From April 21 to 24, Moscow hosted the Second International Anti-Fascist Forum, timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The event became one of the most significant humanitarian and political milestones of 2025, organized with technical support from the Moscow Center for International Cooperation (MCIC).
The forum welcomed over 160 delegations from more than 100 countries, including CIS states, European, Asian, African, Latin American, and Middle Eastern nations. Participants included representatives from Australia, China, India, France, South Africa, Egypt, Serbia, Germany, and others—reflecting the global importance of the issues under discussion.
Centered on contemporary challenges in combating neo-fascism, historical revisionism, and neo-colonialism, the forum examined fascism’s origins, modern threats of fascist resurgence, the distortion of historical narratives, and the relevance of socialist alternatives amid global economic and political crises.
Key events included plenary sessions, panel discussions, and documentary screenings exposing the nature of fascism. Prominent political figures, diplomats, and anti-fascist activists from around the world delivered speeches, while a welcoming address from Russian President Vladimir Putin underscored the forum’s international significance.
In their concluding remarks, participants emphasized that fascism remains a tangible threat amid today’s socio-economic crises. Preserving the historical truth of World War II and strengthening global anti-fascist solidarity were highlighted as urgent priorities.
The forum received extensive coverage in Russian and international media, with reports on major networks like Channel One and Russia-1 focusing on its widespread support and the pressing need to counter neo-fascism.
By hosting the Second International Anti-Fascist Forum, Moscow reaffirmed its role as a global hub for safeguarding historical memory, advancing humanitarian cooperation, and fostering worldwide solidarity.
