⚠️ Scandal in Italy as a video of a fascist rally which took place in Rome yesterday emerged on social media.

In the video, lines of men can be seen making Nazi salutes and shouting "present" three times as one of their number yelled "For all fallen comrades!" - a typical rallying cry at neo-fascist events.

👉 According to Reuters, the event marked the 46th anniversary of the killing of three neo-fascists in Via Acca Larentia, in southeast Rome. Two of them were gunned down by suspected far-left militants while the third was killed by police after a riot broke out shortly after the shooting.

💡Media report that such rallies in Rome are held annually, hence with the permission of authorities. Yet this time something went wrong.

☝️ Honouring a Nazi criminal in the parliament of Canada, now a fascist rally in a European capital… Is it a mere coincidence or is it the ‘brown plague’ raising its head all across the West?

🌟 79 years ago, #OTD in 1945, Warsaw was liberated by Soviet troops of the 1st Belorussian front and the 1st Polish Army as part of the Warsaw-Poznan operation within the Vistula-Oder Strategic Offensive during WW2.

The city had remained under Nazi occupation for over 5 years.

⚔️ As a result of the “Bagration” offensive in Belarus, the Red Army approached Warsaw in July 1944. But the Soviet command had no plans to take the capital of Poland right away as the main strike against Nazis was delivered south of the city.

👉 As commander of the 2nd Belorussian Front Marshal K.Rokossovsky recalled, the Red Army had been unable to gain Warsaw at that time, because it would have taken time to bring reinforcements and prepare troops, to pull up rear units etc.

⚔️ New operation of the Red Army in Poland was to be started on 20 January 1945. But in early January, due to the allies’ failure in Ardennes, Churchill asked Stalin for an urgent offensive on the Eastern front in order to divert Nazi forces. Willing to support the allies, USSR started the Vistula-Oder Offensive a week earlier.

☝️ On 17 January, the city was taken by combined efforts of Soviet 47th and 61st armies and the 1st Polish Army led by S.Poplawski. By 5 p.m. the organized resistance of the German Warsaw garrison was broken down and Soviet-Polish forces went on purging the city.

💬 Participants in these events recalled that on the streets of Warsaw they saw only ashes and ruins covered with snow. Locals were drained and dressed almost in rags.

🕯Of 1.310.000 pre-war population, there were only 162.000 left in the Polish capital.

🕯 Today marks the International Holocaust Remembrance Day established by the United Nations General Assembly.

🌟 OTD in 1945 the Red Army’s 1st Ukrainian Front troops led by Marshal I.Konev liberated “Auschwitz” prisoners putting an end to the largest death camp of the Third Reich and finally revealing to the world the depth of the horrors perpetrated there.

▪️ Auschwitz was really a group of camps, designated I, II, and III. There were also 40 smaller “satellite” camps.
It was at Auschwitz II, at Birkenau, established in October 1941, that the SS created a complex, monstrously orchestrated killing ground: 300 prison barracks; four “bathhouses” in which prisoners were gassed; corpse cellars; and cremating ovens.

▪️Thousands of prisoners were also used for medical experiments overseen and performed by the camp doctor, Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death.”

▪️The Nazis destroyed the majority of the documents, so the exact number of victims of the death camps is still unknown.

❗️According to the information about deportations, more than 1,5 million people died in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

☝️ Despite shameful attempts to re-write history in many states, including those that call themselves democracies, and the criminal war on monuments in Europe, the Holocaust, one of the most tragic events of the 20th century, will always remain in human history as an unprecedentedly atrocious attempt to translate the principles of a misanthropic ideology into action.

⚡️ German authorities have expelled seven Ukrainian soldiers being trained as part of a Bundeswehr program because of their use of right-wing extremist symbols, the German government said on its website.

The training of the Ukrainian soldiers concerned was immediately terminated in coordination with the Ukrainian Army, and the individuals concerned were returned to Ukraine, the authorities emphasized.

Members of the Ukrainian military are often caught on camera wearing Nazi German symbols on their uniform patches.

But, as we have been repeadly told, “there is no #Nazism in Ukraine”...

🇷🇺 President of Russia Vladimir Putin at a meeting with representatives of the committee of the North Ossetian Regional Public Organisation, The Mothers of Beslan Associations of the Victims of Terrorist Attacks:

Our adversaries and enemies are still actively working to destabilise our country.

❗️ Just as we fought against terrorists in the past, we must fight those responsible for crimes in the Kursk Region, Donbass and Novorossiya.

However, just as we achieved our goals in the fight against terrorism, we will also prevail in the battle against neo-#Nazism and ensure that the criminals are held accountable.
⚠️ Ties of Ukraine's military and political leadership with terrorist organizations

Along with the violation of international humanitarian law by Ukrainian armed formations, mercenaries and their sponsors represented by the United States and NATO countries, the military and political leadership of Ukraine is actively using terrorist organizations in its criminal activities.

