Medvedev called it shameful for Germans to talk about Holodomor

01 December 2022


Germany has no right to teach Russia humanism and stories about the so-called Holodomor. Germans themselves should continue to repent for their crimes during the war. This opinion was expressed by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, Chairman of "United Russia" Dmitry Medvedev.


"The Germans are now teaching us humanism - let them remember their history, what they did on the territory of our country! And now they're telling us about the Holodomor, about something else. It's shameful to hear it coming out of the very high officials, they should repent for [this] three more generations ahead," Medvedev said during the reception of citizens in the office of "United Russia".


On November 30, the German Bundestag (parliament) approved a resolution describing the so-called Holodomor, a mass famine in the Soviet Union in the early 1930s, as genocide. Earlier, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was the first member of the German government to publicly call the famine a genocide.
