“This is an element of modern information warfare. Russia is a bad guy who needs to be made worse in every way. Another attempt to accuse Russia of being almost the reason for the outbreak of World War II is to continue the Russophobic line that the collective West is trying to make an ideological basis for its political strategy, ”said the senator.
According to Morozov, with such attempts to rewrite history, some countries "are trying to justify the gigantic military budget, the rejection of international agreements, various sanctions."
“They want to impress the young Europeans that in 1939 everything was completely wrong, that Russia was a source of evil and misfortune. This is a kind of ideological pillow, which will gently fall in case of something. This is an element of a large strategy in the fight against a powerful competitor, an attempt to deprive allies and partners, to change the system and political regime in our country. Our president feels this well and understands the danger of distorting history, ”he concluded.
Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin called for truthful reporting on the events of World War II in response to attempts by some European countries and international institutions to distort historical facts.
