Social media users were outraged by the White House publication that the United States and Great Britain had won over the Nazis. In addition, the photo caption in a tweet states that the American spirit “always wins.”
People from many countries do not agree with this. Twitter users write that the Americans seem to have badly taught history and that Washington will not succeed in distorting the undeniable facts of the past.
The statement of the White House has already been condemned in the Russian Foreign Ministry, the channel reports “Russia 24”. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called this post a falsification and a mockery of common sense and emphasized that it is unacceptable to put up with this position of Washington.
The White House earlier also posted a video on Instagramin which only the USA and Great Britain are named the winners of Nazism. The role of the USSR was not indicated in any way; moreover, the voiceover also broadcast that the spirit of America would always triumph.
Attempts to declare that only the USA and Great Britain defeated Nazism insult all the peoples who contributed to the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. This was written on Twitter Permanent Representative of Russia to International Organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov. According to him, such statements insult not only Soviet and Russian citizens, but also the peoples of France, Canada, Poland and other countries. And the chairman of the State Duma committee on international affairs, Leonid Slutsky, after a statement made by the White House, suggested holding a “historical educational program” in the US administration.
The day before, Facebook apologized for delete user posts with a photograph of the installation of a red banner over the German Reichstag. It is stated that a photograph of a Soviet soldier hoisting the Banner of Victory over the Reichstag, was deleted by Facebook due to an automated tool error.
