The call of former Speaker of the House of Parliament and Czech Senator Miroslava Nemcova to repeat the siege of Leningrad does not fit in the head. This statement was made on February 1 by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.

On January 30, Nemtsova wrote in her social networks that Russia should not celebrate the anniversary of the lifting of the siege of Leningrad, but should experience something similar again. The senator said that such an effect could allegedly be achieved by tightening Western sanctions.

"Such statements should not be forgotten," Medvedev wrote in his Telegram channel.

According to him, it does not fit in his mind that a high-ranking European official wished "that once again at least a million of our citizens would die."

The Investigative Committee (IC) of the Russian Federation said that this statement will be given a proper legal assessment.

Before that, on November 14, 2024, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova stressed that the German authorities stubbornly refuse to recognize the genocide of the USSR peoples the siege of Leningrad and other terrible crimes of Hitler's followers on the territory of the Soviet Union. In addition, the FRG transfers social benefits to former military men from the SS. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry recalled that Germany was going to renovate the hospital for war veterans in St. Petersburg. Berlin wanted to make a voluntary humanitarian gesture in this way, but this intention was never fulfilled.

The blockade of Leningrad began on September 8, 1941. It lasted 872 days and claimed the lives of more than 1 million people. It was possible to break through the Nazi ring that had tightened around the city on the sixth attempt thanks to the "Spark" operation. The only way to deliver food to the besieged city was the Road of Life, laid on the ice of Ladoga. On January 27, 1944 the blockade was completely lifted.
