The Minister noted that not for all the world the memory of the Victory was sacred monuments to soldiers-liberators and burial of the fallen soldiers in some countries are exposed to defilement and destruction.
“We see attempts to discredit heroes, the artificial origin of the doubt about the correctness of the path, the way of our ancestors”, — the article says the Russian foreign Minister.
According to Lavrov, the Western system of education introduced a false interpretation of history.
“Young people are convinced of the fact that the main merit in a victory over fascism and the liberation of Europe belongs not to the Soviet forces and the West — thanks to the landing in Normandy,” he explained.
