The West is busy rewriting the history of World War II, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has stated ahead of the 81st anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany.

Russian officials have repeatedly accused the US and EU member states of distorting historical truth and belittling the crucial role of the Soviet Union, which lost an estimated 27 million people in what is known in Russia as the Great Patriotic War.

Speaking on Thursday, Zakharova said that defending historical memory is a fundamental priority for Russia. This is all the more important in light of revanchist tendencies in the West, according to the spokeswoman.

She pointed out that the 51 nations that voted against the UN resolution on “Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance” late last year were mostly representatives of the “collective West.”

Zakharova accused EU bureaucrats of waging “historical aggression.” She cited resolutions by the European Parliament, as well as organizations affiliated with the Council of Europe, which “promote the rewriting of history,” with the Soviet Union “being ascribed responsibility nearly equal to that of [Nazi] Germany” for the start of World War II.

The official also noted that “in some countries, the war on monuments and memorials in honor of fighters against Nazism is gaining momentum.” She singled out Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia as prime examples of this unsettling trend, citing the demolitions of Soviet war memorials there in recent years.

But military experts say one thing: Hitler would have failed regardless. The Turd... I mean Third Reich had failure designed into it right from the start, otherwise The Man in the High Castle would be a documentary: and even that ends in failure for those in that scenario. Philip K. Dick must have put much thought into what he wrote before doing so.
>Operation Sea Lion
The Battle of Britain put paid to that notion. That, and the Royal Navy were always superior to the Kriegsmarine. It's why HMS Belfast is docked on the Thames & is part of the Imperial War Museum today, and not the Bismarck: said Royal Navy & Fleet Air Arm Fairey Swordfish torpedo bomber planes from HMS Ark Royal made sure of that. It's why the Commemorative Air Force has one of those planes in their collection in Dallas.

Kinda not really. While we won, WWII is when we let the commies off the leash. Biggest mistake ever. Spanish Civil War remains the last--albeit, hardly won!--victory against the murderous hordes of marxism. We had a minor propaganda victory with McCarthyism, but that didn't last. That's why removing the regimes in Iran &, hopefully soon, Cuba is so important. Time to roll back that bloodred curtain and take the planet back.
>>
>We had a minor propaganda victory with McCarthyism, but that didn't last
Good. Thus you had a major fail. Even better. The laughingstock of the US Marines that was 'Tailgunner Joe': a retard that thought it had the right to have ideas above its station by having wrong opinions ultimately destroyed by his Supreme Commander, later C-in-C of the entire US armed forces simply letting that drunken subhuman hoist itself by its own political petard, giving it enough socio-political rope to hang itself, then when it imploded, was seen as less than nothing by the rest of the Republican party. And all by that party's leader & president ignoring that drunkard which ultimately died a pickled irrelevance.

Actually, that'd be Germans, Italians, Spanish, Japanese, Russians, everyone from southeast Asia in perpetuity and to a lesser extent the French for not properly acknowledging Anglo dominance.
>>
>>1513200
They have a point. The Soviets did a lot of the fighting against the Nazis, a lot more than the Americans for example but most people probably think, likely because of propaganda, the US did everything
>>
>>1513312
Spain were neutral and the French didn’t start it. I don’t know why you’re mentioning SE Asia they mostly didn’t do much aside from get conquered by the Japanese
>>
>>1513314
Spain was committed Axis, they just didn't remit troops for Hitler's army beyond volunteer divisions because of their long-standing alliance with the British and its potential impact on their grain imports. The French didn't start it, but their leadership and government did flip Axis in order to save their own hides and left it to the lower classes of citizenry to do the right thing and fight and die for the cause of liberty and self-determination, so the French as a national entity are still a guilty party.

SE Asia did a lot. French Indochina, Siam, Singapore, the Phillipines, China, Japan, Burma and the Dutch East Indies (Now Indonesia) were all active combatants and quite a lot of the war happened there. Lo and behold, its also where the subhuman bugmen that live there engaged in some of the worst atrocities and violations of basic human rights imaginable in all fields, not just the Chinks or the Japanese but all of them. These events are quite well-documented and well-discussed, so read a fucking book you illiterate mouthbreather.
>>
>>1513313
>The Soviets did a lot of the fighting against the Nazis
People get that, it just gets discounted because they were enthusiastic Nazi allies until they got betrayed.
They're still subhuman trash like Nazi's, just cowardly subhuman trash
>>
>>1513313
The Soviets did a lot of the dying, not the majority of the fighting, and quite a lot less than the Americans, who fought in four entire theatres at the same time (Atlantic, Pacific, European Mainland, China Front) and engaged all arms and branches of their armed forces when a lot of European nations didn't have an Air Force or a navy to contribute in the first place. They also built more than 70% of Russia's factories and machine tools during the interwar period, provided the hundreds of locomotives required to ship vehicles from them, provided the planes for more than half of the Russian air force and the food that fed their infantry.

