  President Vladimir Putin has expressed concern over the spread of neo-Nazi

  ideology in Europe and called for efforts to prevent the revision of the 
outcome of the Second World War.

"Unfortunately, the vaccine against the Nazi virus, developed at the Nuremberg 
trials, is losing its effectiveness in some European countries. A clear sign of 
this trend is open manifestations of neo-Nazism, which have become common in 
Latvia and other Baltic states," Putin said on the eve of his visit to Serbia 
on October 16.

"We are especially concerned in this respect about the situation in Ukraine

 , where an unconstitutional state coup in February was driven by nationalists 
and other radical groups," Putin said in an interview with Serbian newspaper 
Politika.

"Today, our common goal is to counter the glorification of Nazism, firmly 
counter attempts to revise the results of World War II and consequently fight 
any forms and manifestations of racism, xenophobia, aggressive nationalism and 
chauvinism," Putin stressed.

Talking about the events of World War II, Putin said that "our nations together 
cracked down on the criminal ideology of hatred towards the humanity".

"Today it is important that people in different countries and continents 
understand what horrible ramifications can be brought about by confidence in 
one's being exceptional, by attempts to achieve doubtful geopolitical aims as 
well as by neglect of basic human rights and morality. We must do everything to 
avoid such tragedies in the future," Putin added.

Putin also expressed gratitude to the people of Serbia for respecting the 
memory of Soviet soldiers, who fought with the People's Liberation Army of 
Yugoslavia (NOAYU) during the years of the war. He added that over 31,000 
soldiers and officers of the Red Army were either killed, injured or gone 
missing on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. Besides, he mentioned that 
over 6,000 soldiers and officers fought against the invaders in the ranks of 
NOAYU.

Putin will pay a visit to Belgrade on October 16, where he will attend the 
70-year anniversary

  of the liberation of the Serbian capital from Nazi invaders during World War 
II. He will also have talks with the president and prime minister of Serbia 
over political and economic cooperation.
