    You are correct, see my other comment.

    If you read the resolution and the answers of national governments why they abstained, the answer is found in points 4 and 14 of the resolution, where everyone who fought against the anti-Hitler coalition is condemned and equivocated with nazi-sympathisers. This does include people who opportunistically fought againt the Red Army in the baltic states and Ukraine for national liberation from the USSR, but not necessarily on the german side.

    This resolution is a veiled attemp to paint even the people who fought against Russia for freedom from the USSR but not for Germany as part of the Nazi movements in Soviet states that did fight for Germany.

      “The resolution is bad because it condemns people who fought alongside the Nazis to genocide the USSR.”

      Not beating the Nazi allegations.

        “People who fought for freedom from the USSR were genociding it.”

          This is just the European equivelant of defending the confederates, except the confederates weren’t allied with the literal Nazis.
