Article by Russian Ambassador to Singapore Nikolay Kudashev “The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945: lessons and modern times" Key points: - In spite of attempts of historical revisionism, Russia continues to defend the truth that it was the Soviet Union, the Soviet people and the Red Army that made the main and decisive contribution to the defeat of Nazism. - Red Army saved entire peoples of Europe from destruction and enslavement, from the horrors of Holocaust, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives of Soviet soldiers. - Russia rightfully joined the circle of architects of the post-war world, became one of the founding countries of the UN, contributed to the development of the UN Charter, which remains the cornerstone of international relations to this day. - It is particularly shameful that today, in a number of European countries, individuals who have stained themselves by collaborating with the Nazis are suddenly granted the status of war veterans or even elevated to the rank of national heroes. - Modern heroes continue the cause of their fathers and grandfathers, liberating people from Nazi oppression on the fields of the special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine. The task of denazification is an extremely important mission, comparable to the feats of heroes of the past. #Victory80#Победа80#GreatPatrioticWar
