Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the countries of the Collective West are currently making active attempts to falsify history and glorify Nazi criminals. This was reported in the press service of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Sergey Lavrov made a welcoming speech at the International Forum ‘The Memory of the Winners. 80 Years of Victory in the Great Patriotic War’. The round table also gathered coordinators of the ‘Immortal Regiment’ in near and far abroad countries.
The diplomat emphasised that the ‘Immortal Regiment’ campaign contributes to preserving historical memory, ensuring the connection of times and generations, maintaining in millions of Russian citizens and compatriots living abroad a sense of pride in their ancestors who saved humanity from the horrors of the ‘brown plague’.
‘Today, when attempts to falsify history are multiplying and Nazis and their henchmen are openly glorified in a number of countries in the European region, primarily in Ukraine and the Baltic states, your noble, heroic activity takes on special significance,’ Sergey Lavrov stressed.
We shall remind you that earlier Belarusian Ambassador to Switzerland Aliaksandr Ganevich said that after the collapse of the USSR the mass media of the Collective West countries ‘believed in their own infallibility’ and began to criticise any alternative information that did not correspond to Western narratives.
