MOSCOW, October 22. /TASS/. Russia will continue to resist attempts at revival of Nazism and falsification of World War II history, Foreign Minister Sergrey Lavrov said at a meeting with members of the Youth Civic Chamber on Wednesday.

“Currently we pay special attention to preparations for the jubilee of victory in the Great Patriotic War. May 9, 2015 will mark its 70th anniversary. In this context we shall raise our voice against any attempts to connive with or even support the revival of neo-Nazi views, cater to those who wish to get back to the misanthropic philosophy and to consign to oblivion the horrible victims of Hitlerism,” Lavrov said.

“Falsification of history and rewriting of World War II results are part of the attempts to undermine the European values proclaimed at pan-European forums, including the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe,” Lavrov said.

“I believe it is important for the Youth Civic Chamber to pay attention to these issues within the framework of volunteer movements, creation of network societies, and promotion of youth tourism and student exchanges. Establishing ties with your counterparts in other countries is a major pre-requisite future world will be a far safer place than it is today.
