[/P]"Today they are trying to cancel an entire thousand-year-old civilization, our people," Putin said during a meeting, broadcast on Russian television, with cultural figures, referring to the cancellation of events focusing on Russian authors in some Western countries in recent weeks.
"This is how they ban Russian writers and books," Putin added.
The Russian head of state compared the cancellation of cultural events to the burning of books organized by the Nazis.
"The last time, it was the Nazis in Germany, some 90 years ago, who carried out such a campaign to destroy an undesirable culture. We well remember the images of books being burned in public squares," he noted.
