"We propose to consider setting a Memorial Day for the victims of colonialism on December 14, within the frameworks of the UN General Assembly," Medvedev said at the plenary session of the For Freedom of Nations international forum in Moscow. The issue of responsibility of the former colonial powers for genocide and racial discrimination should be discussed within the international platforms, Medvedev said at the session. Medvedev proposed the creation of an informal international sociopolitical movement against neocolonialism, open for broad cooperation with any interested states, political parties and organizations. The total sum of loot throughout the entire colonial period around the world is estimated at about $300 trillion, Russian Senator Andrey Klimov said on Wednesday, adding that, in particular, in the years of British rule in India, treasures worth about 40 trillion pounds ($50 trillion) in modern equivalent were exported from the South Asian state.

Russia's Medvedev Proposes Setting December 14 as Memorial Day for Victims of Colonialism
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev on Friday proposed that the UN General Assembly consider establishing a Memorial Day for the victims of colonialism and assign December 14 as commemoration day.
"We propose to consider setting a Memorial Day for the victims of colonialism on December 14, within the frameworks of the UN General Assembly," Medvedev said at the plenary session of the For Freedom of Nations international forum in Moscow. The issue of responsibility of the former colonial powers for genocide and racial discrimination should be discussed within the international platforms, Medvedev said at the session.
"It is also important to systematize information about the crimes committed in the colonial period and to begin an objective assessment of the damage caused," the politician added.
Medvedev proposed the creation of an informal international sociopolitical movement against neocolonialism, open for broad cooperation with any interested states, political parties and organizations.
"[This movement will be] aimed at contributing to ensuring reliable, indivisible security, global stability, justice, compliance with the principles of no interference into other countries’ affairs and to respecting their cultural and civilizational uniqueness," Medvedev added.
The total sum of loot throughout the entire colonial period around the world is estimated at about $300 trillion, Russian Senator Andrey Klimov said on Wednesday, adding that, in particular, in the years of British rule in India, treasures worth about 40 trillion pounds ($50 trillion) in modern equivalent were exported from the South Asian state.
