President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed Russia’s commitment to tolerance and open societies during a meeting in Moscow with Israeli President Shimon Peres.
Though Russia and Israel disagree on several issues, the two nations share an avowed dedication to battling extremism – their mutual histories overlap during one of the bloodiest chapters of human history.
Putin told Peres that while Russia is not totally free from anti-Semitic extremism, the country will never forget the darkest moment in the history of the Jewish people.
“We will not forget the losses that the Jewish people suffered in fighting Nazism, nor will we ever forget the Holocaust,” Putin said.
An estimated 27 million Russian soldiers and civilians died in World War II, and six million Jews were killed in Nazi concentration camps.
Peres pointed to the lesson of World War II, when the United States and the Soviet Union put aside ideological differences and engaged to defeat Nazi Germany.
"It would have been impossible to defeat Nazism without interaction between the United States and the Soviet Union,” Peres said. “If they saved [the world] from Hitler then, now these two countries should join forces to save nations from a new Hitler.”
The Israeli President also lauded Russia as the place where “the State of Israel was born.” The majority of the founders of modern Israel came from Russia, Peres said, adding that the population of Israel includes some 1.2 million immigrants from former Soviet nations.
"Thank you to the Russian people from the Jewish people, thank you for something that has been done for centuries," he said.
Peres attended the opening of Moscow’s Jewish Museum of Tolerance, the largest of its kind in Europe. The Russian president said the building represented Russia’s dedication to “eliminating xenophobia and nationalism.”
Putin closed his speech by saluting the recent creation in Israel of a monument honoring Red Army soldiers.
“Any decent and honest person must be thankful to Russia and honor the Red Army, which demonstrated unheard-of courage in what was an extremely hard period,” the Israeli President said.

Putin just wants everyone to forget about how it was Uncle Joe that was the baddest motherfucking killing machine of his own people in WWII and beyond.

The gulags make the Holahoax look like a picnic...okay a pretty shitty picnic.

[iOWNme]

I agree with Uncle Salty....

The Soviet Communist system of internment camps, gulags, starvation, murder and DEATH was at least 6 million times worse than the 'holohoax'. LOL

Putin is formwe KGB! He has much innocent blood on his hands. Give me a fucking break. This guy is a devout Communist.......And i didnt fall for Perestroika Deception.

maybe that's the deal Putey has cut - don't talk about our real mass murder, run by Jews, and we won't talk about your fake mass murder, the Holohoax, which is used to justify more mass murder, of the Palestinians, and basically all of Israel's neighbors.

I've learned never to take anything I see out of Russia on face value alone.

By making it illegal to deny, they may be giving the O.K. for history to repeat itself.

In fact, I think they're trying to make history repeat itself.

[Ponce]

Remember that made two of the senators resign because they hid the fact that they had dual nationalities with one of them being Jewish .

I am going to have a ball when they try to make me take down my "NO USRael" sign which has been up now for the past eleven years......how can that be anti Semite?

santa, bad title. Some jew introduced into a lower house a proposition to criminalize public holocost denial.

That jew also was immediately kicked out of his senator seat because russian laws do not allow government officials to hold leading posts in international organizations, and that traitor-jew
"who recently submitted his resignation after being elected president of international rights group 'World without Nazism,' "
immediately got what he deserved.

Naturally, that proposal isn't going anywhere.

You wish US senate was half that quick with traitors.

You wish US senate was half that quick with traitors.I just copied the title, but I guess you're correct that the proposition doesn't reflect on Russia unless or until the legislation is enacted.
I was under the impression that he submitted his resignation as president of an international rights group in order to keep his senate seat, but taking a closer look at the wording,
you may be correct there as well. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I sure hope the proposition dies.
