Official Warsaw has played in lies about the events of the Second world war, said the official authorized Russian foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, explaining the words of Polish Ambassador to Germany Andrzej Prilenskoe about the role of the USSR in victory over fascism.

Words Prilenskoe quoted in the newspaper M? Rkische Oderzeitung. Published February 8 article, "War started not in 1941," the diplomat said that the Soviet Union attacked on September 17 1939 Poland and so made it impossible to continue the resistance against Nazi Germany. Russia, the Polish Ambassador said, should "finally admit" that the Second world War began in 1939, not in 1941. The Polish Ambassador believes that " not the Soviet Union and the Western allies made a decisive contribution to ending the war ", noting that "tens of thousands of Polish soldiers" were fighting as well as among them in the ranks of the red Army against the Nazis. According Prilenskoe, the Soviet Union "has extracted the greatest benefit from the end of combat action" as evidence it, as it is written in the publication, " led the occupation of the Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic States, as well as the subordination of Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and other countries."

"probably two or three weeks ago, we took the data that the Polish Pro-government structures, public authorities have carried out a proper consultation on the subject of how to act to calm those materials and historical facts that will present Moscow, to prevent the spread of the truth about those events. I think that, unfortunately, we have a lot more to see. But we have something to say ", - said Zakharov.
