Why not everyone supports UN anti-Nazi resolution

The UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution that condemns presenting German Nazis and their collaborators during WWII as heroes. The draft of this resolution was worked out by Russia.

The resolution was approved by the majority of the UN member countries. However, several European countries abstained from voting, and the US, Canada and the Marshall Islands voted against the resolution. Russia finds the position of these countries rather strange.

The resolution, in particular, expresses concern that today, nationalist sentiments are increasing in some parts of the world. Cases of vandalism against monuments to fighters against Nazism are becoming more frequent. Moreover, the authorities of three former Soviet states – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – quite often officially back marches of those who were collaborators of German Nazis during WWII and their younger supporters.
