Resolution of the International Conference “Legacy of World War II and the Holocaust” Berlin, 15-17 December, 2009
In recent years the memory of World War II has underwent a distortion in speculative political purposes. The attempts to equate the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, Holocaust denial, glorification of Nazi participation in genocide, neglect of the Red Army victories, unfounded accusations of Soviet soldiers and partisans in mythical crime – cannot fail to cause serious concern.

Resolution of the International Conference “Legacy of World War II and the Holocaust” “On the Situation in Ukraine”
We, the participants of the conference "Legacy of World War II and the Holocaust," held in Berlin on 15-17 December 2009, are extremely concerned about surge of anti-Semitism in Ukraine, which is tied to the presidential elections. All these actions inevitably lead to an increase of anti-Semitic tendencies in Ukrainian society and create conditions for the triumph of the darkest forces – those professing an ideology of xenophobia and racial hatred.

Address to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly by the International conference “Legacy of World War II and the Holocaust”
We hold that is unacceptable that paragraph 3 of Resolution equalizes the Nazi and Stalinist regimes. While paying tribute to the victims of illegal political repression of the Stalinist regime, we nevertheless believe it necessary to draw the attention of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly to the fact that the crimes of the Nazi regime were unique in their scope and ideological motivation.
