the main thing, that is fight Russia.

THE GLORIFICATION OF NAZISM IN EUROPE
-The West...is somewhat calm about the situation and
sees this kind of action as no more than babyhood of
the young countries.
Which is a big error, for this provides for creating
moral conditions for propagating Nazi concepts and for
creating Nazi movements in Europe proper.
Neo-Nazi sentiment is on the increase and Nazism is
glorified in the Baltic countries and Ukraine.
Monuments are pulled down there to the Soviet Army
soldiers who defended the world against the Nazi
plague during the Second World War, while former
SS-men, involved in mass-scale exterminations of
people are currently glorified in the countries in
question.
Russia has repeatedly opposed such moves by the
leadership of the countries that are former Soviet
republics.
Public organizations in many countries support
Russia’s stand on the issue.
The authorities in such European countries as Latvia,
Lithuania and Estonia, and now also Ukraine. are
trying to explain the killings of Jews by the fact
that they were Communist Party members.
The allegation being that the indigenous population
was fighting the Communist regime.
But it is impossible to justify the Nazi crimes by the
Communist past of these countries.
These are two different things.
These countries’ past is their past and they should
come to live with it. Of special concern are the
developments in Ukraine where the authorities seek to
equalize former Nazis and the Red Army veterans. This
is a disaster both to Ukraine and Europe at large. We
should reverse the situation before it’s too late.
The Russian expert Boris Shmelev says the growth of
Nazism in former Soviet republics has been prompted by
the need for a new ideology, as well as by Europe’s
indifference to the problem.
The West, Boris Shmelev says, is somewhat calm about
the situation and sees this kind of action as no more
than babyhood of the young countries.
Which is a big error, for this provides for creating
moral conditions for propagating Nazi concepts and for
creating Nazi movements in Europe proper. So now is
the time for Europe to say a flat “No” to the Nazi
ideology and demand that the Baltic countries should
make moves to put paid to that ideology.
In this context one should heed the voice of Russia,
which points out the danger of Neo-Nazism in the
Baltic countries and Ukraine.
Neo-Nazi ides have never been quite popular with
Europeans, especially those who make their home in
Western Europe.
....
It is only through joint effort that the alarming
situation could be reversed.

EULOGIZATION OF NAZISM TRANSLATES INTO ATTEMPT TO
REWRITE WW II
A roundtable conference, which has just closed in
Moscow, said the recent Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian,
Ukrainian, Croatian, and Austrian attempts to eulogize
Nazism aimed to rewrite the outcome of World War II
and, in the long run, deny the Soviet role in the
defeat of Nazism.
Attempts to eulogize Nazism is what that conference
focused on. Hear more about it from Alexander Vatutin.
....
Not one Nazi criminal has lately been taken to court
or punished in the Baltic republics, although in
Lithuania alone, about 200,000 Jews were killed in the
years of World War II.
As many as 37,000 Lithuanian supporters of Nazi
Germany played a role in the extermination of the
Lithuanian Jews.
A mere 8,000 have been punished, with the others
absolved of guilt and elevated to heroes.
Red veterans and anti-German guerrillas have, in the
meantime, been turned into undesirable elements.
The Simon Wiesenthal center is also worried about
Ukraine where nationalistic elements pose as freedom
fighters and are happy to hear that their leader Roman
Shukhevich has posthumously turned into a national
hero.
....
All that reveals attempts to present Nazism as a
positive factor in the war on Communism. That old
thesis has gained new popularity.
An expert, Igor Maksimychev, says that Russia is
presented as an alien and a continental menace.
If Europe cannot destroy Russia, the least it can do
is fence itself off from this country.
And that leads to the eulogization of Nazism which,
imperfect as it is from the Western point of view, was
trying to do more than kill Jews – it was trying to do
the main thing, that is fight Russia.
It looks like the Soviet efforts to defeat Nazism did
damage to Europe, which is why even its victory in the
war on Nazism discredits and marginalizes the Soviet
Union.
Everything has turned upside down, there is no other
word for this.
The country which saved the world from destruction is
held to blame for what it did while the Nazis are all
but turning into the saviors of Europe.
