". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, modern day Russia inherited the historical legacy of the Soviet Union, and regards itself as the rightful heir to the latter. It stubbornly refuses to make any kind of attempt to account for its criminal past in its relations with neighbouring countries, including Poland. This past includes the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact of 23 August 1939 and the genocide such as that committed against Polish officers murdered in Katyn, Kharkov and Mednoe in 1940 and in numerous NKVD dungeons over the following years. Another burden that weighs heavy upon present relations between the EU Member States and Russia is the fact that the latter has made no apology for the communist dictatorship that was imposed upon the Central and Eastern European countries after the end of the Second World War. When voting on today’s report, we should not forget that the arrogance and hypocrisy displayed by the Russian authorities with regard to the issues I have mentioned, together with Russia’s current policies on Chechnya, Georgia, Moldova and the Baltic states, blatantly violate democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights, and hence the values to which the European Union so readily subscribes."@en1
