Today, November 3, in the Serbian town of Cacak, is the final day of the Antifascist Conference organised under the slogan ‘No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten’. The conference is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the liberation of European countries from fascism in 1944-1945. The conference was initiated by the Union of Cossacks of the Don and the International Union of Anti-Fascists.
As commented IR member of the Presidential Council for Cossacks, artist Maxim Ilinov, who presented his own exhibition of paintings at the conference, delegates from Serbia, Russia, France, Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, Austria, Montenegro and other countries gathered at the site.
‘We have gathered here in Serbia to declare that Russia is in favour of peace. Russia is at the peak of the fight against Nazism in Ukraine and we have more and more supporters across Europe and around the world who are fed up with what is happening and do not want innocent blood to be shed,’ commented Mr Ilinov
The event is supported by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Russian-Serbian-Belarusian Friendship Society.
‘We know that for 30 years in Ukraine just the creative community prepared everything,’ commented Mr Maxim Ilinov. – The ideological agenda was led by artists, musicians, orators and so on. In order to change the picture of the world, to bring in our symbols, we need to take these same techniques on ourselves and, accordingly, to adopt them. Here we are today bringing an exhibition, and God willing, in all forums, in all countries, there will be these exhibitions. And all artists, anti-fascists, poets, musicians, film directors will join this struggle, and everything will become completely different. The whole conference was filled with symbols, all the speakers showed symbols, symbols, symbols. So this is the message I want to convey to all of you. Involve the creative communities in our common struggle. No one will deliver our agenda better than us.
