Moskalkova called the distortion of the history of World War II a threat to human rights

“Attempts to distort the historical truth (of World War II. - RT ) pose a threat to peace and human rights,” she said, opening a meeting of the Eurasian Ombudsman Alliance, which is taking place in a videoconference mode.

Moskalkova pointed out the inadmissibility of attempts to present war criminals convicted by the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals as “victims.”

“The justification and heroization of cruelty and inhumanity will inevitably revive the ideology of fascism,” the Russian Ombudsman emphasized.

The Eurasian Alliance of Ombudsmen, which includes representatives of Russia, Armenia, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Serbia and Tajikistan, has existed since 2017.
