During the conversation, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin thanked Chief Rabbi Berl Lazar for the consistent efforts of Jewish organizations in Russia to preserve the memory of the victims of Nazism and counter historical revisionism.
"I closely follow what is happening in the world to distort history, in particular, to deny the Holocaust. I would like to note that Jewish organizations are our consistent allies in our efforts to preserve the memory of the victims of Nazism and the real tragedies of World War II. "
