✍️ Vice-Rector of the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Oleg Karpovich:
Why Eastern Europe is distorting the history of World War II
💬 After joining the European Union in 2004, the Eastern European states skillfully played the card of the formation of a sense of guilt before them in the countries of “old” Europe and new assessments of the history of World War II, presenting themselves as “victims of communism”. They managed to ensure that the EU actually stopped condemning them for the rehabilitation of collaborators, especially in cases where they did not directly participate in the destruction of the Jewish population.
At the initiative of the “young Europeans”, the anti-Russian tilt has long become a strong trend in pan-European politics.
☝️ The revision of approaches to the history of the Second World War, the results of which are the basis of key international institutions, including the UN Security Council, can cause irreparable damage to the modern world order.
