Do they even mention “The Winter War” against Finland?
No mere textbook could hope to “tell the full story” of Russian involvement in WW2. I can’t even imagine how one would tell the story without 5-6 simultaneous story lines going on.
If liberals had their way, all mentions that slavery was supported by DemocRats and that socialism has killed over 70 million people would be erased.
When has the search for truth ever mattered in Russia?
Victors get to write the history for their people I suppose.
I know the Germans are still ashamed of their history today, as they should be. And America is ashamed of some of our history concerning slavery (for example). So be it. I think Japan is pretty weird about their history.
I’m encouraged that teachers in Russia are allowed to even question this openly.
This is something I can’t get too outraged about - pretty much every country tells their version of history. Besides, we got our plate full with what the left is doing to our own history books.
Notice, for those of you who watched the Olympics that the Russians never listed the names of medal winners just “Russian Team Member” with no name?
I wonder if Russian history mentions that the Soviets invaded Poland in cooperation with the Germans?

The Soviets (Russians) paid an unbelievable price for their alliance with the Nazis. It seems like spitting on the dead to freak out over it now.
You have to admit, this is pretty cool.
Victory Day : “Immortal Regiment” march

Marching with pictures of relatives who fought during the War. Very cool.
The Russians used WW1 tactics against the Germans and managed to kill 20 million of their own people.
If it wasn’t for Lend Lease from the USA, the Russians would have lost many more killed and may even have been defeated by the Germans.
What’s hilarious here is they do the same thing in the US. Not sure what the author’s point is. Have they checked out the manure that Pearson is peddling these days?
History is written not by the winners, but by the current winners.
Why worry about Russian history books? Ours aren’t any good either.
Talking about denying or ignoring one’s history. Read a Japanese text book history of their involvement in WWII.
