A. Shved: Distortion of the history of the Great Patriotic War is an element of hybrid war

Belarus and Russia are united by the heroic actions of the Great Patriotic War. This memory is sacred. Now one can hear calls to rewrite history, to present it from a different angle. The Red Army in some European countries is shown not as a liberator, but as an invader. The fashion for distorting military history is an element of hybrid warfare, one of the methods of color revolutions.

The main goal is to distort, denigrate and hide the truth about the Great Victory in the eyes of society in order to justify extremist actions. This opinion was shared by Prosecutor General of Belarus Andrei Shved.
