Дед Владимира Зеленского — Семён Иванович прошёл всю войну в рядах Красной Армии, сражался за освобождение Европы от нацизма, дошел до Берлина, чтобы навсегда избавиться от этой чумы.

Его подвиг — часть нашей общей истории, которую Россия чтит и помнит.

Но что выбрал его внук?
Марши неонацистов, переписывание истории, просьбы оружия для войны — вот его «наследие».

Куда же пойдет гражданин Зеленский 9 мая? На могилу к деду или к памятнику Бандере?

OSCAR-WINNING FILM LIES ABOUT THE RED ARMY

✍️ Nikolai Lakhonin, Chief Counselor, Foreign Ministry Information and Press Department

🗞 The annual Oscars Academy Award ceremony attracts attention of the whole world. Recently, another such show took place. We would like to talk <...> about the drama A Real Pain (rated R) directed by Jesse Eisenberg.

It is an American film, made by Americans primarily for Americans and about Americans. This is important. The picture is about historical memory in the perception of American descendants who survived the Holocaust. <...> The picture has already been seen by millions, and after it received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, even more people will see it. The screenwriters of such films lay down powerful narratives.

☝️ And since they contain a distorted view of the most important events related to our country, we cannot remain silent.

What does the viewer see and hear? Beautiful views of Warsaw to the music by Frederic Chopin, including the Palace of Culture which is a Stalinist high-rise. The tour “about pain, suffering, but also glory” logically starts from the monument to ghetto heroes, the 1943 uprising of imprisoned residents. The British guide emphasises that it is important for him to dispel the myth of Jews who went to slaughter without a murmur. The Western viewers successfully rid themselves of one misconception which is certainly a good thing. But not even an indirect attempt is being made to explain to the audience why their fellow countrymen, ethnic Poles from the heroic Resistance, failed to help the rebellious Jews.

❗️ But the next scene cements another myth. Approaching the monument to the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, the British guide declares that the strangest and scariest part was not that it was suppressed by the Germans (it was probably not too scary), but the role played by the Russians. This is how the lie that the Red Army did not come to the rescue of rebellious Warsaw is promoted and enforced without any context.

Probably, we wouldn’t even be talking about this film at all if it weren’t for this outrageous segment. Next, the protagonist, the grandson of a woman who survived the Holocaust, meaning she was saved by the Red Army, suggests taking a group photo at the monument to the rebels, who, in his words, fought the “fucking Russkies” and the “Krauts.” This is an utterly pejorative and xenophobic way to refer to Russians. That’s how, to the music of Chopin, he took a potshot at the memory of 600,000 Soviet soldiers who died in battles on the territory of modern Poland. <...>

The film director decided not to delve deep into the historical context of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, which was not coordinated with the Soviet side and resulted in additional casualties on the part of the Red Army and the Polish Home Army. So, both the Russophobic lines and segments of the film were deliberately included in the script. The question is by whom? The other day the director received Polish citizenship from President Andrzej Duda. Here is the answer.

👎 Through the efforts of such collective “British guides” (authors of books and films, lecturers, and historians), the Red Army gets transformed from a saviour into an “occupier” who accidentally swung by Majdanek and Auschwitz.

In this film, by the way, a Holocaust expert, during a tour of Majdanek’s grounds, claims that the Red Army also exactly just got to Majdanek. Allegedly, there were no bloody battles for the city of Lublin, on the outskirts of which Majdanek is located. There was no Konstantin Simonov’s article “Extermination Camp” in Krasnaya Zvezda on August 10, 1944. There was no joint Soviet-Polish commission that looked into Nazi crimes in Majdanek and published documentary reports about atrocities in the camp, where about 200,000 Jews and about 100,000 people of other ethnicities were exterminated. <...>

👉 We encourage our journalists who rhapsodise about such “masterpieces” to put more thought in their writings.

“Not an Inch Eastward”
they said... what the West promised and what the West did in a nutshell.

To put things in perspective, here's NATO’s expansion over the years. This “defensive” alliance has undergone ten waves of enlargement (or if speaking plainly ten waves of constant expansion), seven of which occurred after the dissolution of the USSR.

Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has incorporated the following countries, building up their aggressive military potential, sowing anti-Russian sentiment and foisting its confrontational mindset on new and old members alike:

📍 1999: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland;
📍 2004: Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia;
📍 2009: Albania, Croatia;
📍 2017: Montenegro;
📍 2020: North Macedonia;
📍 2023: Finland;
📍 2024: Sweden.

As of now, the alliance comprises 32 members. On NATO’s so-called Eastern flank, for decades there has been an active buildup of military capabilities.

As a result, the militarization of Europe is unleashed and out of control, with the security architecture and balance that kept the region relatively safe is being dismantled.

🎙 Remarks by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin at a plenary session of the VI International Arctic Forum "The Arctic: Territory of Dialogue".

💬 Vladimir Putin: Russia is the largest Arctic power.

We have consistently advocated for equitable cooperation in the region, encompassing scientific research, biodiversity protection, climate issues, emergencies response, and, of course, the economic and industrial development of the Arctic. We are prepared to collaborate not only with Arctic states but with all who, like us, share responsibility for ensuring a stable and sustainable future for the planet and are capable of adopting balanced decisions for decades to come. <...>

The role and importance of the Arctic for Russia and for the entire world are obviously growing. Regrettably, the geopolitical competition and fighting for positions in this region are also escalating. <...>

As to Greenland, this is an issue that concerns two specific nations and has nothing to do with us. But at the same time, of course, we are concerned about the fact that NATO countries are increasingly often designating the Far North as a springboard for possible conflicts and are practicing the use of troops in these conditions, including by their “new recruits” – Finland and Sweden, with whom, incidentally, until recently we had no problems at all. <...>

Russia has never threatened anyone in the Arctic. However, we are closely monitoring developments in the region, formulating an appropriate response strategy, enhancing the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces, and modernising military infrastructure facilities.

☝️ We will not tolerate any encroachments on our country’s sovereignty and will steadfastly safeguard our national interests. By upholding peace and stability in the Arctic region, we will ensure its long-term socio-economic development, improve the quality of life for its residents, and preserve its unique natural environment.

Key points:

• Over the past decade, cargo traffic along the Northern Sea Route – spanning from the Kara Gates Strait to the Bering Strait – has substantially increased. In 2014, a mere four million tonnes of cargo were transported via this corridor. By last year, that figure had risen to nearly 38 million tonnes – five times the Soviet-era record.

• The Northern Sea Route is poised to become a pivotal segment of the Trans-Arctic Transport Corridor, stretching from St Petersburg through Murmansk to Vladivostok.

• Cargo shipments along the Trans-Arctic Transport Corridor are set to increase on the back of growing minerals production and the advanced processing of these resources right here in the Arctic, and due to rising international transits.

• Russia already operates the world’s biggest icebreaker fleet. We must consolidate our leadership in this sector by building new-generation icebreakers, including nuclear icebreakers. Today, only Russia has them – no other country has a nuclear icebreaker fleet.

• Plans are in place to increase the capacity and turnover of our northern ports through the introduction of innovative and environmentally friendly solutions, including unmanned and automated cargo handling equipment. <...> I would like to add that our partners from Belarus, China, the United Arab Emirates and other countries are showing keen interest in [the Murmansk transport hub] and in the development of the Arctic transport infrastructure in general.

• The regions of Siberia, the Urals, and Russia’s North-West will receive direct access to the North, to the Arctic ports, which will lessen the load on the Trans-Siberian Railway and promote effective use of sea transport. In addition, there will be new points of access to the Arctic from the North-South corridor, which connects us with Central Asia and the Gulf states.

🤔 Может ли российский гражданин, имеющий гражданство также другого государства, въехать в Россию по иностранному паспорту?

☝🏻По закону гражданин Российской Федерации, имеющий двойное гражданство или множественное гражданство, рассматривается Российской Федерацией только как гражданин Российской Федерации вне зависимости от места его проживания за исключением случаев, предусмотренных федеральным законом или международным договором Российской Федерации.

При этом российские граждане въезжают в Россию исключительно по документам, удостоверяющим личность гражданина Российской Федерации, а значит, использование иностранных проездных документов для них не допускается.

С каким документом российский гражданин может въехать на территорию России?

