“We must contrast this with objective information, which we have enough. I already spoke about this in the message. We will create a center from archival documents, video, photo materials that for decades ahead, and maybe for a much longer period of time, will not allow anyone to distort this story, ”RIA Novosti quoted Putin as saying.
According to the president, Western countries distort history to achieve "momentary political goals", harming the country's people.
Earlier, the leader said that the Russian side will not allow anyone to erase the memory of the Great Patriotic War.
Putin also promised that Russia would open a center for archival documents relating to the Second World War in order to shut up the “bad mouth” for those who are trying to re-read history.
