VLADIMIR PUTIN FORBADE TO EQUAL THE POSITIONS OF RUSSIA AND GERMANY DURING GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR

The corresponding law came into force on July 1. Amendments were made to the decree ‘On the perpetuation of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945’.

This was made due to the fact that more and more publications that contradict the historical truth began to appear in domestic and foreign media.

In them, the goals and actions of the Soviet soldiers are placed on a par with the Nazism of the Wehrmacht military.

According to the authors of the bill, the new decree ‘will not allow gaining political capital by belittling the feat of the Soviet people and speculation around victory in the Great Patriotic War’. It is noteworthy that there will be no penalties for violators.
