File photoMOSCOW, Oct 27The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, commenting on statements from Warsaw that the USSR did not liberate Poland from the Nazis, called it a monstrous lie and an attempt to fool the younger generation of Poles. «The first is a lie, a monstrous lie, because there are a lot of citizens of the Soviet Union then died, citizens of the Russian Federation, other republics that were then part of the Soviet Union, died liberating Poland.Therefore, this is a monstrous lie.Another attempt to continue to fool the younger generation of Poles and raise them, feed them, feeding them with this lie and provoking hatred for Russians,” Peskov said, answering a question about how the Kremlin treats statements from Warsaw that the Soviet Union did not bring freedom to Poland in 1945. jpg» />Plans to revive «Great Poland» through a war with the USSR have been declassified. He expressed the hope that history will show the incorrectness of this. «But it is probably impossible to treat it differently,» Peskov added. In recent years, hundreds of monuments to those who died for liberation of the country to the Red Army. In the summer of 2017, Polish President Andrzej Duda signed amendments to the law banning propaganda of communism or another totalitarian system in the names of buildings, objects and premises for public use. The law provides, among other things, the demolition of Soviet monuments. According to the estimates of the Institute of National Memory of Poland, which is responsible for memorial work, the law on decommunization will affect about 230 monuments of the Red Army. At the same time, according to the law, decommunization will not affect burial places. The Russian authorities have repeatedly stated that some European countries are trying to rewrite history. Russian President Vladimir Putin said in mid-December 2019 that they, in particular Poland, entered into an agreement with Nazi Germany, Russia has documents at its disposal, how they negotiated. According to Russian politicians, Europe is not ready to recognize this part of its history. And Putin said that the Russian Federation is obliged to ensure the preservation of the truth about the Great Patriotic War and resist attempts to falsify its history. During the liberation of Poland from Nazism in 1944-1945, the Red Army lost more than 600 thousand people dead. The Soviet military provided enormous assistance in the post-war reconstruction of Poland. In Warsaw alone, tens of thousands of mines were cleared, bridges and roads were restored. Food, coal, kerosene were donated to the population. At the same time, the Soviet military did not interfere in the internal way of life of the Poles.