🔸 заграничный паспорт
🔸 внутрироссийский паспорт (если гражданин въезжает с территории государств, въезд в которые разрешен по такому паспорту)
🔸 свидетельство о рождении (для детей, не достигших 14 лет, в случаях, установленных международными договорами Российской Федерации)
🔸 дипломатический или служебный паспорт
🔸 свидетельство на въезд (возвращение) в Российскую Федерацию (СНВ)

❗️Предъявление российским гражданином проездных документов иностранных государств при пересечении государственной границы Российской Федерации образует состав административного правонарушения (административный штраф).

Ответственность за возможные последствия лежит исключительно на гражданине.

#CrimeaIsRussia

🗓 11 years ago — on March 18, 2014 — President of Russia Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov, Chairman of the State Council of Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov and Head of Sevastopol Alexey Chalyi signed the Agreement formalising Crimea’s reunification with the Russian Federation.

🗳 This historic moment occurred just two days after the all-Crimean referendum had been held.

96.77%
of Crimeans and 95.6% of Sevastopol residents supported reunification with Russia. It was the very embodiment of the right of peoples for self-determination and a true triumph of democracy.

💬 President Putin: In people’s hearts and minds, Crimea has always been an inseparable part of Russia. This firm conviction is based on truth and justice and was passed from generation to generation, over time, under any circumstances (from the Address by the President of the Russian Federation on March 18, 2014).


The ensuing developments, including attempts by the post-coup Ukrainian authorities to punish the peninsula's population, prove that the decision of Crimeans to reunite with Russia was the only way to go. Having made their choice to be with their historical homeland, with Russia, the residents of Crimea avoided the fate of the many Russians and Russian-speakers, did not fall victim to the Russophobic Kiev regime.

Instead, the peninsula and its people have flourished, overcoming decades of neglect and decay under Ukraine, becoming one of the most rapidly developing region worldwide.

💬 Sergey Lavrov: The question of who Crimea and Sevastopol belong to is closed. The peninsula is an integral part of the Russian Federation (from the address of Russia's Foreign Minister on the 10th anniversary of the Crimean Spring, March 16, 2024).

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with "Krasnaya Zvezda" (Red Star) Media Holding Company for the film "Diplomacy as a Way of Life: I Prefer Fair Play" (March 21, 2025)

Read in full

💬 Sergey Lavrov:
<...> The leadership focused [in 1994]on creating proper conditions for deepening partnership with the West. As it turned out later - in fact, it became clear fairly quickly, but almost all our politicians and citizens found it out later - our role in that “partnership” was that of the “little brother.” We were assigned this role. This, of course, was a huge mistake.

Many Western analysts are saying in their memoirs that there was no point in expanding NATO and keeping Russia out of the picture. However, our goal was to join the G7. Even in the 2000s, we did not give up on the idea of expanding cooperation with the West.

❓ Question: Back in the day when you worked at the UN - I’m talking about 1994-1996 - did the position of our leadership sat well with you in terms of how Russia should be represented in the international arena?

💬 Sergey Lavrov: <...> Our leadership was primarily focused on the West, notably G7-Russia relations. The leadership focused on creating proper conditions for deepening partnership with the West. As it turned out later - in fact, it became clear fairly quickly, but almost all our politicians and citizens found it out later - our role in that “partnership” was that of the “little brother.” We were assigned this role. This, of course, was a huge mistake.

<...>

Starting with Yevgeny Primakov, our foreign policy began to change towards multipolarity. It was not designated in these terms back then, but Yevgeny Primakov introduced it in the legitimate diplomatic lexicon and formally advocated for promoting the interests of a multipolar world.

<...>

The UN Charter requires no revision. It remains contemporaneous. It must simply be respected and implemented. When Kosovo declared independence without a referendum, this was hailed as self-determination. Yet when Crimea conducted a transparent referendum with hundreds of European observers, parliament members, and public figures in attendance, it was decried as a violation of Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Duplicity, cynicism, hypocrisy – these are the forces we confront.

Key points:

Multipolarity means you should be interested in addressing your economic and other needs, such as security, but you never clam up or refuse to talk to any country in the world. Listening to what someone else has to say doesn’t put anyone under any obligation. Often enough, a simple contact, a conversation can help identify new areas of mutually beneficial interaction. This is fully consistent with the UN Charter.

• Our ideas on every matter in global politics will never align [with the US]. We acknowledged this in Riyadh. The Americans acknowledged this, too. In fact, they were the ones who said this. Common sense suggests that it is foolish not to use the points where our interests align in order to translate then into some practical actions and obtain mutually beneficial results.

