DISINFO: There was no Soviet occupation in Europe
SUMMARY
Europe is shouting that it was under the tyranny of the Soviet Union, that the Soviet Union ruled there. But Europe had its own local governments, local intelligence, even its army. It’s Americans who still rule in Europe, and have their bases all around.
RESPONSE
This message is part of the Kremlin’s policy of historical revisionism. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative on WWII and the West. It's also a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the US presence in Europe, portraying Europe as a vassal of the USA and trying to undermine the sovereignty of European countries.
