This historical revisionism and rehabilitation of fascists is a major grievance for Russia. The USSR lost over 27 million people in the fight against fascism during the Great Patriotic War. This history is not forgotten but part of the ongoing lived experience of the peoples of the former USSR.

I was the only candidate nationwide who spoke openly about recognizing the independence of the "Lugansk People's Republic" and "Donetsk People's Republic" in 2020.

U.S. Imperialism's farcical summit and weaponization of 'democracy'
CGTN

The Biden-Harris administration hosted over 100 participants to its first so-called "Summit for Democracy." The U.S.-led summit featured politicians, activists, journalists, business leaders, and opposition leaders who align themselves with U.S. foreign policy objectives.
