VIENNA, October 6 - RIA Novosti. Any attempts to review the events of World War II and revise its results are unacceptable, said Russia's permanent representative to the OSCE Dmitry Polyansky.
“Any attempts to review the events of the Second World War and revise its results, including placing equal responsibility for the outbreak of the war on the USSR and Nazi criminals, are unacceptable,” Polyansky said, speaking at a round table meeting in Vienna dedicated to the memory of the tragedy in the Maly Trostenets concentration camp. Excerpts from his speech are provided by the “Russia in the OSCE” Telegram channel.
The Permanent Representative of Russia recalled that during the years of occupation of Belarus by the Nazis, thousands of cities and villages were burned and destroyed, dozens of death camps and other places of mass extermination of people were created.
“The republic lost every third resident. The village of Khatyn became a terrible symbol of cruelty for the entire Soviet people,” Polyansky noted.
One of the most sorrowful pages of the Great Patriotic War was also, according to him, the Maly Trostenets concentration camp, in which more than 200 thousand prisoners of war and civilians were brutally killed. In this regard, Polyansky called for doing everything possible to preserve the memory of the tragedy of the genocide of the Soviet people, not to forget about the courage of millions of soldiers, partisans, home front workers and civilians who gave their lives in the struggle for peace and freedom.
In addition, the head of the Russian diplomatic mission to the OSCE indicated that the profile report of the Russian Foreign Ministry on the fight against the glorification of Nazism for 2026, which was previously distributed in the organization, recorded irrefutable facts of how misanthropic ideology is becoming a state ideology in Ukraine and the Baltic countries. He stressed that vandalism of monuments, honoring Nazi henchmen and banning the Russian language have no justification.
