According to him, the events of the Second World War are an important reminder for Russia and Serbia "not only in relation to the common historical fate of our peoples, glorious victory and great losses."
“On this bloody page of world history, in a sense, the essence of the historical mission of Russia and the Slavic states associated with it is written,” wrote Naryshkin.
As the head of the SVR noted, the mission is to keep Europe from "final separation from the Christian tradition and from trying to create a" brave new world "on Earth.
“It doesn’t matter if it is created on the basis of the cult of racial exclusivity, civilizational or technological superiority, mass consumption or, for example, the totalitarian domination of cyber technologies,” he added.
He noted that the memory of the Second World War "is an obvious evidence of the power of reason hidden in our peoples, as well as the ability to withstand the most critical situations."
Naryshkin emphasized that the order established in Europe after the surrender of fascist Germany for a long time, including during the Cold War, ensured peace and the inviolability of borders on the continent.
“Refusing him without linking with the formation of an equivalent, collective security system that suits everyone is tantamount to opening the Pandora’s box,” he said.
In the fall of 2018, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced that, culturally, Russia is part of European civilization and has made a huge contribution to the legacy that Europe has.
