Latvia approved a law equalizing veterans of the USSR and fascist Germany

Latvian President Raymond Vejonis approved a law on the status of a participant in the Second World War, which equalizes veterans who fought on the side of the USSR and Nazi Germany, the official publication Latvijas vestnesis reports.

In December 2017, the Latvian Diet finally adopted the law on granting the status of a participant in the Second World War to citizens of the country who fought in regular military units against both Nazi Germany and the USSR. The law does not apply to non-citizens.

The participants of the Second World War are the citizens of Latvia, who were such as 17 on June 1940, and permanent residents of the republic, who legally entered the country before that date.

Participants in the Second World War will not be recognized by employees of the National Socialist Party of Germany and its paramilitary structures, secret police and security services of this regime. This status will also not be assigned to employees of the KGB of the USSR or the Latvian SSR, with the exception of employees of financial and administrative departments. The status of a participant in the Second World War will not be assigned to persons convicted of crimes against humanity and other crimes.

The law states that Latvia "is not legally responsible for the acts of the occupation authorities during its occupation and that, as an occupied state, it did not participate in hostilities during the Second World War".

The participants of the Second World War are scheduled to issue a certificate of the established sample and a commemorative breastplate. .

Every year on March 16 in Riga, a procession of former members of the Latvian SS Legion and their supporters takes place. The event, which causes discontent and indignation of anti-fascist organizations around the world, usually attended by several hundred people, reports RIA News.

And what else to expect from the fascist state ..

[Going]

We have nothing, but they will probably wait for the next “kick”, then let them not whine that all the transit of Russian goods has gone from them.

As far as I am aware, the Latvian road has already agreed with Russian Railways .. They are constantly in contact. Money does not smell.

that Latvia "does not bear legal responsibility for the acts of the occupying authorities during its occupation and that, as an occupied state, it did not participate in hostilities during the Second World War."

Sprat-eaters tell this fable to Belarusians and residents of the Pskov, Novgorod and Leningrad regions how “neutral Latvians” destroyed villages along with residents.

[Anyone]

Not so the question is posed by you. One must ask: "And what kind of reaction should we expect from the Russian Foreign Ministry?" The answer is no. And it should be - tough, including embargoes, sanctions, a ban for shipowners from Russia to use ports, terminals, include in the stop list all tourists who travel to Lithuania and so on. Like the USA and Cuba ... But our gut is weak. Not Latvians / Lithuanians / etc. Estonians are to blame for the rehabilitation of fascism, and we. The fact that the hands are not beaten off by the bastards. Now it's late already.

[mat-vey]

Which one are you ... and what other bank will suffer from this?

[Anyone]

I doubt that the authorities take care of the banks ... A quarter of a million of our tourists visiting Latvia annually are not banks. They can always be pressed in if our government, as you suggested, has a thin gut to force the business to leave Latvia. Here is the problem?

[mat-vey]

And here Latvia ... the Limitroph has owners ...

[Anyone]

The hosts determine the general policy, and what specific Latvia does in the framework of this policy is given to Latvia. Do not exaggerate the ubiquity of the State Department ™.

I can’t say anything about fascists in Latvia, but the Russian Foreign Ministry took up the hero of the Armenian national liberation movement Garegin Nzhdeh, loudly declaring that he was a fascist. If the Russian Foreign Ministry has fascists all like GREAT GAREGIN NZHDE, then I’m on the side SUCH FASCISTS AND AGAINST THE RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY, which is trying to denigrate the national hero of the Armenian people and begins to seem to me, not only the Armenian people !! So, dear forum users from Russia, the persistent attempts of your Foreign Ministry to make the great Armenian patriot unattractive make me angry and reasonable doubts about the motives of your Foreign Ministry.

[pvv113]

And what is wrong? Garegin Nzhdeh during the war years worked closely with the Nazis. This is written on Wikipedia, which does not shine with love for the Union or for Russia. But Baghramyan beat the Nazis, and this is really a hero!

Stalin also collaborated with the Nazis and he is still the idol of millions of Russians. And I don’t give a damn what is written on Wikipedia. Garegin Nzhdeh is a hero of the national liberation movement of the Armenian people and not your Foreign Ministry can dirty the glorious name HERO of the Armenian people with its dirty paws.

