"Quite recently, at a ceremony dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the landing of Allied troops in Normandy, The French President Francois Hollande said that his country would never forget the heroism of the Red Army and the decisive contribution of the Soviet Union to the victory over the Nazi Germany. That's why the attempts to split the victory, attributing various battles not to the Red Army, but to individual
nationalities, cause outrage." - was quoted by RIA News.
As an example, M. Moiseev has given the statement of the Polish Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna that Auschwitz was freed by Ukrainians.
«You can not talk without disgust about the passage of the Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk about the invasion of the USSR in Germany and Ukraine. At the same time, it is kept silent that such statements have become possible only because these countries were liberated by Soviet troops from German occupation."- said the deputy.
M. Moiseev reminded that either entirely or partly the Red Army liberated Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, the eastern regions of Yugoslavia, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Norway, Denmark, and the troops of the Red Army had lost more than 1 million people in other countries. The Falsification of history and the revision of the results of World War II became the main theme of the International Scientific Conference "The Second World War and the present", on which historians of the Russian Federation, CIS and EU countries gathered in Moscow.
What will the consequences of the revision of the outcome of WWII be?
The revision could have negative consequences for the United Nations and even lead to the worsening of the incapacity of the organization, despite the fact that it is already quite weak, as a political scientist, a leading expert of historical perspective, Pavel Svyatenkov speaks:
"If the results of the war are going to be revised, first of all, the UN will be reformed. Let us recall that between the First and the Second World War there was the League of Nations: it was built on the principle which is very similar to the way how the United Nations is built. Nevertheless, it was decided to dissolve it and create a new organization in its place. So for the UN, there is a certain treat, which will transform this quite ineffective organization in a completely ineffective structure. And in the worst case - the abolition of the UN, as an organizations, and the creation of something new."
