DISINFO: The European Parliament and OSCE promote false history
SUMMARY
By the false history, I understand something that is widely distributed, among others, by the European Parliament in Strasbourg and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The Western reaction to the article of Putin has been furious, outraged and simply funny.
RESPONSE
This message is part of the Kremlin’s policy of historical revisionism. It accuses the EU and particular EU members such as the Baltic states and Poland of the “falsification and re-writing” of WWII history. Any disagreement with the official Kremlin’s view on the history of WWII is automatically labelled by Russia as support for “Nazism” or “falcification of history”. The European Parliament resolution on the importance of European remembrance for the future of Europe stressed the fact that WWII was an immediate result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The resolution is aimed at the promotion of historical remembrance about WWII and condemnation of totalitarian ideologies. It is a proven fact that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact contained the Secret Supplementary Protocol, which assumed the division of Poland and other Eastern European countries between the USSR and Germany. Thus, the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact enabled the German and Soviet military aggression against Poland in September 1939, which resulted in the occupation of this country by Germany and USSR, triggering the beginning of WWII. This article contained another disinformation message about the USA and NATO carrying out a propaganda war around WWII history in order to defame and isolate Russia and President Putin. See other examples of this message: “Fake history” became a norm in the Western World, Western countries revise WWII history to evade responsibility for allowing Hitler to gather strength for the attack on the USSR and The European Parliament resolution on the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is aimed at the demonisation of Russia.
