Over the past eight years, Russia has repeatedly tried to blame the Ukrainian authorities for the deaths and injuries of thousands of civilians, the “oppression” of Russian-speaking groups, and called it the term “genocide” (no international organization has confirmed these manipulations).

On Russian television, there are regular calls for the destruction of the Ukrainian nation as such, propaganda TV channels consistently promote the image of the enemy, dehumanize Ukrainians in the eyes of their population. And thus they allow and justify Russia’s armed aggression, war crimes, and even genocide, writes the former Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Gunduz Mammadov in the article “Prohibited method: how Russia manipulates the concept of genocide”.

In fact, now the officially declared reason and at the same time the goal of aggression by Russia is the so-called “denazification of Ukraine”. But the official position of Russia on the issue of interpreting the genocide not only justifies the attack on Ukraine, but also offends the memory of the nations that really suffered from it..

Leading historians and researchers of the Holocaust have already condemned the rhetoric of the Russian authorities, calling such an interpretation of the genocide a cynical exploitation of the term, insulting the memory of the victims of Nazism.
