In many countries, they purposefully encourage Nazism and Russophobia, and try to distort the role of the USSR in Victory. This was announced on April 7 by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the opening of the international forum "Memory of the Winners. 80 years of Victory in the Great Patriotic War".

"Hundreds of thousands of people around the world, at the call of their hearts, take part in large—scale processions of the Immortal Regiment, in the implementation of other patriotic, creative, and informational projects," he is quoted as saying on the Kremlin's website.
