Subject: Why the Holocaust Mythology Still Survives: Russia has a vested interest in promoting it
 
Dear Michael,
 
Please read the following missive from the Voice of Russia.  One of the main reasons that the Holocaust mythology still survives is because Russia has a vested interest in promoting it.  This is precisely the point I make in my latest essay at http://www.inconvenienthistory.com/archive/2010/volume_2/number_1/non_jewish_stake_in_holocaust_mythology.php

Nazis were murderers, not freedom fighters - Medvedev, Netanyahu

Russia and Israel believe questioning the Nazi Holocaust of the European Jews encourages a new wave of xenophobia and racism. They also denounce attempts to brand wartime Allied forces conquerors  and exonerate wartime collaborators with the Nazis as freedom fighters.

President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu say this in a joint statement in Moscow on Monday ahead of the 65th anniversary of Allied Victory over Nazi Germany. Their countries are to hold joint commemorations in May, attended by thousands of Israeli war veterans who fought in the ranks of the Soviet Red Army.

They will also step up work in archives to expose and document Nazi crimes against Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians and Jews.

The Russian historian Dr Alexander Dyukov tells us about the importance of such research:

Authorities in the Baltics wage campaigns to whitewash wartime collaborators with the Nazis and accuse Soviet forces of genocide. They use these campaigns for building ethnocracies in which ethnic Russians stay out in the cold. In Ukraine, outgoing President Victor Yushchenko posthumously awarded the honour of National Hero to the leader of the pro-Nazi Ukrainian Insurgent Army and exterminator of Ukrainian Jews Stepan Bandera. The government of Iran dismisses the Holocaust as myth  and demands Russian and British compensation for what it calls the Soviet-British occupation of its country in 1941. If allowed to flourish, this revisionism will trigger a wave of Neo-Nazism in many parts of the world. And as long as it is supported by states, confronting it is a matter for national governments.
