Russia has once again pointed to the risk of sprawling neo-Nazism in Europe, in the first place, in the Baltic countries and Ukraine

MOSCOW, October 15. /TASS/. Russia has once again pointed to the risk of sprawling neo-Nazism in Europe, in the first place, in the Baltic countries and Ukraine. The more active the authorities in the European countries are in their attempts to rewrite history, the higher the level of xenophobia, experts warn.

“Regrettably, the vaccine against the virus of Nazism produced at the Nuremberg tribunal is losing its original strength in some European countries,” Russian President Vladimir Putin has told the Serbian daily Politika in an interview.

He believes this can well be seen in the “outright manifestations of neo-Nazism, which have become commonplace in Latvia and other Baltic countries.” The Russian leader is particularly worried over the situation in Ukraine “where last February saw an unconstitutional government coup, with nationalists and other radical groups being its main driving force.”
