"In July this year, in Tallinn the so-called Estonia Liberators Union organized a gathering of former fascism supporters, who had fought for Hitlerite Germany in the 20th Estonian SS division during World War II", reads the statement.
"Committed earlier was another act of vandalism - desecration of the Fraternal Cemetery of the Soviet soldiers killed in WWII", the document points out.
The deputies believe that these acts were committed "with obvious connivance of these republics' authorities, whereas in Estonia the Nazi procession was attended by vice-mayor of Tallinn, former president of the Estonian republic and a group of the Estonian parliament's deputies".
In the deputies' opinion, the voiced slogans "for social and state recognition" of former fascism supporters are, in fact, instigation to review the Nuremberg Tribunal, which determined all SS detachments' soldiers as war criminals.
"Any other judgement as to the acts committed by them during World War II will be an insult to the memory of dozens of millions victims of Nazism from the European countries including the Baltic states", reads the document.
The State Duma emphasizes that the incidents in Estonia and Latvia deserve critical assessment by parliaments of these countries and international organizations.
