In Crimea, the occupiers declare anti-Russian Nazism in Western Europe and Ukraine

In Crimea, at a so-called conference, the racists discussed the protection of the rights of the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine and other European countries. They propose to create a UN resolution and prepare legal mechanisms to counteract "discrimination" against Russians.

This was reported by Holos Kryma.

Participants of the so-called "XVI Yalta International Conference" of the Russian magazine "International Life", held in occupied Yalta, prepared proposals for the development of a resolution for the UN General Assembly with the assistance of the Russian Foreign Ministry on the "inadmissibility of discrimination against the Russian and Russian-speaking population in historical places of residence", in particular in Ukraine, Latvia and Estonia.

According to media reports, the participants, who position themselves as academics, political scientists and diplomats, plan to prepare legal recommendations to respond to "discrimination" against Russians and Russian speakers in Europe, to establish "responsibility of the leaders of states that encourage anti-Russian Nazism" as well as political and legal measures to counter Nazism and "violations of the rights of the Russian population."

The concept of "anti-Russian Nazism" was first put forward by the so-called Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Crimea, Permanent Representative of the Republic to the President of the Russian Federation, Georgy Muradov. At the end of 2024, he announced plans to draft a resolution on "protecting the basic rights of the Russian and Russian-speaking population" with a view to submitting it to the UN General Assembly, focusing on Latvia, Estonia, Poland and the "remnants of Ukraine." Muradov argues that Ukraine and Western countries "treat Russians like classic Nazis."

One of the conference participants said that "massive violations of the rights of the Russian population will pose a threat to the international security of Russia," particularly in the Baltic states.

Another so-called expert supported the term "anti-Russian Nazism," arguing that it more accurately describes political processes in Ukraine after 2014 than Russophobia or "Ukrainian nationalism." According to him, Ukrainian "versions of Nazism," including the ideas of the Azov Regiment, are a continuation of older German Nazism.

In the occupied Crimea, Russians also use the Artek children's camp for propaganda. Under the guidance of senior officials of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the children signed an appeal to the UN calling for "an end to armed conflicts" and "recognition of shared responsibility for the future of the planet." The event was held in the style of Soviet propaganda.
