Arya News - The Russian parliament`s lower house`s commission for investigation of foreign interference has evidence suggesting that on the eve of Victory Day a massive anti-Russian campaign was launched by NATO countries, including through the use of foreign agents, commission head Vasily Piskarev said on Sunday.
"The State Duma Commission for the Investigation of Interference by Foreign States in Russia"s Internal Affairs has found that on the eve of Victory Day NATO countries launched a massive anti-Russian campaign, using foreign agents among others. There is also evidence of the desecration of war graves and memorials on the territory of 15 EU countries, a ban on Soviet war songs and marches, the wearing of Soviet military uniforms and paraphernalia, as well as on the display of the Victory Banner and other USSR flags and banners," Piskarev said. Despite the threats, Russia has celebrated the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory in a broad and dignified manner, Piskarev added. The commission records that there are always the same Western countries which remain at the "forefront" of Russophobia - the UK, Germany, France and the Baltic states - finance and use foreign agents, Piskarev said, adding that the documented anti-Russian acts will be taken into account for further adjustments to the legislation regulating the activities of persons under foreign influence.
