"Today, our fraternal Russia, which is conducting the special military operation in Ukraine, is in the forefront of the fight against neo-Nazism. Belarus is protecting it from NATO's backstabbing. This course is essential for us today," the minister said at the International Anti-Fascist Congress in Minsk.
Belarus has done a lot to oppose the rehabilitation of Nazism and the spread of neo-fascism and to preserve the historical memory of the heroic deeds of the Soviet people in the Second World War, Khrenin said. The position of preservation of historical memory and opposition to fascism is formalized in the key legal acts of Belarus, he added.
