Vladimir Putin says there was nothing wrong with Soviet Union's pact with Adolf Hitler's Nazi German

11. The replies on this thread just show the lack of knowledge of history is vast here

First off, this is purposely written to provoke. The pic on the site puts a picture of Putin beside a pic of Adolf.

There were lots of mistakes made. All these countries were still recouperating from WW1 and other conflicts.
Britain also made a "pact" (actually they were peace treaties, but the title shows this is obviously meant to provoke an image).

So now are we going to try and change the image of Russia in ww2? Try to paint them as being on the side of the Nazi's? How dumbed down will we get in our emotional politics?

So he sees it through the eyes of his culture in a history discussion at a school? Like we don't paint our own history in our own cultural terms?

This is much ado about nothing.

People here are embarrassing themselves. "Easy money" for tabloid newsmakers though.
