MOSCOW, May 6 (Sputnik) - Russia has been waging a fierce diplomatic war for the historical truth for a long time, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday.
"We have been waging a fierce diplomatic war for historical truth for a long time and at all levels. It is part of a comprehensive effort to defend the achievements of our Victory," Zakharova said at a briefing.
Russia will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War on May 9 with a military parade in Moscow's Red Square. The commemorative events will be attended by leaders who represent the global majority, Zakharova said.
"Following the tradition, hundreds of millions of spectators all over the world will see and hear Moscow, the speech of our president [Vladimir Putin]. And this is the best argument against any unfair allegations that modern Russia, as some write or say, monopolizes the Victory. Peoples of the Soviet Union won together. No one will be able to downplay your heroism or divide it into several victories," she said.
It was the Soviet union who bore the greatest burden of the war, and the Third Reich’s war machine was destroyed on the Eastern Front, Zakharova added.
The Russian authorities have repeatedly said that the West has been trying to rewrite history and the outcome of World War Two to reflect its new ideology. Russian President Putin has said that Russia must make sure that the truth about the Great Patriotic War is preserved.
