpoint of a narrative approach, historical, systemic and institutional analysis, to present the views of modern scholars on the objective and subjective reasons, circumstances, nature and extent of theft. A palette of opinions on the role, place and effectiveness of the Stalinist justice authorities, public associations of citizens in the prevention, detection, investigation and suppression of these illegal acts is presented. The discussions on the nature and appropriateness of innovations in the legal and domestic spheres that regulated production and distribution at enterprises of various industrial affiliations are reflected. Based on comparative data, an attempt was made to assess the extent of corruption in the state and party apparatus, law enforcement agencies, and the judicial system. It is concluded that the accumulated knowledge retains a predominantly empirical orientation and has not yet reached a theoretical level. A list of scientific problems has been compiled that specialists need to focus on in order to provide comprehensive factology, complex tools, and a conceptual understanding of the processes that occurred during the Great Patriotic War in the social and criminal law spheres of the country. The main tasks are the determination of priorities, methods, content and final results of the policies of the central and local authorities, aimed at combating thieves, embezzlers and bribe takers. Their decision will allow finding additional arguments against falsifications and insinuations on the issue of the price of the Great Victory.
Keywords: USSR, World War II, historiography, economic crime, theft of state property, official abuse, institutional aspects of counteracting economic offenses.
