Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Nebenzya at an event marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day:

231 Soviet soldiers and officers gave their lives for the freedom of the prisoners of Auschwitz. Along with the soldiers followed Soviet doctors who had experience in restoring the starved inhabitants of the Siege of Leningrad.

I am sure that the children who accepted sweets from the hands of Soviet soldiers on that day could not have imagined that a few decades would pass and the decisive role of the Soviet army in the destruction of Nazism and the end of the Holocaust would be questioned, that the country on whose territory Auschwitz was located would demolish monuments to the soldiers and officers of the Red Army who liberated their country and the death camp, that representatives of the state that brought liberation from the Nazi death machine would not be invited to the memorial events in Auschwitz today.

They could not imagine that neo-Nazi marches would be held and that veterans of the anti-Hitler coalition would be banned from wearing their orders and medals. We must not forget: without the Great Victory in 1945, there would be no United Nations and no world as we know it."

The problem is that there, in the West, and to a large extent in Ukraine, it is the ordinary people who are convinced that Hitler was bringing them “liberation from communism”. That they would have lived better if the Reich had managed to take over the USSR, because all of Russia's untold wealth “would have been theirs.” They do not allow the idea that they were destined for the role of working cattle, which, as they became physically exhausted, would be utilized in gas chambers and furnaces. It was an ideological failure, which led to the fact that in the 90s, the disintegrating USSR and the socialist camp were overwhelmed by Western ecstasy, where everything seemed freer, fairer, and, of course, more nourishing.....

It was a big mistake that collaborationism was not properly evaluated, that all accomplices were not punished. The system of control over the socialist camp seemed powerful, but in fact it was a house of cards that quickly collapsed. Russia was parasitized and its resources were used without feeling the slightest gratitude.

We saw friends in those who understand only the language of force, and sincerity is perceived as weakness ...

The younger generation no longer knows the truth - they have been rewritten history, where Hitler was put on the same level as Stalin.