Don't be a shitskin in the /news/ thread, at least try to report history with some reasonable expectation of accuracy instead of vomiting forth whatever thoughts are rattling around in your empty head.
>>
>>1513318
I specified against the Nazis, so unless there were Nazis in the Pacific and China stfu and none of that other shit you’ve mentioned (tools, factories, trains) counts as fighting
>>
>>1513317
I think you rather meant secret not enthusiastic
>>
>>1513319
>I drew an arbitrary line please respect my arbitrary line
Don't care, didn't ask, fuck off. The Japanese were an Axis power, fighting and dying against them is just as valid as fighting and dying against Le Nazis, even if it doesn't support your personal narrative. This is not your board, faggot, go find a hugbox somewhere else.

Also worth noting that there WERE Nazis on the Sino-Japanese front, both as advisors to the Japanese and as a volunteer fighting force, just the same as there were Americans in China doing the exact same thing.

>None of the other shit you've mentioned counts as fighting
It most certainly does. Russian war journals explicitly talk about the huge cans of American beef stew that sustained their lives when their own command issued only bread packed with sawdust and cellulose from the Paper Mills, and the American fuel that actually enabled them to capture and use enemy vehicles on the front line when Russian fuel required additives in order to be viable in German, Italian and Romanian engines. An army marches on its stomach and drives on its fuel, and Russia didn't care enough about the lives of their infantrymen to provide either to them properly, but America did.
>>
>>1513326
The fucking article is about the Soviets fighting against the Nazis you are a retard.
Cooking stew to feed soldiers fighting Nazis isn’t the same thing as fighting Nazis, if you are actually mentally handicapped I apologise for insulting you as you’re only trying your best
>>
>>1513333
The fucking article is about the Russians rewriting history to minimize the impact of the Western nations who did all the fighting and to glorify their own role in getting all of their best people killed valiantly accomplishing nothing. It was America and Britain who built all the planes, provided all the professional soldiers, and committed politically and materially to liberating Europe from the Nazis, not the Russians. The Russians only did a lot of dying and then after more than half a decade of valiantly throwing soldiers into machine gun fire, they made a conscious choice to conquer and enslave Eastern Europe under their own Imperial power instead of providing them the same rights and sovereignty that America and Britain ceded to the peoples that they liberated.

If you're going to discuss the original topic, at least get your facts straight. You're so full of shit that your eyes are brown.
>>
>>1513322
Nah, Russia loves Nazism
They only hate Nazis because they were betrayed, and go full lizard brain revenge mode on them
They're just as shit as Nazis

>It was America and Britain who built all the planes, provided all the professional soldiers, and committed politically and materially to liberating Europe from the Nazis, not the Russians
The soviets also fought the harshest battles against the germans on the eastern front, tying up vast quantities of axis resources during one of the harshest winters in recorded memory. Stalingrad, Leningrad and Moscow are largely considered the bloodiest battles of WWII.
>>
>>1513338
Britain declared war on Germany September 1st, 1939, after Germany invaded Poland, France followed.
On 17 September 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east, 16 days after Nazi Germany invaded Poland from the west.
Why did Britain and France not declare war on the Soviet Union in September 1939?
>>
>>1513340
Soviets had a secret plan with Hitler which the allies didn’t know about (it was secret). To answer your question, probably because the Soviets preemptively invading Poland to prevent Nazis expanding east looked good for various reasons. Understand at this point Poland has been defeated outright
>>
>>1513340

I have a feeling you're going to tell me, so you might as well state your opinion plainly.
>>
>>1513338
>The Soviets also fought some of the harshest battles
To conquer and enslave people. Not to liberate anyone from the Nazis. They fought every single battle to conquer and enslave and are no better than the Nazis themselves. No exceptions. They didn't liberate Poland, they didn't liberate the Baltic States, they didn't liberate Lithuania or Belorussia or Azerbaijan, they fought to destroy liberty and self-determination for dozens of nations and ethnicities that they considered Russian clay and at no point did they ever fight a battle for the betterment of anyone but themselves. Even then, the state they produced off the backs of conquered peoples still failed and destroyed itself just a scant few decades later.

