- The Russian Security Council accused Scholz of desecrating the memory of the peoples of the USSR and distorting the truth about the war
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in a strikingly hypocritical manner, is desecrating the memory of Soviet people and distorting the truth by glossing over the price paid by the USSR for liberating the world from Hitler and his collaborators during World War II. Alexander Venediktov, deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council (SB), said in a statement on January 30.
"A German politician made public comments about the fact that the United States liberated Germany from fascism and helped it become a democracy. Consciously glossing over the price paid by the Soviet Union for liberating the world from Hitler's collaborators, the chancellor not only desecrates the memory of millions of Soviet people of various nationalities who fell in the fight against fascism, but also grossly distorts the truth," the department's press service quoted him as saying.
The deputy secretary emphasized that ignorance of the history of their own country, which is demonstrated by the German leadership, offends, among other things, the German people. Although the entire population there remembers who actually brought them freedom and independence, Venediktov noted.
"For our part, we are ready to send Mr. Scholz archival data and newsreels of the war years. They record in the most detailed manner all those facts, which the West has recently deliberately not remembered or pretends to have forgotten," the representative of the Russian Security Council emphasized.
Earlier on January 30, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied Scholz's words that the United States is the liberators of Germany from Nazism. He noted that in the FRG there is a purposeful line on forgetting the historical truth and who exactly paid the heaviest price for the liberation of the European continent from the brown plague.
On January 29, Scholz called the United States the liberators of Germany from Nazism and thanked the Americans for their help in establishing democracy in the country. He specified that because of this fact he is angry about the support of American businessman and politician Ilon Musk for right-wing politicians in Germany.
Earlier, on January 25, Musk, speaking at a campaign event of the party "Alternative for Germany" (AdG), said that the leadership of the Federal Republic of Germany practiced totalitarianism, limiting the freedom of speech of citizens. The billionaire said that Germans should be proud of their nation and stop feeling guilty about the country's past.
On January 28, Scholz criticized Musk's statement in an interview with the American TV channel CNN, noting that Germany has always borne and will continue to bear responsibility for the deeds of the German Nazis, and this applies both to citizens whose grandparents lived in this country in the past and migrants.
