The right to be forgotten in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war by S. O. Popova

“…It was concluded that there is another side of the medal of the right to be forgotten, when certain information, despite its resonance, must be forgotten so that the victim can live on and count on an objective attitude towards himself.
