Celebrations in Moscow "Sometimes one does not have the heart to
recount all those shameless conclusions, so-called insight, which
have nothing to do with the truth," the Russian leader said at a
meeting of the organizing committee of the celebration of the 70th
anniversary of the Victory Day.
The goal of attempts to rewrite history are designed "to undermine
the power and moral authority of modern Russia, deprive of its
status of the country-winner [of World War II] with all the expected
international legal consequences, as well as to divide and put nations
at loggerheads and to use historical speculation in geopolitical
games," he said.

in Victory Parade on Red Square In January, the Russian president
said that attempts to rewrite history were often driven by a desire
to hide shame and complicity with the Nazis.
Early January Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk amazed
the world with an announcement that the USSR invaded Ukraine and
Germany during WWII, not taking into account the fact that prior to
the Second World War, most of Ukraine, including Kiev, was part of
the Soviet Union.
Moscow sent invitations to a number of world leaders to attend the
Victory Parade commemorating the 70th anniversary of Nazi Germany
surrender, and marking the end of World War II.
More than 30 country leaders confirmed their participation in
Moscow's Victory Day parade on May 9, however, European Council
President Donald Tusk, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British
Prime Minister David Cameron declined Moscow's invitation to attend
Victory Day. The move reflects recent tensions between the West and
Russia amid the accusations of Moscow's alleged involvement in the
Ukrainian internal affairs.
