The head of state spoke of such evils as racism, neo-Nazism, Russophobia, and other destructive ideologies during his address to participants of the Third International Anti-Fascist Congress held at the Patriot Expo exhibition center outside Moscow.

“Today, when we face grave challenges, when the results of the most brutal war of the 20th century are being revised and falsified in favor of political interests, when the role of the Soviet Union in achieving victory is being downplayed, it is important to be united in defending the truth about the past war,” Putin emphasized.

According to the president, it is necessary to “resist the spread of any form of racism, neo-Nazism, Russophobia, and antisemitism.”
