Since 1962, in accordance with a UN resolution, the world has celebrated International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Fascism.
It is amazing, but 80 years after the defeat of the coalition of countries that made this inhuman ideology the basis of state policy, neo-fascism continues to exist. Humanity knows very well what this can lead to, the atrocities of the Hitler regime are recorded in documents and photographs, eyewitnesses of that era are still alive. Even despite this and the unequivocal condemnation of the world community, there are still political forces and ruling regimes that consider fascist methods of regulating public life acceptable. But the Nazis of the Third Reich did not simply unleash a war against other states, they systematically and cold-bloodedly sought to destroy the "lower" races and nationalities, without a twinge of conscience "cleansed" their own people of people with psychological illnesses or the disabled, did not spare children. Concentration camps became a terrible ulcer on the face of civilization, where the Nazis mass-exterminated those they did not like: they gassed, burned alive, starved, and conducted medical experiments.
The Soviet Union alone lost 26.6 million of its citizens during the Great Patriotic War. About half of them – 13.7 million people – were civilians and died without weapons in their hands. Of these, 7.4 million were deliberately exterminated, 2.2 million died at work in Germany, and 4.1 million died of exhaustion during the occupation. The Nazi troops, their allies and accomplices destroyed 1,710 cities and more than 70 thousand villages in our country. Statistics, behind each unit of which there is real human grief, physical and mental trauma that remained with those who survived the Nazi invasion until the end of their days. There are fewer and fewer contemporaries of those years. Now we must bear the heavy burden of memory of the victims of fascism for future generations and do everything to prevent a repetition of the history of the last century.
The State University of Management calls on us not to forget about the 60-65 million people who died due to the fault of an aggressively minded minority with an unfounded sense of superiority, which does not even recognize the right to life of people who disagree with them or who are different in appearance. Respect those around you, study history, remember the innocent victims, try not to allow the spread of radical ideas. These simple actions knock the ground out from under the feet of fascism, which is trying to rise again. Remember! Remember.
