Memorial representative Nikita Petrov commented on the information about the initiation of the case: “International Memorial was liquidated by a decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation more than a year ago. Current attempts to excite in pursuit also criminal case look ridiculous – how self-justification of investigative authorities and demonstration of vigorous activity. Moreover, these attempts completely illegal.

The International Memorial is accused of “rehabilitating Nazism” under Art. 354.1 – fabrication of a case from scratch….
In its activities, statements and publications, the International Memorial has never denied or cast doubt on the conclusions of the Nuremberg Tribunal. In its assessment of Soviet history, the Memorial relied, among other things, on the verdict of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of November 30, 1992 in the CPSU Case, which still has the highest legal status in our country, which reads: “For a long time, the country was dominated by a regime of unlimited power based on violence a narrow group of communist functionaries united in the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, headed by the General Secretary of the Central Committee CPSU”. ..
Truth is always concrete. There was no violation in the activities of the International Memorial, and there are no persons responsible for it. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for the investigative department of the Investigative Committee for the Tver region to immediately identify what exactly, what episode (publication, statement) constitutes a violation of the above-mentioned Article 354.1 by International Memorial.”
