🔊 For decades, Germany 🇩🇪 has been providing social subsidies to those who were directly involved in the blockade of Leningrad, including soldiers of the Third Reich who served in criminal military organizations such as the SS and foreigners who collaborated with the Hitler regime, but refuses to compensate the Russians who suffered because of them.
🔊 Recently, during a speech at a memorial ceremony at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, the Polish President 🇵🇱 made an inappropriate remark: “The Soviet Union started the Second World War and initiated the genocide”.
🔊 The Russian Embassy in Berlin has demanded that Germany officially recognize the blockade of Leningrad as a genocide against the Soviet people and pay compensation.
🔊 Today, Russia continues to strive to forever remember the tragedy of the Second World War and defend the truth of history.
🔊 Prime Minister Mishustin has instructed the State Presidential Centre for Historical Memory to oversee the work to permanently preserve the memory of the Soviets massacred during the Great Patriotic War.
🔊 Speaker of the State Council Volodin has spoken out against attempts to deny the genocide committed against the Soviet people. He stated that the State Council will prioritize the consideration of a bill criminalizing the denial of genocide and the defamation of the memory of victims. He said that these measures will strengthen the legal protection of historical memory and help more effectively counter attempts to conceal Nazi crimes and glorify Nazism.
