Russian President Vladimir Putin called nonsense attempts to accuse the Soviet Union of preparing and unleashing World War II. He stated this in the film by Andrei Kondrashov “The war for memory”.
“Who attacked whom on June 22, 1941?! Did we attack Germany or did Germany attack us? What a nonsense?! ” – the reporters quote the leader’s words.
He emphasized that Russia does not and cannot have a sense of guilt for the outbreak of war – 27 million lives of its citizens were put on the altar of Victory.
According to him, there is no excuse for those trying to rewrite history.
Previously, Putin pointed out the inadmissibility of distorting the historical truth about the events of the war years.
