Russia will continue to resist attempts to distort the legacy of World War II, the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has said
Moscow is committed to countering the xenophobia promoted by the West, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has told RT.
She made the remarks as Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded his four-day visit to China by attending a military parade in Beijing on Wednesday, marking the 80th anniversary of Japan's defeat in World War II.
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."
"These were the views our country fought against 80 years ago, and we are still confronting them on the international stage today," she said.
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."
"They haven't yet been crippled by the Western liberal dictatorships that try to sway us towards a distorted understanding of people," she said.
