True, but both can do a lot of damage before we get rid of them.

Nikolay Patrushev have signed an article “Protection of historical memory is the foundation of Russian statehood”

His inferiority complex is clearly visible in the article and it suggests that Russia will become a more repressive country that will rewrite history again::

Artificially imposing on humanity for centuries the image of an “ignorant and despotic” Russia as opposed to a supposedly “enlightened and democratic” Europe, they hid the truth from their peoples and descendants. For example, about the officers and generals of the Russian Imperial Army who defeated the troops of Napoleonic France, whose manners, knowledge of European languages, erudition and education literally conquered Paris.

In their zeal in discrediting Russia, European chroniclers of the Middle Ages differed little from the propagandists of the 17th-20th centuries and from modern foreign pseudo-historians. Thus, in 1549, “Notes on Muscovy” by Sigismund Herberstein was published in Vienna, which was reprinted twenty-two times during the second half of the 16th century. In it, Russian rulers appeared as a collection of all human vices: they are cunning, hypocritical, treacherous, warlike, always looking for a reason to attack their neighbors, and merciless towards the vanquished. They are cruel oppressors towards their subjects. “All of them [subjects] call themselves slaves... i.e. slaves of the sovereign... These people find more pleasure in slavery than in freedom,” the author assured. The arrogant, disdainful and derogatory words of a foreigner addressed to the Moscow state have been the leitmotif of European policy towards Russia for several centuries.

It has become obvious that the denazification of Europe, which was agreed upon by the leaders of the Allied powers at the Yalta Conference in 1945, has not yet been completed by the West. At the instigation of the USA and England, Nazism has been revived and is again being used against our country.

The peoples of Russia today are once again liberating the long-suffering population of Ukraine from Western occupation. Russian - for the most part. It is difficult to find a Ukrainian who does not have Russian roots. But the puppet Kiev regime, at the behest of its Western masters, suppresses family ties and forces people who speak and think in Russian, who were brought up on Russian history and literature, as well as Russian traditions, to go to slaughter.

It is with regret that we have to admit that in Russia there is a small pool of active and assertive authors whose “research” and publications are openly hostile. The President of the Russian Federation V.V. spoke very precisely about this trend. Putin, calling attempts to falsify Russian history “increasingly tough, evil and aggressive.”

It is significant that false interpretations and assessments of specific historical events are enshrined at the political level, including in legal acts. There are many examples: laws on Holodomor - genocide in Ukraine, resolutions of the European Parliament, which equally blame Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union for the outbreak of World War II. In the processed consciousness of millions of ordinary people in post-Soviet and post-socialist countries, the soldiers of the Red Army - the liberating army - have already become criminals and occupiers.

History has long ceased to be just a science of bygone times. Attempts to rewrite history are in some ways more dangerous than a military threat. Distorted, false, destroyed historical memory, an artificially created negative image of the past and present deprive states and their peoples of the opportunity to form a national idea of ​​future development, around which the consolidation of society takes place. That is why we are obliged to ensure comprehensive protection of historical memory as an integral part of the value foundation of our Motherland - Russia.
