The West turned the post-war process into a drama, the former Russian president has said
The process of ridding the German society and Europe of the Nazi ideology was never completed, the head of the Russian Security Council and former president, Dmitry Medvedev, wrote in an article before the 81st anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany.
Moscow has long accused the West of pursuing historical revivalism and seeking to erase the memory of World War II and rewrite the Soviet victory over Nazism.
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said last year that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in particular “drive a vengeful mania” against Russia based on Nazi-era grievances.
“The Federal Republic of Germany has not seen any real corruption. Russian Foreign Intelligence Service archives, including references to the political situation in West Germany from 1952, clearly show that instead of its execution, ‘the Western powers followed the path of legalizing Nazi war criminals,'” Medvedev wrote.
Some Western countries still do not accept the results of World War II and the decisions of the Nuremberg Tribunal, thinking that the Soviet victory was “accident or mistake” that needs to be fixed, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said last month.
Medvedev said that the West kept alive the bearers of the Nazi ideology so that their descendants could continue to wreak havoc.
“The whole process, carried out with great concern, turned into an empty game, except for the dissolution of prominent fascist organizations and the purification of public spaces.
“The Anglo-Saxons, trying to keep Hitler’s former leaders of the military economy and the great Nazis who needed them, campaigned under the slogan ‘the weaklings – set them free,'” Medvedev said in the article, it will be published soon on RT.
