[Regnum] Germany's appeal to the Russian Embassy in Berlin with a request to refrain from participating in commemorative events on the occasion of the anniversary of the liberation of German concentration camps is disappointing, the Russian diplomatic mission said on April 19.

“This position causes deep regret and disappointment. Dictated by considerations of the current political situation, it completely ignores the historical context... does not correspond to the spirit of the successful long-term cooperation of our countries in the military memorial sphere,” says a commentary published on the official website of the embassy.
“How dare you resent our noble rescue of Germany from the Nazis as a partially successful attempt to conquer you for the glories of Soviet Communism!”
The diplomatic mission emphasized that Berlin’s actions run counter to German cultural memory and contribute to the erosion of the process of post-war reconciliation between peoples.
