Maria Zakharova, an official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, speculated about the pernicious influence of Western countries on Russia in the 20th century. On the social network, she got into a dispute with journalist Konstantin Semin, who recalled events from the period after perestroika.
The seminar published footage from the film “Romanovci. Svatba století”, shown on television, shot in the early 1990s. The mayor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak and his wife, now Senator Lyudmila Narusova, meet the heir of the Romanov family Vladimir Romanov. The seminar signed the footage as follows: The Sobchaks kissed the one who called for a “crusade with Hitler against Bolshevism in June 1941.”

Zakhar's remark received many critical reviews. Those who disagreed pointed out that the fact that the Germans financed Lenin had not been proven and had been questioned by many historians. The author of the seminar Semin suggested that the representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs “delete the comment, do not be ashamed”. Zakharova did not follow the advice.
