🎦 President of Russia Vladimir Putin held, via videoconference, a meeting of the Russian Pobeda (Victory) Organising Committee (November 15, 2022).
💬 President Putin: Distortion of history, imposition of myths and the undermining of values – it is often with these myths that destabilising states and nations begins.
As we can see, a similar scenario has been tested in some other countries, including Ukraine. There have been attempts to target Russia as well but, as I have said before, we took resolute and timely measures to protect our interests and stave off similar sabotage.
There are many attempts to falsify history. Of course, this is done
👉 to create a certain atmosphere in today’s politics and to build these false messages;
👉 to distribute interests for the future in the needed way;
👉 to cover up not only what was done jointly with the Nazis in order to hide their participation in these crimes;
👉 to create conditions for new aggressive actions, including those against our country.
❗️Those who collaborated with the Nazis out of fear, out of cowardice also have an ambitious task: to cover up this betrayal of the interests of their peoples with pseudo-nationalist interests – this is typical of today's people from that same Ukraine. All these events fit very well within the #BanderaProcess.
Nobody wants to consider themselves a coward, nobody wants to be thought of as a coward. But to cover up their betrayal – cooperation with the Nazis for pseudo-national interests – this is a very good cover for such behaviour, for covering up their betrayal. I think the origins of the Bandera process are mainly based on this.
It is certainly important to bring these attempts to light, to expose the truth, which may be good or bad, but most importantly objective. And, once again, see it for ourselves and make sure we have it sorted out completely, and leave this truth for future generations.