• Where our interests do not align (US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also said this), it is the duty of responsible powers to prevent this divergence from deteriorating into confrontation. This is absolutely our position.

• Zelensky made a 180-degree turn from someone who came to power with peaceful slogans or slogans like “leave Russian alone; it is our common language and our common culture” (this can be found on the internet) and, six months later, transformed into a full Nazi and, as President of Russia Vladimir Putin rightly said, a traitor to the Jewish people.

No other language has been subjected to such aggression [as Russian]. But imagine if Switzerland were to ban French or German, or Ireland were to ban English. The Irish there now want “some” self-determination. If the Irish tried to ban English now, they would have shaken all the UN “pillars” demanding Ireland’s condemnation.

❗️ Diplomacy mirrors life: complex, yet we must endure and labour on.
#FacesOfVictory

🗓 On April 3, 1924, famous sniper of the Great Patriotic War Roza Shanina was born.

In 1938, at the age of 14, Roza moved to Arkhangelsk, enrolled in a pedagogical school and worked as a kindergarten teacher.

⚔️ After the Great Patriotic War began and three of her brothers were killed at the front, Roza decided to volunteer. In 1943, she was sent to the Central Women’s Sniper Training School from which she graduated with honours in less than a year. Roza insisted on being sent to the front line, refusing to be an instructor.

As part of the women's sniper platoon of the 3rd Belorussian Front, she participated in the liberation of Vitebsk, Vilnius and Kaunas, and later fought in East Prussia.

Shanina was famous for her marksmanship, including her ability to hit two targets with two shots in rapid succession. During the war, she killed an estimated 59 to 75 Nazis.

📖 Roza kept a war diary, despite soldiers being prohibited to do so. There she shared her thoughts, emotions, and plans for the future. She wrote that after the war she would devote herself to raising orphaned children and stressed that she was ready to die for her Motherland.

Roza’s heroism was rewarded with two Orders of Glory 2nd and 3rd class. Her feats were covered by the Soviet and foreign press, where she was described as “the invisible terror of East Prussia”.

🕯 Roza perished just a few months before the Victory. She was killed on January 28, 1945, during the Insterburg-Königsberg operation, while shielding the commander of an artillery unit. She was only 20 years old.

Ten days before she was killed, she made a last entry in her diary: “I did no more than any Soviet citizen would have done by rising to the defence of my Motherland.”

Roza Shanina was buried at a Soviet war memorial in Znamenka, Kaliningrad Region. A street in Arkhangelsk was named in her honour, and buildings related to the life of the famous sniper still stand in her native village of Yedma. A copy of Shanina's diary is kept in the Ustyansky Museum of Local History.

🏅 Roza Shanina's name will forever remain in history as an example of true bravery and self-sacrifice.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview for the No Statute of Limitations: The Front without a Frontline film project (Moscow, March 30, 2025)

Mr Lavrov, could you please explain why there are attempts today to downplay or even completely deny the role of the Red Army and the Soviet people in the victory over Nazism?

💬 Sergey Lavrov: It is a traditional position of the West to seek to weaken its competitors. Europeans dominated for about 500 years, primarily because they sought to conquer as much land as possible and enslave as many people as possible. Essentially, all of humanity’s tragedies that occurred before 1939, including World War II, were triggered by Europeans. From colonialism, slavery, and the Turkish wars, to the First and Second World Wars, these were all attempts by various powers in Europe to suppress their competitors.

In fact, there is nothing new about competition. People and states have always competed with each other. But the methods used by Europe to suppress its competitors were horrendous. These instincts are deeply ingrained in today's European society, particularly in the elites currently in power in most EU and NATO countries. Although there is growing opposition against such actions, these policies still persist.

The instincts of the ruling class in Europe are clearly evident in what is happening in Ukraine – the war that the West has unleashed against the Russian Federation, using the Kiev regime as its proxy and paving the way for its juggernaut with the bodies of Ukrainians. Just like Napoleon mobilised almost all of Europe during the Patriotic War of 1812, and Hitler, after conquering most of Europe, put the French, Spaniards, and a large part of the continent’s countries under arms, this is also happening now. The French conducted punitive operations, and the Spanish participated in the blockade of Leningrad. This is a well-known fact.

