📄 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's article (July 19, 2023)

Remembering All the Holocaust’s Victims

🔗 Read in full

💬 The stubborn refusal to see the Nazi nature of the Kiev regime runs deep and is fuelled by nationalism that has taken root in the West and is based on notions of superiority and exceptionalism.

Decades after one of the worst WWII tragedies unfolded - the Siege of Leningrad - in 2021, Germany decided to pay compensation to the residents of the city.

Not so fast.

👉 From the German point of view, not everyone is eligible for the compensation, only the people who can prove their Jewish ancestry. An abominable and inexplicable division based on ethnicity. <...> It was revealed that Berlin is making official payments... to former collaborators.

Once again, let that sink in: In the 21st century, Germany is paying collaborators who ratted out Jews and partisans to the Polizei, but is not willing to pay the survivors of the Siege of Leningrad

A new interview with Michael Brodsky, Israel's ambassador to Ukraine (we've discussed his previous remarks), in which he once again justifies the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, is a dreadful read. <...>

The Holocaust was the persecution and mass extermination by the Nazis of members of various ethnic and social groups.

❗️ This is the way it is laid:
• UNGA A/RES/60/7;
• UNESCO Resolution 34C/61;
• OSCE Berlin Declaration.

We are following universally accepted provisions in connection with the blatant manifestations of the West-supported ethnic hatred, segregation and xenophobia in Ukraine.

Do you realise why it is important to remember the Holocaust? Not because the Nazis killed one or more specific ethnicities, but because discriminating against people on the basis of ethnicity is not an option in principle <...>

☝️ Unfortunately, genocides have not taught humanity anything. The worst part is that today the descendants of the victims have become advocates for those who killed their ancestors. And this is just one step away from the apocalypse.
