International Research-to-Practice Conference “Legal Forms of Experiencing History: Practices and Limits” was dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the victory over the Nazi Germany and its allies. The conference provided a forum for identifying the ability of legal science and practice to respond to the current challenges of the global appeal to the past, as seen in the 21st century, and to the “wars of memory” caused by the need for self-identification of people due to the break-up of certain states and the formation of new international integrated units, the change of generations, when the majority of people living nowadays have not been witnesses of the WWII, therefore reviewing its outcome, the emergence of the concept of “official memory policy” (“collective memory”, “memory policy”, “historical memory”, “memorial policy”, “historical policy”), and the new recognition of historical events, recently celebrating the 100th anniversary (2014 – the beginning of WWI, 2017 – the Russian Bolshevik Revolution, 2018 – the end of WWI, etc.).
