A Ukrainian historian explains to a Russian that World War II was started by two countries: the USSR and the Third Reich. The only difference between them is that the USSR invented excuses about "liberation", while the Nazis honestly declared occupation.

During the parade in Moscow on May 9th, Russia will celebrate a slightly different victory than Europe - it will celebrate victory in the Great Patriotic War. This is an important distinction, so I thought I'd explain this further. Russia's collective memory separates World War II and the Great Patriotic War (as Soviet, then Russian historians have called it). The Great Patriotic War (GPW) began on 22nd June, 1941 and ended on 9th May, 1945. Russia calls this war "sacred" and draws many of its current narratives from it. Russians are firmly convinced it was solely the USSR that won the war and that only the USSR suffered (or at least suffered the most) in WWII. The "GPW" was a tragedy of an enormous scale to the USSR - it lost 24-27 million of its population, a large part of the country was in ruins, the economy was devastated. A lot of it was actually due to USSR leaders not caring about losses and people's suffering. As we now know, the USSR would not have achieved military advantage and would suffer even more without the help of the Allied powers and the lend-lease program from the United States, although Russia conveniently omits that in its victory day hysterics. Putin has built a Victory cult in Russia during his reign. Some experts call it "victory delirium" (this is a loose translation). Victory has become a cornerstone of the Russian propaganda and a fetish in and of itself. Putin used that rhetoric to justify the Russian invasion into Ukraine - he says Russia is fighting against "Nazis" again, this time in Ukraine. When Russians talk about the war, their motto is "We can repeat that!" - meaning that Russian soldiers can once more march through Europe. You've probably heard Russian propagandist Solovyev's claims to "remain in Berlin this time". This is a true cult of war that militarizes children (see videos attached to this post), omits inconvenient truths and feeds the state propaganda machine. During that parade, Russians will not mourn the millions of victims of the war. They will not strive for peace - they will glorify the "Russian military might" and threaten other countries with missile and nuclear strikes. Russia has perverted a day of remembrance, mourning and reflection into a filthy instrument of state propaganda. 📹: Russian children in Voronezh and Dagestan
