2021-06-22 11:02:46 Article by Vladimir Putin ”Being Open, Despite the Past“, published in the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit and timed to coincide with the 80th Anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.

We are proud of the courage and steadfastness of the heroes of the Red Army and home front workers who not only defended the independence and dignity of our homeland, but also saved Europe and the world from enslavement. Despite attempts to rewrite the pages of the past that are being made today, the truth is that Soviet soldiers came to Germany not to take revenge on the Germans, but with a noble and great mission of liberation. We hold sacred the memory of the heroes who fought against Nazism. We remember with gratitude our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition, participants in the Resistance movement, and German anti-fascists who brought our common victory closer. Open / Comment

2021-06-22 09:33:55 This year, on June 22, we have a tragic memorable date - 80 years since the beginning of the Great Patriot War. It is important to preserve the historical memory of such events and pass on knowledge about them from generation to generation so that they never repeat themselves.

On the Day of Remembrance and Mourning, millions of candles will be lit throughout Russia and beyond its borders and commemorative installations in honor of the fallen heroes will be created.
