“The more I work on the project “Without a Statute of Limitations,” the clearer it becomes that establishing an official date in memory of the victims of the genocide of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War is simply necessary.
There have already been 18 trials that have legally recognized the crimes of the Nazis and their accomplices against civilians as genocide.
In the Leningrad region and St. Petersburg alone, within the old borders, more than 2.5 million people were affected.
New horrifying materials that become known during the investigation only strengthen our determination,” the RT interlocutor emphasized.
According to her, work is now underway on a bill that will formalize this day of remembrance.
“Together with the National Center for Historical Memory under the President of Russia, we are trying to choose a suitable memorable date.
Among the possible dates is February 8.
On this day in 1946, the opening speech of the chief prosecutor from the USSR at the Nuremberg trials, Roman Rudenko, was made.
During his speech, he spoke in detail about the ideological preparation for waging an aggressive war in Germany.
He pointed out the war crimes of the Nazis, the death of civilians, the detention of Soviet prisoners of war, and touched upon the forced abduction of people and their use in slave labor,” the deputy concluded.
Earlier, State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov proposed establishing in Russia a Day of Participants in the Special Military Operation in Ukraine.
