Putin rails against Baltic anti-Semitism
By Reuters

MOSCOW - Russian President Vladimir Putin railed against Estonia and Latvia on Wednesday, accusing the former Soviet republics of condoning Nazism.

Speaking at a Kremlin meeting with members of the European Jewish Congress, Putin also lashed out at Ukraine for allowing veterans of partisan groups that fought both the Nazis and the Soviet Army to hold war remembrances.

He also criticized the European Union for its indifference.

"We know that denying the Holocaust in several countries is prosecuted under the law, but at the same times, the actions of the Latvian and Estonian authorities openly indulge the heroization of the Nazis and their supporters," Putin said.

Russian authorities have repeatedly condemned the two Baltic states for allowing veterans who fought for Nazi Germany and its allies to hold marches and commemorations.
