Russian Embassy in the Republic of South Africa · 🎙Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova: 💬"The proof of mass murders of Soviet civilians and prisoners of war, tortures, slave labour and other manifestations of the inhuman #Nazi ideology, which has been collected during the investigation of the war crimes perpetrated by the Nazis and their accomplices in the occupied Soviet territories since 2020, serve as confirmation of deliberate, systematic and unprecedented genocide. This work is of fundamental significance for proving and formalising the facts of Nazis’ genocide of the Soviet peoples during the war. It will provide grounds for calling the culprits to account and help preserve the historical memory of those events. According to the materials of the Russian law enforcement authorities, civilian deaths in the #SovietUnion during the Nazi occupation amounted to more than 13.6 million. It is a matter of principle for us that the international community recognises the crimes perpetrated by the Nazis in the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War as the #genocide of the #Soviet people." 🔗Read Maria Zakharova’s interview ‘The Legal Front of Memory’ https://tinyurl.com/2n7h5aam #WorldWar2 #Nazism #history #memory #WeRemember #HistoricalMemory #MemoryMatters

🎙Ryska utrikesministeriets talskvinna Maria #Zakharova:
💬"Beviset pĂ„ massmord pĂ„ sovjetiska civila och krigsfĂ„ngar, tortyr, slavarbete och andra manifestationer av den omĂ€nskliga #nazistiska ideologin, som har samlats in under utredningen av de krigsbrott som nazisterna och deras medbrottslingar begick i de ockuperade sovjetiska bekrĂ€ftelse pĂ„ medvetet, systematiskt och aldrig tidigare skĂ„dat folkmord. Detta arbete Ă€r av grundlĂ€ggande betydelse för att bevisa och formalisera fakta om nazisternas folkmord pĂ„ Sovjet under kriget. Det kommer att ge anledning att stĂ€lla de skyldige till svars och hjĂ€lpa till att bevara det historiska minnet av dessa hĂ€ndelser.
Enligt material frÄn de ryska brottsbekÀmpande myndigheterna uppgick civila dödsfall i #Sovjetunionen under den nazistiska ockupationen till mer Àn 13,6 miljoner. Det Àr en principfrÄga för oss att vÀrldssamfundet erkÀnner de brott som nazisterna begick i Sovjetunionen under stora patriotiska kriget som #folkmordet pÄ #sovjetfolket. "