Therefore, we can see even today that almost all of Western Europe has been mobilised to try to prolong the existence of the Nazi Zelensky regime. Just like during Hitler’s era, this is being done under Nazi flags, with SS Totenkopf chevrons, etc, and so on.

<...>

The Baltic States, Poland and a number of other EU countries have long displayed the trend of rewriting history, equating criminals – those labelled as such by the Nuremberg Tribunal – with the liberators of Europe. This trend must be fought against decisively. Among the examples is the closure of the Russian exhibition at the former Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. This has been happening for several years now. We are not allowed to update our display or even speak there. We are simply not invited. It is astonishing that this year, the ceremony marking the anniversary of the liberation of this concentration camp, was attended by those who turned it into a death camp, while those who liberated it were nowhere to be seen.

What additional efforts is Russia making to preserve historical memory and counter the information war being waged against us? Are the current legal proceedings recognising the actions of Nazi invaders in the occupied territories as genocide part of the effort to restore historical justice?

💬 Sergey Lavrov: Absolutely. This is one of our key priorities. Such legal proceedings are taking place in the Russian Federation and in its constituent entities, particularly in the regions that suffered the most severe human and material losses during the war.

<...>

I am convinced that formal recognition of these crimes as genocide against the peoples of the USSR will not happen quickly because the resistance is immense. Acknowledging this reality would call into question the entire ideological foundation of most modern Western elites in Europe. However, this work will inevitably lead to recognition at the international level in the future.

#Victory80

🗓 80 years ago, on April 16, 1945, the Berlin Offensive — one of the Red Army’s key strategic operations during #WWII — commenced.

The operation resulted in the final defeat of the enemy’s Berlin group of forces and, with Hitler’s war machine being completely crushed. The Soviet forces took the capital of the Third Reich — #Berlin. The Instrument of Unconditional Surrender of Nazi Germany was signed — the document that heralded the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War.

***

🌟 By spring 1945, the Red Army successfully carried out a series of offensive operations aimed at liberating the countries and peoples of Central and Eastern Europe from the Nazi invaders. Hitler’s troops and their henchmen were expelled from Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Poland; Vienna and the capital of modern Slovakia, Bratislava, saved from the Nazi plague.

Nevertheless, WWII was far from end. The final battle for the liberation of Europe from the Nazi plague, the Battle of Berlin, was coming.

***

By mid-April, 1945, the Soviet forces — having liberated Poland from the Nazis — consolidated positions along the Oder and Neisse rivers and started preparations to launch the offensive on Berlin. Mere dozens of kilometres separated the Red Army from the capital of Hitler’s Germany. The enemy installed deeply echeloned defences and deployed elite Wehrmacht units against the Soviet forces.

To attack Berlin, the Soviet Supreme High Command deployed forces from the 1st Belorussian Front (commanded by Marshal Georgy Zhukov); the 2nd Belorussian Front (Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky); and the 1st Ukrainian Front (Marshal Ivan Konev).

⚔️ The Berlin Offensive began at 5:00 AM on April 16 with a massive artillery fire. Following this, 143 powerful spotlights were activated to blind and disorient the enemy. Infantry and armoured units then launched their assault.

Enemy resistance intensified as Soviet forces advanced. Fierce fighting erupted at the Seelow Heights — a critical defensive point just 60 kilometres away from Berlin — where the Wehrmacht’s 9th Army, blocking the direct route to the Reich’s capital, was destroyed.

Within several days, the 1st Belorussian and 1st Ukrainian Fronts breached the Oder-Neisse defensive line of the Nazis, advanced 30 kilometres towards Berlin, and started encircling the city to destroy its garrison.

April 20: Red Army units reached Berlin. Soviet long-range artillery started shelling, with brutal tank battles erupting on the city’s outskirts.

April 25: The 1st Belorussian and 1st Ukrainian Fronts linked up west of the city, completing the encirclement of the enemy’s Berlin group of Nazi troops.

April 29: Fierce fighting started in the heart of Berlin, where Germany’s highest governmental and military authorities were located. During the storming of the Reichstag on the night of April 30 — May 1, the legendary #VictoryBanner was raised — a symbol of the Soviet Union’s triumph over Nazism.

