State Duma Committee to discuss day of genocide of the Soviet people [REGNUM] The State Duma Committee on Labor and Social Policy is ready to discuss the initiative of former juvenile prisoners of fascism to establish the Day of the Genocide of the Soviet People. This was stated to a REGNUM correspondent on January 27 by the head of the State Duma committee, Yaroslav Nilov (LDPR). "I believe that any initiative that comes from them should be treated with respect. The initiative comes from the living witnesses of those terrible events, those who found themselves behind the walls of the concentration camps, and for them this is not just history, not just theory, it is personal hard participation. I believe that the initiative should be discussed, and the implementation format should be jointly searched for and analyzed the consequences so that the good idea is not discredited and does not turn out only worse. We in the committee are ready to discuss this initiative of theirs," Nilov said. He also drew attention to the fact that the presence of such a date in the law "On the days of military glory and memorable dates in Russia" makes it possible to additionally discuss problems, hold events and meetings. "We will discuss, I believe that we must remember all these sad pages of history, know and draw the attention of the younger generation to them," the parliamentarian noted. The head of the committee said that the committee is actively working with public organizations of former juvenile prisoners of fascism. "They are asking for amendments to the law on veterans, secondly, the housing issue, the problem with the provision of housing, they are equated with benefits to participants in the war, and when solving the housing issue, they are on a first-come-first-served basis that does not move. And there are amendments in the committee," Nilov added. The Moscow regional public organization of former juvenile prisoners of fascism asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to recognize the genocide of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War. |
