The features of criminal proceedings in cases of rehabilitation of nazism committed using the Internet

Introduction. The topic of bringing to criminal responsibility persons who commit crimes aimed at the rehabilitation of Nazism in the modern military-political conditions of the struggle against Ukraine where Nazism has spread in the most cynical form, is particularly relevant. The prospects for a change in the situation are still not observed; the political situation at the international level indicates the spread of the ideas of the superiority of one race or nation over other peoples and cultures which poses a threat to world and regional security. The purpose is to identify gaps and contradictions in the criminal procedure legislation and the difficulties of law enforcement practice in the investigation of criminal cases on the rehabilitation of Nazism, and to formulate proposals to improve the regulatory framework and the organization of law enforcers’ work in this direction. Methods. In the course of the study, such methods of cognition as formal-legal (the study of the norms of law), concrete-sociological and comparative-legal were applied. Results. The paper offers options for correcting legal deficiencies and eliminating ambiguities in law enforcement practice in the investigation of criminal cases on the rehabilitation of Nazism. Conclusions. The suggestions and recommendations set out in the paper are aimed at developing uniform investigative and judicial practice and can be used in teaching criminal law disciplines, as well as in the practical activities of employees of preliminary investigation bodies, prosecutor’s office and courts.
