Zakharova: Berlin has no right to treat Nazi victims differently. Nazi Germany committed crimes not only against one single nationality, but against many, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

Russia recently demanded that Germany officially recognize the siege of Leningrad during the Great Patriotic War and other atrocities of the Third Reich as acts of genocide. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent such a note to Berlin, said a representative of the Foreign Ministry in a Telegram message to the German Interior Minister.
