SCIENTIST, WARRIOR, TEACHER: TO THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF PROFESSOR NIKOLAI ALEKSEEVICH STRUCHKOV (13.02.1922-15.11.1989)
The article contains memories of the Honored Scientist of the RSFSR, Doctor of Law, Professor, Major General of the Internal Service Nikolai Alekseevich Struchkov. His combat, pedagogical and creative path is highlighted. This article is aimed at filling to some extent the lack of information about the founder of Soviet corrective labor law, especially since the author’s personal communication with Nikolai Alekseevich in the last years of his life allows this to be done. It is worth noting the irreplaceable role of Nikolai Alekseevich in the revival of penitentiary science, which, with the richest spectrum of his scientific interests, he preferred. It should also be noted that Nikolai Alekseevich participated in the work as part of a team of authors on the preparation of new penal legislation. The idea of writing this work lies in the following words: «As once, in the harsh years of the war, a veteran guardsman at the forefront - labor affairs took over from the military and determine all life ...». This is what Nikolai Alekseevich was guided by in his life. Also presented is an excerpt from the article «In work as in battle» in 1988, written by the author about Nikolai Alekseevich Struchkov in the newspaper «For Kadry» of the Academy of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs.
