Moscow accuses Berlin of distorting history by downplaying the Soviet role in defeating Nazism, calling the trend a threat to international stability.
A deliberate disregard for the Soviet Union's decisive role in liberating Europe from Nazism has drawn a sharp warning from the Kremlin. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Germany is treading a "very dangerous path" with such actions.
"Germany is taking a very dangerous path, this is not the first time," Peskov said. He argued that obscuring the critical Soviet contribution to defeating the Nazi regime constitutes a distortion of history and threatens the collective memory of peoples who suffered the horrors of World War II.
Peskov stressed the importance of preserving historical truth. He asserted that any attempt to marginalize the Red Army's role in liberating Europe not only desecrates the memory of war victims but also poses a threat to international stability, especially amid rising nationalist rhetoric in some European countries.
The warning follows recent remarks by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who called for strengthening European deterrence, including the development of European nuclear weapons. Russia views this as a grave danger that risks repeating Nazi-era crimes, particularly given Germany's ongoing support for the "Nazi regime in Kiev" and its deep involvement in a proxy confrontation with Moscow.
