🕯 Russia has a tradition.
On the eve of the Victory Day over Nazism which is annually celebrated on May 9, Russian schools and kindergartens host so-called 'Lesson of Courage'.
🎖These lessons are aimed at telling children the truth about immortal feat of their ancestors who sacrificed their lives to stop the Nazi war machine striving for the annihilation of the whole nations on the basis of origin.
Another important task of the 'Lessons of Courage' is preservation of the historical memory for the future generations. It's not a secret that nowadays Western countries are trying to rewrite history and hide any trace of the crucial USSR role in the issue of ending Nazism.
☝️We will not allow that to happen.
Today, on May 8, the Russian Children's Center in Cape Town held the "Lesson of Courage" for its little pupils.

🎙 Acting Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial plaques at the Foreign Ministry (Moscow, May 8, 2024)
💬 Today, according to tradition, we celebrate Great Victory Day, May 9, a day that will never be gone from our memory, a day when we commemorate those who protected Russia, Europe and the world from Nazism and pay tribute to their heroism.
We are proud that diplomats were among the heroes who resisted the enemy, weapon in hand, or worked to support their Motherland on the home front, addressing economic tasks. After the war, they spared no effort to create a just international system, in which the USSR – our state, our nation – would take its rightful place, which was due to us according to historical justice. This is how the United Nations was created.
🏅 I would like to repeat that employees of the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs and our colleagues from the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade contributed to that victory on all fronts. Many of them became victims of political repression. We will always remember this. <...>
☝️ The descendants of Napoleon and Hitler have joined the Anglo-Saxons, again seeking to inflict a “strategic defeat” on our country, destroy it and subordinate it to their narrow selfish hegemonic interests. <...> Our soldiers on the front line, the people who provide them with weapons and equipment, as well as others, who are fostering the correct perception of our just struggle in the international arena, are definitely continuing the cause of our fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers.
🌐 The countries of the global majority know that Russia is fighting for everyone who wants to make their own choices and follow their own traditions, who do not want to see any manifestations of Nazism, racial or religious discrimination. The West is constantly pushing its satellites and puppets to this.

💬 Russia’s Ambassador to South Africa H.E. Mr. Ilya Rogachev: The memory of one of the bloodiest wars in humankind's history is sacred to us.
Our former Western partners openly admit that if the West loses in Ukraine, it will mean the end of the golden age of Western civilization.
We will still have challenges ahead, but we’ll summon our strength, and eventually win.

🎬 From Berlin to Maidan: 80 years on — Nazism gaining notoriety in Ukraine — an RT Doc Film.
Synopsis: In 1945 the Soviet Union defeated Nazi Germany and put an end to the Nazi atrocities at the cost of 27 million lives of the Soviet people. 80 years later, the same nationalist ideas the Soviet people had been fighting against is starting to spread across Ukraine.
The main ideas of the Third Reich are now relevant in Ukraine: killing of civilians, militarisation of society and radical policy imposed by nationalists. Besides that, history books in Ukraine are being rewritten, with nationalist leaders Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevich being made new role models, while the monuments of WWII heroes are being demolished. Decades later, is history repeating itself again?
The authors of the film, talking about the Great Patriotic War, draw parallels with the current events in Ukraine. Now, at the places of those old battles, when the Red Army liberated Ukraine from Hitler, hostilities are taking place again. The grandchildren of the Soviet soldiers who defeated German fascism in 1945 have to fight with its new followers, whose hero is Bandera. Historians, political scientists and journalists share their opinions on the reasons that led to the war 80 years ago and on the current situation in Ukraine.

11 мая с.г. в Кейптауне состоялись организованные Генконсульством России и активистами КСОРС праздничные мероприятия, посвящённые Дню Победы.
В шествии «Бессмертного полка» приняли участие около 60 человек - сотрудники ГК, российские соотечественники, официальные лица, дипломаты из дружественных стран, южноафриканские ветераны и неравнодушные представители местной общественности.
Обращаясь к собравшимся, генконсул А.В.Маленко отметил, что уже четвертый год подряд шествие в Кейптауне, несмотря ни на какие внешние обстоятельства, проходит в «живом» формате при активном участии соотечественников, которые с энтузиазмом поддерживают данную акцию. Между тем интерес к акции растет и среди местных друзей России: портреты своих героических боровшихся с гитлеровской сворой предков наравне с россиянами пронесли южноафриканка, итальянец, немец и серб.
В ходе праздника группа активистов КСОРС положила начало «Саду памяти» в Кейптауне.

🇷🇺🇿🇦On May 13, a Memorandum of Understanding between the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town and the Kremlin of the Russian city of Kazan was virtually signed with the mediation of the Russian Consulate General.
The Castle of Good Hope is known locally as "The Castle" - a bastion fort built in the 17th century in Cape Town. The Castle was declared a historical monument in 1936. It is considered the best preserved example of a 17th century architectural structure in the world.
The Kazan Kremlin is the oldest part of Kazan, representing a complex of architectural, historical and archaeological monuments that reveal the thousand-year history of the city. Today, the Kazan Kremlin is one of the most popular tourist sites in Russia, visited by more than 3 million people annually.
We believe that it will give a start to a fruitful cooperation of the two entities in the field of culture and preservation of the historical heritage and furthermore become one more step in strengthening Russia-South Africa relations.