May 2: Berlin’s garrison surrendered. By May 5, the Nazi resistance was crushed. A total of 134,000 German soldiers and officers were captured.

✍️ On the night of May 8–9, Marshal Zhukov and the Allied representatives accepted Germany’s unconditional surrender at Karlshorst. So, WWII in Europe ended.

***

🎖 The Berlin Operation saw the Red Army not only crush the last major and most elite Wehrmacht force but also liberate approximately 200'000 prisoners from Nazi concentration camps within the combat zone. Over 600 Soviet soldiers were awarded the title #HeroOftheSovietUnion for their valour.
🎙 From FM Sergey Lavrov’s answers to the media questions during his remarks at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum (April 12, 2025)

💬 We are not about territories. We are about the people who live on these lands, whose ancestors lived there for centuries, who founded cities like Odessa, Catherine the Great, who built factories, who built houses, ports, and these people, by twist of history, during the Soviet days, became not part of Russia, but part of Ukraine, because this was considered a consolidating factor to neutralize the ultra-radicals living in the Western part of Ukraine when it joined the Soviet Union after the war.

The people who live there, they are being deprived of all human rights. I quoted the UN Charter, which in Article 1 says everybody must respect the human rights of every individual, irrespective of race, gender, language, or religion.

Human rights and language rights
of anybody who is ethnic Russian and lives on the territory which used to be Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, they were deprived of their basic rights. The Russian language has been prohibited at all stages of education, in the areas of culture, media.

Russian books have been thrown out of the libraries. The Nazis in Germany were burning them, but Ukrainians are much more smart. They utilize them and get money for this, you know, but everybody is happy. And recently, the canonic Ukrainian Orthodox Church was prohibited by law. They literally exterminate anything Russian.

When in September 2021, long before the operation which we had to launch, Zelensky was asked in an interview what he thought, and at that time the Minsk Agreement was still valid, though later Germans, the French, and the Ukrainian president before Zelensky admitted that they never intended to implement them, they needed more time to arm Ukraine, speaking of the ceasefire for 30 days, logic is the same.

In November 2021, Zelensky was asked what he thought about the people on the other side of the line of contact in Donbass. And he said, trying to sound clever, "You know, there are people and there are species”. Another time he gave his advice “to those who live in Ukraine but feel associated with the Russian culture, for the sake of your kids, for the sake of your grandchildren, get out to Russia”.

Just a couple of weeks ago, in another interview, when he was asked what is driving him, he said, "Hatred to Russia." The interviewer wanted to clarify, “To President Putin?”, he said, "No, to all Russians."

This is said by the person who during his artistic days was defending the right of Ukrainians to speak Russian, and he said, "Get lost, don't even think about touching the Russian language, it's our history." So, this is where we are.

Hatred is not the best guide. By the way, maybe somebody knows, Israel never prohibited Arab language, no? I don't think so.

❗️ I think Ukraine is the only country on Earth which is multinational, and the language of one huge ethnic group is prohibited.

If you read and listen to what the West is saying, EU, NATO, especially EU. Human rights is on top of everything. When they discuss Venezuela, Russia, Serbia, Türkiye, they never forget about human rights. Check what they're saying on the situation in Ukraine. They say Zelensky and his team defend European values. If your value is exterminating the language of those who founded the country, if your value is to glorify Nazis and their collaborators who were convicted by the Nuremberg Tribunal, to whom you put monuments, whose birthdays you celebrate as national holiday, while ruining, toppling the monuments to those who saved Europe from Nazism, toppling the monument in Odessa, which I mentioned already, to Catherine the Great, who founded that city.

Soon after this monument to Catherine the Great, the Empress, was toppled, UNESCO granted the Odessa central region where the monument was located the status of World Heritage. It's such a shame to the lady who happens to be French and happens, I think, by default to become director-general of this respected organization.

📸 Архивные фото, военные сводки, плакаты #ОкнаТАСС передают атмосферу решающей весны 1945 года.

Из выступления Министра иностранных дел России Сергея Лаврова:

Когда мы говорим о Великой Победе, мы вспоминаем ратные подвиги советских воинов, спасших мир от ужасов «коричневой чумы». Свой вклад в общее дело разгрома врага внёс и «информационный фронт». Корреспонденты ТАСС, ежедневно рискуя жизнью, мужественно вели летопись всех 1418 дней войны.
