Ossetian fighters, whose great-grandfathers defeated fascism in 1945, are today opposing Nazism in Ukraine, President of South Ossetia Alan Gagloev said during the military parade in Tskhinval on May 9 in honor of Victory Day.
"Hitler's Germany was defeated in 1945, but in our time in a number of post-Soviet states, the rehabilitation of Fascist accomplices, large-scale actions of followers of Nazism, propaganda of Nazi symbols and ideology, desecration and demolition of monuments to Soviet soldiers-liberators has become commonplace," the President said.
According to him, “the connivance of Nazi fans, attempts to hush up and deny its crimes, led to the seizure of power by the Nazis led by Gamsakhurdia in Georgia, in the 90s, and later in Ukraine, by the ideological heirs of Bandera, who launched terror and war against all those who dared to stand in their way.
“Today, on the land of Donbass and Zaporozhye, the battle against the Nazi plague is again going on. And again, on the side of the Nazis, we see the same countries that collaborated with Hitler or were direct allies of Nazi Germany. They are shamelessly supporting the Nazi regime in Ukraine, supplying it with intelligence information, weapons, training militants, directing military operations and sabotage and terrorist activities, finance foreign mercenaries,” the president said.
The head of state added that at the same time, “the memory of our military community is also alive, the feeling of unity of those whose great-grandfathers defeated fascism and left their names on the walls of the Berlin Reichstag.”
“In response to the expanded aggression, volunteers of international detachments stood up next to the forces fighting against the Nazis in the Donetsk and Lugansk republics, among them are the Ossetian fighters,” the President has noted, adding that they are heroically fighting alongside Russian brothers.
