Niniejszy artykuł traktuje o Rzezi Wołyńskiej analizowanej w kontekście kryzysu ukraińskiego. Badanie skupia się na interpretacji instrumentalnego wykorzystywania przez Rosję, Ukrainę i Polskę zagadnień związanych z eksterminacją polskiej ludności cywilnej przez ukraińskich nacjonalistów. Opracowanie podzielone zostało na trzy części. Pierwsza odnosi się do polityki propagandowej Federacji Rosyjskiej. Ta część pokazuje w jaki sposób Kreml używa kwestii związanych z Rzezią Wołyńską do tworzenia korzystnej dla siebie narracji. Druga część poświęcona jest próbom budowy ukraińskiej tożsamości narodowej na dziedzictwie ukraińskiego nacjonalizmu. Autor analizuje w niej także konkretne działania elit ukraińskich, związane z tematem artykułu. Trzeci fragment natomiast analizuje sprawę Rzezi Wołyńskiej w oparciu o polską raison d’État. W tej części autor przedstawia nie tylko polskie spojrzenie na Rzeź Wołyńską w kontekście kryzysu ukraińskiego, lecz także odnosi ją do geopolitycznego znaczenia Ukrainy dla Polski. Poszczególne wątki są ze sobą połączone i stanowią spójną całość.The issue of the Volhynian Slaughter in the context of Ukrainian crisis — between Russian propaganda, Ukrainian seeking for the national identity and Polish raison d’ÉtatThe present article is devoted to the Volhynian Slaughter in the context of Ukrainian crisis.

The subject matter of the present article is the image of library and librarian in a forgotten short story by a Polish-Russian writer Józef Julian Sękowski (1800−1858). Sękowski is known in Polish literature as a multi-talented orientalist and polyglot, who changed his national identity in 1832 and began to write only in Russian. In the history of Russian literature he is famous for Library for Reading and Fantastic Voyages of Baron Brambeus, an ironic-grotesque work, which was precursory in Russian prose. Until 1832 Sękowski was, however, a Polish writer. His last significant work was An Audience with Lucypher published in a Polish magazine Bałamut Petersburski (Petersburgian Philanderer) in 1832 and immediately translated into Russian by Sękowski himself under the title Bolszoj wychod u Satany (1833). The library and librarian presented by the author in this piece are a caricature illustration proving his nihilistic worldview. Sękowski is a master of irony and grotesquery, yet the world he creates is deprived of freedom and justice and a book in this world is merely a threat to absolute power.

The article analyses the characteristics of the subject of evidence (Article 73 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation) of objective and subjective characteristics of crime, which are listed in Article 320 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation. Considerable attention has been given to the establishment of criminal sanctions for the disclosure of information on security measures towards law enforcement or control officials as an important guarantee of the stability of the Russian management system and legal protection activities. The characteristics of the subject-matter of the evidence in criminal matters under investigation are expressed in the need to establish objective and subjective grounds for disclosing information on security measures in the course of criminal proceedings against law enforcement or control officials. The state protection measures themselves are defined by separate regulations and are applied in the process of criminal proceedings and in the presence of evidence. However, this complex and multifaceted security process could be seriously undermined by the‘leak’ of classified security information. In case of such illegal disclosure, the penalty is defined in Article 320 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation. The authors draw attention to the existence of a direct or indirect relationship between the unauthorised activity and performing state service in legal protection bodies, as well as the need to prove the intention to commit this crime and the awareness of not disclosing secret information to unauthorized persons who do not have formal access to the above information. The authors conclude that the implementation of criminal evidence proceedings for the criminal case of the offence under Article 320 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation needs to be improved at this stage in order to increase the effectiveness and security of the protection of judges, law enforcement and control officials in Russia.

