He defended Molotov-Ribbentrop on 60th anniversary of Victory in Europe in WWII. ==
Defended on 60th anniversary?:)) It is distortion Sergey.
Can you read russian? If yes then find Putin speeches and see first hand.
He is not defend it. He just said that it was such times and someone who seek "special" appologies from someone has better first hand look on itself.
Poland also did its share of wrongs when it took Czech lands in 1938. But it did not massacred Czech officers or other citizens. See the difference ?
If Russia is not Soviet Union, why Putin does not want to acknowledge the Soviet Crimes and tries to whitewash it ? He does when he tries to avoid mentioning Molotov-Ribbentrop altogether. So RusIvan, maybe it's time you stop playing Putin defence and start comparing the facts yourself.
