Moscow will compile a “black list” of politicians who have tainted themselves by rehabilitating Nazism
In Russia they want to create a “black list” of politicians, historians and deputies who rehabilitate Nazism.
Such recommendations, Izvestia reports, are contained in the report of the Moscow Bureau for Human Rights.
“The document contains the following recommendations to the relevant departments and parliament:
Go to compiling “black lists” of politicians and historians who have stained themselves with the rehabilitation of Nazism, attacks on the Red Army and the USSR during the Second World War;
Conduct a detailed inventory of memorial sites and memorials to Soviet soldiers;
Compose a “red book” of monuments and memorials, as well as intensify the development of joint resolutions condemning racism, xenophobia, propaganda of nationalism, Nazism, Holocaust denial, and intensify criminal prosecution of vandals. ”
The text of the report notes that the rewriting of history is becoming an increasingly organized and coordinated political course of European politics.
“With the help of discrediting the USSR, equating communism with fascism and Nazism, the memory of the Second World War is being replaced by the myth of the great victory of the collective West in it, where historical Russia is clearly seen as the side of evil. As a consequence, the assertion that it is unlawful for her to occupy a seat as a permanent member of the UN Security Council,” the document emphasizes.
In addition, the report says, at the highest level of European authorities, with the support of the United States, a new “unification standard” was adopted, according to which the USSR and Nazi Germany are equally to blame for the outbreak of the Second World War. The decisive contribution of the Soviet Union to the victory over the Third Reich is either denied or downplayed. At the same time, the responsibility of Western countries in “appeasing Hitler,” as well as the policies of authoritarian Eastern European regimes, are hushed up in every possible way.
“The closer the Victory anniversary is, the more often we record cases of distortion of historical memory and vandalism. Politicians from the states of Central and Eastern Europe, primarily Poland, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, and the Baltic countries, are most consistently fighting against the symbols of Victory,” Alexander Brod, head of the Moscow Bureau for Human Rights, member of the Human Rights Council, told the publication.
He is convinced that an answer needs to be given, and therefore recommendations have been prepared for ministries, the Russian parliament and law enforcement agencies.
As PolitNavigator reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin continued to voice harsh criticism of Poland, where the ruling elite exploits the historical myth of the USSR’s complicity in the outbreak of World War II on a par with Hitler’s Germany and initiates the demolition of monuments to the heroes of the Red Army.
