According to the text of the document published by the press service of the Riigikogu, the parliament supports Poland and other European countries, "which the Russian Federation classifies as the culprits of the Second World War."

“The parliament condemns the attempts of the Russian authorities to rewrite history, denying the role of the Soviet Union as one of the main initiators of World War II and shifting responsibility to the victims of aggression,” the resolution says.

According to the document, the Second World War allegedly was a consequence of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact on non-aggression between Germany and the Soviet Union and "its secret protocols."

“Fascist Germany, the communist Soviet Union and other totalitarian regimes are guilty of massacres, deportations and the deprivation of life and freedom, unprecedented in scale in the history of mankind,” the text says.

Earlier, the Russian ambassador to Lithuania, Alexander Udaltsov, commented on attempts by some states to manipulate historical facts.

The diplomat emphasized that in assessing the reasons for responsibility for the beginning and the outcome of the war, it is necessary to rely on the conclusions and decisions of the Nuremberg Tribunal.

He recalled that attempts to substitute or “blur” his conclusions are immoral and unacceptable.

In January, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that Russia would create an archive center to prevent Western countries from perverting the history of World War II.

The head of state instructed the Cabinet to ensure the creation of a set of archival documents, film and photo materials dedicated to the Second World War.

In June 2019, the Historical Memory Foundation first published scanned pages of the Nonaggression Treaty between Germany and the Soviet Union of August 23, 1939.
