Il est essentiel de comprendre pourquoi la réécriture de l’histoire par la Russie a des implications dangereuses pour notre monde actuel. L’article de Vladimir Poutine de juin 2020, « Les vraies leçons du 75e anniversaire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale »
shows that Russia has taken the long-practiced Soviet-style rewriting of WWII history to a new level. Putin endorsed a false claim that Russia and the Red Army are the only liberators of Europe and the only victors of WWII. Furthermore, the Kremlin incorporated this idea as a part of their constitution — a state ideology, and thus demand that the world accept this rewritten view of the history of the Second World War.
