In a statement published on the website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ministry on Wednesday evening said: “It’s hard to be suspected of ignorance senior official such as Parliament Speaker. It is well known that Auschwitz was liberated by the Red Army, composed of all the nationalities fought heroically. Incidentally, 1943 years until November 1st Ukrainian Front was called Yaroslavl, and earlier Bryansk Front. The thing, apparently, in something else.

- This is serious, but we’re talking about the history and historical truth. The Red Army liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp and we all know it. But the soldiers of the Red Army had their nationality. Different nationalities. There were Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhs, representatives of Central Asian nations – Parliament Speaker told reporters in parliament when asked about Russia’s reaction to his words.
