Abstract
The article highlights examples from the history of the Great Patriotic War that characterize the moral values of the peoples of Russia, among which service to the Motherland, patriotism, unity, solidarity, sacrifice, mutual help, ancestor worship. The materials are analyzed on the example of the Mordvins. Customary-legal aspects are related to the affirmation of these values as necessary conditions for the traditional legal culture. An important part of the legal and anthropological review is the contribution of individual statesmen and jurists of Mordvinian origin to the Great Victory. The article reports on such prominent representatives of the Mordvinian people as Army General Maxim Alekseevich Purkaev and corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Pyotr Semenovich Romashkin.
