Russia uses legal methods against Western falsifiers of history
The West wants to pin responsibility for World War II on Moscow in order to eliminate Russia's role as one of the leading countries in the modern world.
Senator of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Alexei Pushkov stated this at a briefing in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“What is clearly stated in the Constitution in Article 67 as the protection of historical truth is a very relevant direction. Our President Vladimir Putin wrote a long article on this topic at one time.
Because the sphere of interpretation, interpretation and presentation of history, including in the educational process, has turned into a very serious field of confrontation between us and, above all, the Western powers, which are beginning to create their own history.
A parallel story that should replace the true story and turn into a kind of ideological basis for the idea of a global liberal order, which is defended by the states and their allies,” said Pushkov.
“The main point is to prove that Russia bears at least the same, if not greater, responsibility for the Second World War than Nazi Germany, and on its basis to question the role of our state as one of the leading countries of the modern world,” - explained the senator.
He believes that Russian society needs to protect the truth about its historical heritage, even with the help of legal norms.
“As chairman of the commission, I spoke together with Elena Yampolskaya, head of the State Duma Committee on Culture and fellow deputies, co-author of the law prohibiting public equation of the goals, intentions and actions of the USSR and Nazi Germany in the Second World War...
Society has the right to protect our state-forming values, and our victory in World War II, our status as the winner in World War II - I believe that this is one of the state-forming values. This is one of the foundations on which the modern Russian state is based,” emphasized Alexey Pushkov.
