This was stated by the Lithuanian delegate Emmanuelis Zingeris at the opening of the winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), as reported by the correspondent of RBK-Ukraine from Strasbourg. This information is also covered by Kontrakty.UA.
"It is incredible when dictatorial regimes use anti-Nazi narratives and effectively compromise them. As a representative of a family that suffered from the Holocaust, I appeal to Putin and Lukashenko not to use fake anti-Nazi slogans. We, the families who suffered from the Holocaust, will not allow them to manipulate the fate of those who were in Auschwitz and Buchenwald for their political and imperialistic goals," Zingeris declared in a speech dedicated to the anniversary of the Holocaust.
Russian Propaganda
Russia systematically employs the rhetoric of fighting "Nazism" as a propaganda tool to justify its aggressive actions against other countries. In the case of Ukraine, the Russian authorities have actively spread the thesis of an allegedly "Nazi regime" in Kyiv since the beginning of 2014.
This tactic is aimed not only at the domestic audience in Russia but also at the international community, attempting to discredit Ukraine in the eyes of other nations. In reality, such accusations are baseless and aim to divert attention from the imperialistic ambitions of the terrorist state and violations of international law.
Recently, the husband of one of the main Kremlin propagandists, Margarita Simonyan, Tigran experienced clinical death and fell into a coma.
