DnD Central / Re: Putin the Magnificent: Series 2 - Putin's Russia
Last post by ersi -“On September 17, 1939, the Red Army launched a military operation in Poland’s eastern regions, preventing the genocide of the population of Western Belarus and Western Ukraine,” Russia’s foreign ministry wrote on X.Debates over WWII are not over. Westerners should not think that they have it sorted out or that it can/should be forgotten because it was a very long time ago. As I have explained the mid-European point of view (i.e. the point of view of most countries between Germany and Russia), the Yalta Conference and the Potsdam Conference updated the Nazi-Soviet Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact for the worse, not for the better, and this fact is still going unrecognised in the West.
Germany’s foreign ministry replied to Russia’s post Thursday with a single word: “Seriously?”
It [Germany] also posted a map of Poland, signed by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and Nazi Germany’s Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, showing how the country would be divided between them, with the hashtags “#MolotovRibbentropPact” and “#HitlerStalinPact.”
