DISINFO: The West wants to rewrite the history of WWII

SUMMARY

[…] when the USSR was gone, someone (the West) suddenly thought that the time had come to rewrite the history of WWII and withdraw the Soviet Union from the ranks of the winners.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the West rewriting history.

Examples of similar disinformation narratives include Poland lies about WW2 to weaken Russia's position or Revision of the WW2 history is the state position of Warsaw.

Those narratives appear in the context of the approaching 75th anniversary since the end of WW2.

The Western historians acknowledge the role played by the USSR in defeating Nazism and do not question the Soviet contribution to the victory in WWII and the status of the USSR as a country which had won in WWII.
