Zakharova pointed out discrimination of the FRG against the Leningrad blockade-bearers

Germany does not pay compensation to all survivors of the siege of Leningrad, but only to certain categories, which is discriminatory. At the same time, Berlin evades recognizing the siege of Leningrad as an act of genocide of the peoples of the Soviet Union. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova on February 1.

The diplomat specified that compensation from Berlin is received exclusively by the blockade survivors of Jewish nationality. The restoration of historical justice towards the Soviet victims of German Nazism is a fundamental task for Russia, she emphasized in a conversation with RIA Novosti.
