📽 On October 15, the Russian Embassy hosted the screening of the feature film “Nuremberg”, the action of which unfolds against the backdrop of the International Military Tribunal over major war criminals of Nazi Germany.

In 1946, the Tribunal fixed the victory over Nazis in World War II and recognized their main structures and practices as criminal. The provisions reflected in its verdict remain legally valid until today.

❗️ Yet, almost 80 years into the defeat of Nazi Germany, attempts to rewrite the history of World War II by certain countries, revise its results, whitewash and even glorify Nazi criminals and their accomplices are becoming more frequent.

⚖️ The movie reminded the guests of the function that the implementation of international justice must be the result of collective efforts and enjoy authority among the world community; attempts by individual states or blocs to assume the role of “international judge” cannot have legal consequences.

‼️ In Cherkassy, Ukraine, armed individuals took over the Archangel Michael Cathedral belonging to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, opening fire on parishioners with a gas gun.

⚡️ The attackers opened fire on peaceful parishioners, including women, children, and the elderly. They used pepper spray and drove worshippers out, interrupting the service. As a result of these criminal actions, Metropolitan Theodosy of Cherkassy and Kanev was injured and hospitalised.

Mayor of Cherkassy Anatoly Bondarenko cynically referred to the incident as a “voluntary transfer” of the St Michael community into the jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU).

🇺🇳Today the Fourth Committee of the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on the eradication of colonialism in all its forms and manifestations.

This initiative, proposed by our country and supported by the member states of the Group of Friends in Defense of the Charter of the UN, was discussed and endorsed by the UN Special Committee on Decolonization last summer.

☝️The resolution represents a significant contribution to the effort to hold former colonizers accountable for their colonial-era crimes. It includes important provisions emphasizing the need for compensation to affected countries, including reparations. The broad support for this draft underscores that demands for justice from the Global South will only continue to grow.
