In an article by the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Office and other International Organizations in Geneva, Alexey Borodavkin, published in the newspaper Tribune de Genève on May 9-10, it is said that Russia would "continue to resist attempts to make heroes of the Nazis and their henchmen, no matter how disguised they are."
The decisive contribution to the defeat of Hitler's war machine, he said, was made by the Red Army, which destroyed three-quarters of the military potential of the Nazis, defeated and captured 607 divisions. "That is why we so keenly feel the falsehood and deception, when someone tries to distort history and to whitewash the heroes of the Nazis, to submit their accomplices as "fighters for national liberation," the article is quoted by Tass.Of genuine concern, the diplomat said, is the fact that "in some European countries, Nazi ideology is raising its head and anti-fascists are being persecuted."
