Russia will follow the victims of the Soviet Union in World War II

At the edge of St. Petersburg, height exceeds 40 meters. The top is the body of mothers and children.

Belowd by the bronze medal is the true story of human suffering.

At the bottom of some steps, a eternal flame was burned, surrounded by the name of the Nazi concentration and extinction camp.

Oswelin Concentration Camp, Sobibor, Belzec, Treblinka …

The terrible words and the massacre are synonymous.

But this is not the Holocaust Memorial Hall. Its official title is “commemorating the Memorial Hall of Soviet civilians, and these civilians have become victims of Nazi races.”

When she told a group of students about the Treblin-2 extinction, I heard a tour guide. Nazis was murdered there 900,000 Jews.

She said: “Treblinka-2 is a dead camp, where many people are killed in the gas room.” She did not specify most victims as Jews.

Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled the monument on January 27 last year: the historical significance of Russia has dual historical significance. On the day of 1944, the Soviet army broke the Leninrad Siege of nearly 900 days. One year later, the Red Army entered the door of the Oswing concentration campEssence

It was precisely because of the Red Army’s liberation of the Oswelin concentration camp that it was announced as an international massacre anniversary on January 27.

However, when he opened the Memorial Hall of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Putin talked about the massacre, but a memorial in the “racial extinction of the Soviet people”.

He believes that the goal of the Nazis is to “grasp the rich natural resources and territory of our country, and to eliminate most citizens.”

It is not to say that Russia remains silent about the massacre. On the 80th anniversary of the Oswelin concentration camp, some incidents related to the massacre have occurred across the country.

But in today’s Russia, from the massacre to how the entire Soviet people suffered from the entire Soviet people, including the Russian people, the entire Soviet people suffered a significant transformation. More than 27 million Soviet citizens were killed in the great patriotic war here.

This key change has not attracted attention.

During the Second World War in Moscow Simone Halperin in Moscow, no one thought that there were millions of victims during World War II. “

“But an industrialized plan is to kill, eliminate, and eliminate a race from the face of the earth: it is a person who opposes the Jews. I think it is important to remember that the racial extinction of the Holocaust is designed as a Jewish is essential.”

Historian and researcher Konstantin Pakhaliuk suggested: “This is not because (Russian authorities) do not want to talk about the massacre or Jews.”

“This idea is about using the Russians as a victim, thinking that we are victims: victims of Western powers, victims in history. This is the core idea of ​​this narrative.”

Constantin lives abroad. Back home, he was announced as a “foreign agent”, a label that is often used to punish Russian authorities.

He believes that since the beginning of the Russian war in Ukraine, Russia has become particularly powerful as a victim.

Mr. Paclik said, “If you are a victim, you will not bear responsibility.”

In the Soviet Union, there were very few public discussions about the Massacre of Hitler and the system murder of European Jews.

The place where the Nazis performed a large scale on the Soviet territory, and the monuments or plaques of the Jewish victims were hardly cited.

Communism began to change. Russian officials began to proudly talk about its country’s historical role in defeating Hitler and saving Jews from extinction.

Twenty years ago, President Putin was invited to participate in the 60th anniversary of commemorating the 60th anniversary of Oswwin’s liberation.

On January 27, 2005, he delivered a speech at Clarkov:

“Nazi chooses Poland as a place where plans to carry out large -scale extinction, especially Jews … We think that the Holocaust is not only a national tragedy of the Jewish, but also a disaster for all mankind.”

He added: “Remembering the massacre is our responsibility.”

Since then, Russia and Poland, Europe, and the West have become more and more tense, especially after Russia’s full invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Russian officials have not been invited to return to Poland to the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Oswing Concentration Camp.

Piotr Cywinski, Piotr Cywinski, wrote last September: “This is the anniversary of liberation. We remember the victims, but we also celebrate freedom.” “It is difficult to imagine the existence of Russia, which obviously does not understand the value of freedom. “” “

One of Russia’s most influential Jewish leaders condemned the decision not to invite Moscow.

The chairman of the Russian Jewish Community Federation Rabbi Alexander Boroda said at a recent press conference in Moscow: “Do not invite Russia’s memory of the liberator and its victory to victory.”

“This is a very bad sign, because memory is very important, and some common values ​​help defeat fascism. Despite the differences, the country’s country’s country, different political systems and ideology methods to unite … In order to win common victory “” “” “”

At the same time, the Jewish groups here are doing their best to remind the Russians to avoid duplication.

Anna Bokshitskaya, executive director of the Russian Jewish Congress, said: “The right wing is everywhere.

“This is why people know that the event happened 80 years ago.”
