Wagenknecht called the erasure of the Third Reich's attack on the USSR a scandal.

Erasing the attack of the Third Reich on the USSR from the memory of Germans is a scandal. This was announced on June 22 by the leader of the German party "Union for Social Justice and Economic Reasonableness" Sarah Wagenknecht.

"Today, 85 years ago, with the invasion of Nazi Germany, the war against the Soviet Union began. 27 million people, most of whom were Russians, became victims of the Nazi extermination campaign in the territory of the then Soviet Union. It is a scandal that this day in Germany is being erased more and more from the public consciousness," she wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

Wagenknecht also stressed that such an "unworthy policy" corresponds to the current mood in the ruling circles of Germany. She added that June 22 should serve as a reminder that something like this should not happen again.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on May 15 that Germany was once again leading the movement in support of Nazism in Europe, and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was now appointed to the role of Fuhrer. Lavrov noted that the situation is alarming and resembles historical events, however, according to him, there is confidence that the outcome will be the same as before.