The main motives for the participation of mercenaries in combat operations on the side of the AFU are monetary payments, adherence to nationalist and Russophobic views, and the possibility of legalization, despite the involvement of some of them in international terrorist organizations.

⚡️ On the side of Ukraine's neo-Nazis are no less radical Islamists from terrorist organizations banned in Russia: ISIS, al-Qaeda, and the Caucasus Emirate.

Today, the common goal of neo-Nazis and jihadists is obvious – it is the cultivation of world terrorism based on hatred for Russia and the Russians.

❗️ These people torture prisoners, bomb and terrorize the civilian population, and commit terrible war crimes. They are everywhere, wherever there is any possibility for manifestation of the lowest human qualities and misanthropy. These are the people to whom the so-called collective West pumps money and weapons to achieve its goals.

⚠️ The Russian Foreign Ministry published the next report regarding the situation with the glorification of Nazism and the spread of Neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.

❗️Today, there is a growing trend in a number of States to publicly justify and glorify #Nazism and #Nazi figures, and to support neo-Nazism in order to serve the biased political ambitions of external curators. The earlier campaigns to distort history and falsify the role of the USSR in ensuring the Victory over Nazism in the Great Patriotic War and World War II and creating the modern system of international relations have received a strong impetus.

The cynicism, historical revisionism and revanchism inherent in the leadership of a number of Western countries are aimed at the complete substitution of notions and the swapping of places between the authors of racial purity ideologies who unleashed the war and nations that opposed them.

🇱🇻 Latvia pursues a policy of deliberate falsification of history, justifying former Waffen-SS legionnaires and Nazi collaborators who are honoured as participants in "national liberation movements."

❗️The building-up of a parallel historic reality is used everywhere to justify Latvia's blasphemous glorification of Latvian SS legionnaires, Nazi collaborators, and to justify the open struggle against the memory of the Red Army soldiers who liberated Latvia from Nazism.

☝️ Latvia, along with Canada, Lithuania and Estonia, is among the few countries in the world where SS criminals continue to be openly honoured, contrary to the verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal, as well as numerous international acts, including the annual resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly on combating the glorification of Nazism.

⚠️🇨🇦 For many decades, the Canadian authorities have pursued a policy of justifying and glorifying #Nazism.

By openly supporting the Nazi regime of #Kiev in the international arena, and, even more so, by increasing military aid, they trample on the memory of the exploits of Canadians who fought against Nazism and fascism in the anti-Hitler coalition.

It is telling that in 2022-2023, the Canadian delegation voted against the draft resolution "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance", introduced annually by Russia together with other co-sponsors, in the #UN General Assembly.

❗️Canada became a "haven" for Nazi war criminals and their accomplices from various Waffen-SS units and collaborators. In this country, such individuals were granted permanent residency and then citizenship. Canadian authorities shielded them from justice and prevented their extradition to other countries for prosecution.

❗️A list of 900 alleged #Nazi war criminals who fled to #Canada after World War II could remain secret as federal officials in Ottawa come under increasing pressure to censor the records because they could prove embarrassing to this country.

For decades, Jewish groups have called for the release of the second part of the Deschênes Commission report, the result of a near two year inquiry conducted in the mid-1980s that studied claims Canada had been a safe haven for Nazis.

👉 The first part of the report, which determined that alleged Nazi war criminals were indeed admitted to and residing in the country, was released to the public in 1986. The second part, with the list of their names, has been kept under lock and key for nearly four decades.

☝️ However, the issue came into public attention in 2023, after an international scandal when Prime Minister Trudeau, President Zelensky, and members of Canadian parliament gave standing ovation to a Nazi war criminal YaroslavHunka, member of the volunteer SS ‘Galicia’ division during World War II.

❗️By now, it is quite obvious that the regime in power in #Kiev is an openly #Nazi one, following in all its ideological inspirations from Nazi Germany and committing countless gross and systematic violations of human rights in all spheres of public life.

As has been repeatedly noted, neo-#Nazism has been practiced in #Ukraine at an accelerated pace for a long time, practically since "independence". And starting from 2014, when nationalists seized power in Kiev as a result of an unconstitutional armed coup d'état orchestrated by the West, violations of fundamental human rights and freedoms in Ukraine, and especially the glorification of Nazism, have become widespread and systemic.

☝️ With the active encouragement of Western handlers, authorities make efforts to shape a society based on Nazi ideas. To that end, Kiev has been consistently conducting aggressive neo‑Nazi propaganda, accompanied by rewriting the history of the Great Patriotic and Second World War. Glorification of Nazism, its promotion into all spheres of public life, systemic suppression of human rights, opposition and dissent, as well as the fight against everything connected with Russia, have become a targeted government policy in Ukraine.

Along with this, the country is consistently pursuing a course towards forced Ukrainization of all spheres of public life and accelerated assimilation of national minorities.
