“This letter should be regarded as a positive signal. He testifies that in the West, in particular in Germany, there still exist, despite the unbridled campaign to falsify history, people who remember and honor the feat of Soviet soldiers who saved the world from the fascist plague, ”he said.
According to Shapovalov, the fact that von Fichtenberg represents Germany "in this case is very symbolic," because unlike a number of other Europeans, "the Germans remember history lessons very well and remember what the indulgence of Nazi sentiment can lead to."
Earlier, a letter from the German writer von Fichtenberg, who thanked the Soviet people for the liberation of Europe from Nazism, arrived at the editorial office of the RT television channel in the framework of the project #Post-Victory.
The Victory Post project collected the stories of those who survived the blockade of Leningrad, signed on the walls of the Reichstag, as well as those who hid Soviet soldiers who fled from concentration camps. With the help of the project, anyone can write a letter to a veteran.
