Western countries saved Nazism, which the Soviet people fought against; now Russia is finishing what the USSR started, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with TASS Director General Andrey Kondrashov. But I want to say once again: we are completing the work of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who destroyed Nazism. However, our former allies saved Nazism," the top diplomat noted. "We know the fate of the Wehrmacht generals who found a home and shelter in the West. Therefore, if we want to preserve our Russian civilization, we have no other option," Lavrov emphasized.
