This glorification of fascism has nothing to do with opposing Stalin's crimes. The Soviet people united and defeated the Nazis DESPITE STALIN, as the Nazis invaded their country, causing the Soviet people to call WW2 the Great Patriotic War. They lost some 20 million Soviet citizens. TThe heroism of the Red Army and the Soviet people in saving more Soviet Jews than expected, defeating the Nazis in the turning point of the war, the Battle of Stalingrad (before American Lend-Lease aid arrived) and being the first to enter Berlin, beating the American "second front" by 110 miles in the race to Berlin, with a woman Red Army major planting the Red Flag in Berlin, is applauded by all anti-fascists around the world, including in the USA. We are horrified at the fascist US government.Here is more from the 11/19/08 article, "UN adopts Russian proposed anti-Nazi resolution" at"The draft resolution on "combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance," is aimed at tackling the practice in the former Soviet republics of Latvia and Estonia of honoring SS veterans who fought for Nazi Germany during WWII.""Nazi monuments are unveiled in a ceremonial atmosphere and the dates of liberation from the Nazis are proclaimed as days of mourning," Russia's UN representative, Grigory Lykyantsev, told the UN, adding that "this attitude towards anti-fascist veterans plays into the hands of those who call for 'a pure race.'""Parades in honor of Waffen-SS veterans, involving veterans from the Latvian Legion and the 20th Estonian SS Division and their supporters, are held annually in Latvia and Estonia. Russia has repeatedly criticized the Baltic States for allowing these parades to take place.""The dismantling in Tallinn of the Soviet war memorial, the Bronze Soldier, just before the May 9, 2007 Victory Day celebrations in Russia led to street protests in which over 1,000 people were arrested and one Russian national was killed.
