Attempts
to rewrite and falsify the history of World War II are aimed
at undermining the authority and power of modern Russia, Russian

The 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.

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

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.
