The Federation Council called the law on the prohibition of equalizing the roles of the USSR and Germany in the war important

“This is a very important and timely law.

Years have passed since the war, the participants in these events have left, the next generations have gone or become deeply old, and the West is trying to rewrite history.

I think we shouldn't be allowed to rewrite history.

It is no coincidence that the archives of the Second World War, which we opened on the eve of the 75th anniversary of Victory, revealed the negative role of many Western countries, which they played during the war, ”Jabarov stressed. 

The senator also added that the slightest attempt to equate the role of the USSR and Germany in the war is a crime.

Earlier, the State Duma in the third reading adopted amendments to the law providing for a ban on public identification of the role of the USSR and Nazi Germany in World War II.
