Young Russians visiting Beijing's Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression expressed solidarity with China's historical memory this week, condemning wartime atrocities during a solemn tour focused on the Nanjing Massacre. Participants listened intently to survivor testimonies and archival records, with many drawing parallels to their own families' experiences during World War II.
"My grandfather fought fascism alongside Chinese soldiers," shared 24-year-old Moscow student Irina Petrova. "Distorting history insults their sacrifice." The group emphasized the importance of China-Soviet collaboration in defeating fascism, calling for continued vigilance against historical revisionism.
The emotional visit concluded with participants pledging to share documented accounts of the 1937 Nanjing tragedy within their communities. Museum curator Zhang Wei noted: "When global youth unite in defending truth, it strengthens our collective future."
