The decision of the Estonian State Prosecutor’s Office to cease the investigation in the criminal case of Mikhail Gorshkov, a citizen of the country, accused of having committed atrocities in Belarus during World War II, is bewildering. There is no foundation whatsoever for claiming that it is impossible to establish the involvement of Gorshkov in the murder of more than 3000 Jews in the Slutsk ghetto, since the US authorities, where Gorshkov previously lived, have provided all necessary information in this regard.

This position of Estonian investigative bodies in relation to one of the principal (as the Simon Wiesenthal Center believes) Nazi criminals cannot be regarded otherwise than as a mockery of the memory of fascist victims and as an outright challenge to the decisions of the Nuremberg Tribunal, which constitute an integral part of the modern world legal space.
