OREANDA-NEWS. The United States should support Russia's efforts at the UN to combat the glorification of Nazism. This information was published by the American media, after an interview with a Russian expert, the Diplomat recalled that Russia annually presents UN resolutions against the glorification of Nazism, but the United States and Ukraine continue to vote against them.

"Every year, Russia submits a UN resolution to combat the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the spread of modern forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. There are only two countries in the entire international community that still vote against - USA and Ukraine. Canada has found the strength to reconsider its position, now it's Washington’s turn", the article says.

“I am very disappointed that the neo-Nazi organizations hiding behind the first amendment to the US Constitution are free to exploit and erect monuments to the“ heroes ”of ethnic cleansing, to Nazi employees involved in the Holocaust”, the Russian ambassador added. He noted that "a common story should play a unifying role." “We should never forget that our peoples fought together during the Second World War, the memory of the victims of Nazism should always remain in the hearts and minds of future generations”, wrote Antonov.

"In the XXI century there is no place for such a terrible phenomenon, such events are unacceptable, as the marches of the Nazis and their supporters on the streets of European cities", - said in a publication. As noted by Antonov, in Ukraine, in the Baltic States and in Poland, it is important to stop the demolition of monuments to soldiers who fought against fascism. “The policy of tolerance towards neo-Nazis is unacceptable”, the diplomat stressed.
