Russia’s Defense Ministry will thwart attempts to vilify Russia and falsify its history, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at the ministry’s board meeting.
The minister stressed that this is particularly important in the run-up to the 75th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
According to him, efforts to make public declassified wartime records will continue.
"New sections of the Memory of the People interactive service will be available on the ministry’s website by May 9. The Commanders of the Victory multimedia project and the Liberation Fireworks project, which provides information on the liberation of the capitals of European countries, are being updated all the time," TASS cited Shoigu as saying.
