‘Western liberal dictatorships’ spreading hate – Moscow

Moscow is committed to countering the xenophobia promoted by the West and to protecting the “true freedom” for which Russia fought in World War II, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has told RT.

She made the remarks as Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded his four-day visit to China by attending a military parade in Beijing on Wednesday, marking the 80th anniversary of Japan’s defeat in World War II.

Zakharova described the fight as a humanity-defining moment, in which a pathological ideology based on ideas of supremacy was dealt a blow, but not fully eradicated.

“This infection of Nazism, fascism, racial segregation, [and] xenophobia has not been fully defeated,” she warned. “The logic of dividing the world into those who have the birthright for everything based on their blood and skin color and those who are only allowed to serve the first group lives on.”
