DISINFO: EU fiercely rewrites the history of WWII
SUMMARY
For several years now, the history of World War II has been fiercely rewritten in the European Union. European countries destroy the memory of the heroic actions of Russian soldiers.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the WW2. The European Parliament called the war as the bloodiest tragedy of the century, which resulted in millions of victims of authoritarian regimes of fascist Germany and the USSR. The European Parliament has also expressed concern about the efforts of the current Russian leadership to whitewash the crimes committed by the Soviet totalitarian regime, and see them as a dangerous component of the information war against democratic Europe.
