Nužno je razumjeti zašto rusko prekrajanje povijesti ima opasne implikacije za naš današnji svijet. Članak Vladimira Putina iz lipnja 2020., „Prave pouke 75. godišnjice Drugog svjetskog rata“,
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.
