(ANSA) - MOSCOW - The former Soviet president, Mikhail Gorbachev, stigmatized the absence of Western political leaders in Moscow at the celebrations for the 70th anniversary of the victory against Nazi Germany, definining it as "sign of contempt" towards who fought against Nazism. For Gorbachev, the fact that German Chancellor Angela Merkel will be in Moscow without assisting at the official parade is a consequence of US pressures. (ANSA).
