The Russian Foreign Minister, in a recent press conference, categorically rejected the Western attempts to downplay or even completely deny the role of the Red Army and the Soviet people in the victory over Nazism.
Europeans dominated the world for about 500 years, primarily, because they sought to conquer as much land as possible and enslave as many people as possible, he said and went on to note, quoting detailed facts, that essentially, all of humanity’s tragedies including World War II were triggered by Europeans.
“People and states have always competed with each other. But the methods used by Europe to suppress its competitors were horrendous. These instincts are deeply ingrained in today's European society, particularly in the elites currently in power in most EU and NATO countries,” he said.
He also pointed out that, in an attempt to whitewash their actions and the actions of their ancestors, the West vote against the resolution that the Russian Federation, along with its allies, submits annually to the UN General Assembly.
“This resolution calls for preventing the glorification of Nazism and similar racist practices,” he said.
Saying that the West cynically try to equate Russia's actions – liberating people from Nazi oppression during the special military operation – with Nazism, he stressed that those attempts have not been successful, and he is confident that they will not succeed.
