Klassekampen: West uses historical dates as a weapon against Russia
Western leaders forget about the Soviet Union's contribution to the victory over Nazi Germany in world war II and enjoyed most important historical dates for pressure on the Russian Federation, writes the Norwegian magazine.
The Norwegian authorities first said that none of the officials of the country will not be present at the celebrations on the occasion of Victory Day in the capital of Russia." Hard to understand this decision, " - emphasizes the printed edition, stressing that unless the dedication of the Soviet people, it is unknown what would have been the result of this war.
"The fact that Western Leaders will not participate in the celebrations in the capital of Russia, testifies about the fact that they use such important from a historical point of view the date as a weapon in the current conflict," - emphasizes the printed edition.
Comparing the importance of what is happening currently in the Ukraine with Russia's contribution to the Victory over fascism, Klassekampen comes to the conclusion that the Ukrainian conflict must be pushed into the background for the celebration on May 9.
"in deference to million of people who gave their lives in the battle against Nazism, one must conclude a political truce for the sake of the celebration of historical dates," - emphasizes the printed edition.
