Aside from an article published in the Communist newspaper Pravda about the capture of Auschwitz by the Red Army in January 1945, Russia doesn't really seem to care about its role in the liberation of the concentration camps. The Holocaust Remembrance Day is barely celebrated in Russian public life.
