History is used in information warfare, ”he said.
According to him, “sometimes unfair discussions are going on around various events of the past”.
“Some would-be politicians and those who call themselves historians, but in fact are not, agreed to the point that it was not fascist Germany that attacked the Soviet Union, but they did not share something between themselves, and as a result, the Second World War.
This, of course, is immoral, this is nonsense, this must be fought.
Fight primarily at the expense of historical enlightenment, due to the fact that more and more archival documents are released into public circulation, which clearly show where the truth is and where the lie is, "added Naryshkin.
