“An article by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the eve of the anniversary Victory Parade, addressed to all peoples and countries, sounded like a call for dialogue, maintaining peace and harmony. Our state, represented by the national leader, once again demonstrates wisdom, peacefulness and the desire to preserve historical memory for posterity so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past. Only a responsible and strong politician, a true patriot, is able to so deeply and at the same time subtly draw a connecting line between the heroic past of the people and the present, revealing the role of Russia in world history. ” This was stated by a member of the State Duma Committee on Foreign Affairs Sergey Zheleznyak.
According to the politician: “The article of the head of our state published in the American journal will serve as a very important lesson for citizens in other countries. For many, the documentary facts cited in the material will be a revelation. By his address, the Russian president defended the historical truth before those who are trying to rewrite the pages of the twentieth century, defame the Russian people, and deprive our young generation of pride in their country.
Vladimir Putin showed citizens of other countries that Russia, open to dialogue, does not accept the language of aggression, respects the sovereignty of others, will never allow us to dictate other people’s rules of the game and will uphold historical truth on all world platforms.
I am sure that Putin’s article on the eve of the meeting of the five nuclear powers will become a subject of serious analysis for leaders of other countries and may make them think about the policies that they are pursuing now, often without relying on their own history.
Only by carefully preserving the truth about the past can we confidently build a future in which the best traditions of the nation and the experience of our ancestors will be used and augmented by the new generation for the country’s sustainable development and strengthening global stability. Perhaps this is one of the key meanings of our president’s appeal to the world. ”
