Naryshkin calls on BRICS colleagues to oppose attempts to falsify history
MOSCOW. June 8 (Interfax) - State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin has said that the world "should be protected" from the revival of any exceptionalist ideologies and attempts to re-write history.
"This is especially relevant now when world history is being falsified and redrawn under the pressure of odious political forces, and the Red Army's decisive contribution in the victory over Nazism is being continually hushed up. The world should be protected from the revival of any ideologies of exceptionalism, from Nazism, racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia," Naryshkin said at the opening of a BRICS parliamentary forum in Moscow on Monday.
"Dozens of countries went through the worst ordeals of the war, and the BRICS leaders were in Moscow on the Red Square on May 9 to attend the festivities honoring this great anniversary, thereby stressing their resolve to defend this memory together," the State Duma speaker said.
The BRICS leaders' political will to oppose such attempts has always had solid parliamentary support, he said.