According to CIA documents declassified in accordance with the law on the disclosure of Nazi war crimes, on September 1, 1945, in the Armenian weekly newspaper Armenian Mirror-Spectator [en] a translation of the original German document was published, from which it followed that the Armenian National Council, which included Dashnak leaders - Chairman Artashes Abeghyan, Deputy Abram Fulkhandanyan, Harutyun Baghdasaryan, David Davidkhanyan, Garegin Nzhdeh, Vagan Papazyan, Dro Kanayan and Dertovmasyan, - once addressed the Nazi Minister of the Eastern Occupied Territories Alfred Rosenberg with a proposal to establish a colony of Armenia on the territory of Armenia

Well, Garegin Nzhdeh with this step softened the conditions of the occupation of Germany by the Armenian SSR

[pvv113]

And during the offensive of the Soviet Army, he immediately offered his cooperation in a letter to the commander-in-chief of the Soviet troops in Bulgaria, General Tolbukhin

You have misconceptions about both me and Garegin Nzhdeh - I, like this great man, are a nationalist, not a fascist or a Nazi. However, if it’s your business, call me what you like, from your name-calling the greatness of Garegin Nzhdeh will fade.
Regarding Nzhdeh’s cooperation with the German National Socialists, this great Armenian would agree to cooperate with the devil himself in the name of the interests of the Armenian people. Or would you like the Turks to be taken under the knife in the First World War, so the Germans in the Second World War The ideologists of German National Socialism recognized the Aryan race as Armenians and didn’t let Armenians into the gas chambers like Jews and Gypsies. And this is the merit of Garegin Nzhdeh. Your Russian Foreign Ministry does not protest against the glorification of the Nazis in Latvia, but it does its best to erase a monument to Garegin Nzhdeh in Yerevan and the memory of this man in general. It is concluded that the Russian Foreign Ministry has calculated everything - now Armenia is in a difficult economic and political situation, completely dependent on Russia and cannot adequately respond to the insinuations of Russian officials.

[210ox]

It turns out that Stalin was a collaborator-traitor? Ramzik, you are a liar. It’s one thing before the war to maintain relations, another during the war to support the Nazis .. How is your “hero.” I won’t even turn to you again .. Liar!

"If the Russian Foreign Ministry has fascists like the GREAT GAREGIN NZHDE"

It is an average fascist.
What do not you like?
Or do you think that this nits .. (sorry, your hero) did not collaborate with the Nazis, did not organize newspapers, detachments, did not recruit prisoners of war for sabotage in favor of the Nazis?

[Deck]

Employees of the National Socialist Party of Germany and its paramilitary structures, secret police and security services of this regime will not be recognized as participants in the Second World War.

You can explain where is the rehabilitation of fascism. All in accordance with the verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal. Or do you not like him too?

"... including the embargo ..."
They have been writing like this in their local newspaper for a week - "we have bent Russia!"
They are in joy, after they were allowed to import sprats. And you are an embargo.

[Lenivets2]

"They are in joy, after they were allowed to import sprats."

And who and when forbade them to import sprats?
On the shelves they were always regardless of the "orders" of the government.
ps In any case, I saw them in 14 and 15 and 16 and 17 years.

But here’s what we are expecting from such bureaucrats of MINOBRA - “It’s incorrect to speak of the Wehrmacht soldiers that they are“ innocent victims ”, it was better to define them as senseless victims of wars,” concludes Ermakova. In addition, she calls “absolutely commendable "The interaction of the youth of Russia and Germany, united by the idea of" confronting militarism and war. "That's how the Ministry of Education answered - abstractly, neutrally, humanistly, at first glance. They say that war is evil, peace is good, any militarism is bad.

Today, on January 4, the Latvian government will consider the issue of raising benefits for the participants of the national resistance movement by 240 euros this year. Participants in the national resistance movement are people who participated in underground and armed struggle from June 17, 1940 to December 31, 1960. with the occupying authorities and military units, provided the fighters with material and other support.

And soon, Soviet veterans will be prosecuted as war criminals. Everything goes to this, the Overton window in action.

"82-year-old veteran of World War II Nikolai Larionov was convicted in Latvia. He was sentenced to 5 years of strict regime. The prosecutor's office accuses him of genocide and insists that it is Larionov who is behind the deportation of 500 people from Latvia to Siberia in 1949. The defense claims that the former officer was only following the order, the lawyers intend to appeal the verdict.

This is the tenth criminal case involving veterans of the Great Patriotic War. In particular, in the early 90s, the former KGB minister of Latvia, who soon died in prison, was sentenced to life imprisonment. Two years ago, partisan Vasily Kononov was tried, who was released in the courtroom. Subsequently, he was granted Russian citizenship. "
