The review analyzes A.N. Savenkov's monograph "Nuremberg: A Verdict for name of Peace" with a special emphasis on theoretical disputes and principled legal positions of legal scholars of the USSR, the USA, Great Britain and France in terms of understanding and types of international crimes; the possibility of bringing to criminal responsibility the state, its head and representatives of the ruling political group; understanding complicity in a crime; giving retroactive effect to the norms fixed in the Statute of the International military tribunal. The study scrupulously presents the arguments of each of the opposing parties. For the first time, the domestic reader gets the opportunity to get acquainted with the discussions held in Western specialized literature, therefore, one of the main scientific achievements of the monograph is the introduction into circulation of a huge, new array of bibliographic sources.
