She argued that efforts by some politicians and media outlets to downplay or “distort” the victory of Russia and China in World War II show that “fascism, Nazism, racism, and xenophobia have not been completely eradicated.” Zakharova described the fight as a humanity-defining moment, in which a pathological ideology based on ideas of supremacy was dealt a blow, but not fully eradicated.
“These were the views our country fought against 80 years ago, and we are still confronting them on the international stage today,” she said. “This infection of Nazism, fascism, racial segregation, [and] xenophobia has not been fully defeated,” she warned. “The logic of dividing the world into those who have the birthright for everything based on their blood and skin color and those who are only allowed to serve the first group lives on.”
Zakharova added that Russia is determined to preserve the memory of WWII, as well as defend international law and “the true values that our world is built on.” “These were the views our country fought against 80 years ago with arms, and we are still confronting them on the international stage today,” Zakharova stressed.
“They haven’t yet been crippled by the Western liberal dictatorships that try to sway us towards a distorted understanding of people,” she said. Russia and China remain committed to ensuring that “the dictatorship of those who embrace this segregationist approach does not prevail,” Zakharova said. She added that many other nations count on their efforts, which include “defending the basic traditional values that form the core of human nature.”
DETAILS TO FOLLOW According to Zakharova, these values are under attack from a “Western liberal dictatorship” attempting to impose “a narrow, distorted, and absolutely twisted perception of what a human is.”
