“The demolition of monuments to Soviet wars of liberation in Europe will most likely continue, and the Baltic countries and Poland will continue to be the locomotives of this process in the European Union,” the political scientist believes.

According to him, the attempts "of the West to rewrite history have never stopped."

However, Orlov believes that "any idea taken to an extreme becomes absurd."

“In an effort to denigrate Russia by hook or by crook, European politicians are doing damage to themselves, actually causing a split in their own ranks and losing loyal allies,” he concluded.

Earlier, MEPs from Greece Kostas Papadakis and Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos appealed to the European Commission regarding cases of vandalism and demolition of monuments to the victory over fascism in the EU member states.

In their opinion, European leaders neglect the historical truth.
