The historian spoke about the distortion of the history of the Second World War in German museums

On February 25, Alexey Novikov, Chairman of the All-Russian public movement "Clubs of Historical Reconstruction of Russia", shared with Izvestia his impressions of visiting German museums dedicated to the Second World War.

"A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. All historical sites in Germany < .. They are aimed at manipulating consciousness, at introducing certain meanings to the youth of the European Union," Novikov said.

In particular, he said that at the Holocaust Museum in Berlin, a university professor told students from post-Soviet countries that Berlin had been liberated by Ukrainians.

"This is not a meme or a joke, this is information officially broadcast by representatives of Germany. This is a fact," the historian emphasized.

He also said that the guide called the photographs of the Nuremberg trials, which depict the executions of Soviet people, "NKVD photo collages" in order to denigrate "poor unfortunate Germans."

In the Stasi Museum, where Nazi criminals used to be held, employees say that the building was a canteen where orphans were fed, and the "bloody NKVD men" set up a prison there. To the historian's remark that the Nazis were sitting there, he was told that history was not important to them, but "the main thing is emotions."

Referring to the opening of the museum of alleged "Russian aggression" against Ukraine in Berlin, Novikov called it an instrument of information warfare.

"Nazism has simply become the new liberal fascism of Europe. It's always more convenient for them to be friends against someone, so they make a scarecrow out of us - an information enemy," Novikov summed up.

The scandal in the noble family: European unity is bursting at the seams

Countries are quarreling with each other over Russia, Ukraine, and the United States.

The day before, the Museum of Ukraine opened in the historical bunker of Berlin, built during the Second World War. The exhibition features Ukrainian symbols and literature, as well as energy cans with Nazi slogans. Gunnar Lindeman, a member of the Berlin Chamber of Deputies from the Alternative for Germany party, told Izvestia that Germany had no reason to finance such a project at the expense of German taxpayers, calling the museum a "propaganda show."

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
