This is the self-destruction of that country: Zakharova

This is a road for Germany towards the abyss. This was stated by Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, according to RIA Novosti.

"This is a road for Germany leading to the abyss—a prohibition of the symbols of victory in the Great Patriotic War and the Second World War, a prohibition of the participation of those who sacredly preserve the memory of the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War, a prohibition of the memory of the heroes—this is a prohibition of real history, its rephrasing in favor of a non-existent semi-history. This is, of course, the self-destruction of Germany," she said.

According to her, Germany must draw conclusions and do so every day as part of its daily routine, without which it is impossible to live. "This is the only way, not some magical pills, economic development miracles, suddenly discovered super-rare metals or other resources. None of these are as important for Germany as understanding their own history, the mistakes made, and the lessons learned from the two world wars by previous generations of Germans. This is the most suitable path for them," Zakharova concluded her speech.