The subject matter of the penitentiary oversight of the Prosecutor's Office in terms of the range of acts includes: Universally recognised (i.e. recognised by the vast majority of states) norms (principles) of international law in terms of establishing basic natural (inalienable) human rights, including in relation to persons held in places of detention and (or) serving measures of detention, which are part of the Russian Federation legal system and are directly incorporated into Russian national law: Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, 16 December 1966; International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, 16 December 1966. Constitution of the Russian Federation. Duly ratified international treaties and agreements, which may be divided into two groups A) duly ratified multilateral international treaties and agreements (conventions). B) bilateral treaties and agreements on international legal assistance (cooperation) in terms of defining the procedure and conditions of extradition (transfer) of convicts for serving the sentence and other measures of compulsory isolation, as well as application of measures of preliminary isolation from society to those suspected or accused of committing a crime. Some 60 such treaties have now been ratified. At the national legislative level, the Office of the Procurator-General also supervises implementation of and compliance with federal laws, in addition to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The laws may be conventionally divided into two groups. The first includes laws directly regulating the execution (serving) of penitentiary isolation measures. The second group covers laws that regulate activities directly related to compulsory isolation, as well as the activities of state bodies and institutions for which the execution of sentences serves as an additional function to the main activity. The next set of laws and regulations that form the subject matter of the penitentiary over-sight of the Public Prosecutor's Office are the subordinate laws and regulations. The subject is covered by by-laws of both general and departmental nature. The main peculiarity of deter-mining the scope of supervision in relation to departmental acts is that, on the one hand, the prosecutor supervises the implementation and compliance with the requirements contained in these acts, on the other hand, they themselves serve as a subject of supervision in terms of their compliance with the legislation in force. In this regard, the adoption of key ones usually requires the approval of the Prosecutor's Office, represented by the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation or relevant subordinate prosecutors.

The article deals with the case “Application of the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Ukraine v. The Russian Federation)”, initiated by the Application of Ukraine of 16 January 2017. On November 8, 2019, as a result of the preliminary objections raised by the Russian Federation on September 12, 2018, on the Court’s jurisdiction and the admissibility of the claim, the UNs International Court of Justice rejected the preliminary objections of the Russian Federation in favor of Ukraine. In the judgment, the Court identified the subject-matter of the dispute between the parties and established its jurisdiction in accordance with art. 24.1 of the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and art. 22 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. In the article, particular attention is paid to both the analysis of the findings of the ICJ on the determination of the dispute subject-matter (disputed issues that will form the basis of the case merits) and the examination of the Court’s jurisdiction in the case. Ukraine v. Russia case has been brought by Ukraine after the events that have taken place in the east of our state and in the south – in the Crimea since the spring of 2014 and on which parties have different views. The Court noted that issues of purported “aggression” of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, or “unlawful occupation” of the territory of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, as well as the proclamation of the status of the Crimea by the Court are not within the subject-matter of dispute in the present case. In respect of the events in eastern Ukraine, the applicant initiated proceedings only under the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism. In Crimea, Ukraine’s claims are based solely on the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. Based on established jurisdiction, the Court will be able to make a final determination solely on whether by its actions (inaction) the Russian Federation has breached its international legal obligations under the conventions mentioned above – within the limits set out in the claim of Ukraine. In view of the subject-matter determined by the Court, the ICJ deciding on the merits of the case will, first, establish whether under the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism the Russian Federation was required to take measures and cooperate in the prevention and suppression of alleged terrorism financing in the context of events in eastern Ukraine and, if so, whether the Russian Federation has breached such obligations. Secondly, the Court will determine whether the respondent violated its international legal obligations by discriminatory measures applied, based on Ukraine’s position, against the Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian communities in the Crimea. The Court’s finding on the violations of the abovementioned international treaty rules will result in the Russian Federation being held liable, including in the forms of immediate termination of these violations, the resumption by the Russian Federation of the fulfillment of its international obligations under the discussed conventions, as well as compensation for losses, including those of financial kind – as it was claimed by Ukraine. Keywords: Ukraine, Russian Federation, United Nations International Court of Justice, the subject-matter of the dispute, jurisdiction, convention, terrorism financing, racial discrimination, eastern Ukraine, Crimea.