You don't get good boy points for being a conqueror, you colossal faggot.
>>
>>1513345
>To conquer and enslave people-
Stalingrad, Leningrad and Moscow were defensive wars. They were fending off monsters like Oskar Dirlewanger.
>they fought to destroy liberty and self-determination for dozens of nations
It's not a controversial political position to say that the soviets helped combat the axis powers. Your obsession with demonizing a long-dead regime is stupid.
>>
>>1513348
>Defensive wars happened
Yes, they tend to happen in a war exchange with a neighboring nation. They still fought in the war to conquer and enslave their neighbors and are no better than the Nazis themselves.

>Its not a controversial position... that the Soviets helped combat the Axis powers
To conquer and enslave their neighbors. For the express, written, acknowledged and understood purpose of enslaving other people. Just like the Nazis.

>A long-dead regime
Its not dead, it only died and collapsed once and then became a new regime, the Russian Federation, which is currently fighting a war to conquer and enslave its neighbors. Modern Russians are not any different from the Nazis either and deserve the same exact vilification and treatment, Pidor.
>>
>>1513349
Do you have an ethnic stake in obsessing about Russia or something? Because it's not sane to think the USSR sprung back to life after Gorbachev left office.

Two criminals named Greg and Robert decide to rob a bank.
Afterwards Greg decides they want the whole take for themselves, so they attack Robert and leave them to die.
The police find Robert, and patch him up in exchange for catching Greg.

Russians read that story and think Robert didn't rob the bank, and he was a policeman the whole time.

And it absolutely is sane to think that Modern Russia is engaging in the exact same behavior and follies as the snowniggers who fought in WW2 because all you have to do in order to confirm that is turn on your TV for five minutes and peruse the news, you mouthbreather. They are CURRENTLY engaging in a documented and live-filmed effort to eradicate and/or conquer a neighbor. Right now, as we speak. This is not a matter of conjecture, it is a thing that is happening as a matter of absolute fact and can be verified immediately with just the slightest bit of effort, so fuck off.

Stalin did nothing wrong.
The "Holodomor" is Western anti-communist propaganda.
Western capitalist agitators convinced the Ukrainian farmers to destroy their livestock and burn their crops so the farms could not be collectivized.

No it wasn’t a secret that the Soviets invaded Poland. I don’t know exactly why war wasn’t declared by the allies, my conjecture is that Poland was considered (rightly or wrongly) a defeated nation and that the Soviets taking the Eastern regions would prevent the Nazis from expanding into them. There’s also a domestic political aspect to it, you have to understand the Spanish Civil War was recent and there would’ve been opposition to war with the Soviets and probably a fifth column situation. There’s also the possibility that the Soviets would ally with the Nazis, or failing that a definite three way war.
I think saying they should’ve declared war on the Soviets out of principle or at least forced them to give Poland full liberty after the war is failing to take into account the realpolitik of the times.
There are current situations where similarly war is not joined when it could or should be for various reasons, and more examples from WW2 of countries aligning themselves with natural enemies and so on. This thread isn’t the place to go on about it and I’m happy Poland are independent now and hopefully they get nukes

Reminder that the Soviet Union started World War II alongside Nazi Germany by invading Poland and the Baltic states.
Reminder that there was a secret protocol within the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, signed just before the war began (August 1939), that enabled the Soviet Union to attack or occupy:
a) Half of Poland;
b) The Baltic coast;
c) Finland.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact#Secret_protocol
...in exchange for a promise of non-aggression. This was Stalin's attempt at recapturing the territories of the former Russian Empire, which Lenin had given up post-WWI.

The Soviet Union was one of the two countries that CAUSED the war; at the very least, it enabled Hitler to start the massacre in Eastern Europe. That eventually the madman decided to break the pact and turn his attention to Moscow was just some form of inevitable karmic retribution.
>>
>>1513313
The Soviet Union did nothing against Japan. And the reason why the Soviets died by the millions is that their startegy was to spam expendable, badly equipped cannon fodder at the enemy frontlines until their collapse.
It still is the go-to Russian strategy for land wars, by the way: just look at Ukraine.

They invaded Manchuria and had the Pacific war not ended when it did may have also invaded Japan. Some say that’s the main reason the Japanese surrendered to the Allies, so they weren’t invaded by the Soviets
>>

The Americans sat on their arses and watched the world burn for nearly two years. They only went to war against Japan when Japan attacked them, and they only went to war against Germany when Hitler declared war on the US.

>>1513430
I'm not doing Hitler apologia. I'm saying the USSR enabled Nazi Germany to start the war and only joined the Allies for opportunistic motives, which is why it turned hostile immediately after the war.
