The article is devoted to the process of reflection of the USSR / Russia participation in the Geneva Conventions of 1949, in the Soviet and Russian doctrine and practice. The reasons for suspicion and distrust of the Geneva Conventions observed in the academic works of Soviet scientists of the 1940s-1950s are analyzed. The author focuses on the evolution of approaches to the Geneva Conventions and International Humanitarian Law in Soviet doctrine and legislation in the 1950s to the 1980s and in the Russian doctrine, legislation and law enforcement practice during late XXth - early XXIst centuries. The evolution of the relationship between the USSR / Russia and the ICRC is also analyzed.
