The treaty between the USSR and Germany was the last of all those signed by other European countries, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on December 20.
The head of the Russian state presented historical documents attesting to the treaties of various European countries with Hitler at a meeting of the heads of the CIS countries in Saint Petersburg.
Vladimir Putin emphasized that the so-called “Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact” was not the only document signed by any European country with Nazi Germany.
“It turns out that this is not true at all. I will simply list them, with your permission,” the Russian president said.
These are only a part of the treaties concluded in pre-war Europe with Nazi Germany.
“Thus, the treaty between the USSR and Germany was the last in a series of those signed by other European countries, supposedly interested in maintaining peace in Europe,” Vladimir Putin noted.
“At the same time, I would like to note that the USSR agreed to sign this document only after all options had been exhausted, all proposals by the USSR to create a unified security system… in Europe had been rejected,” the Russian president added.
As REGNUM reported, a deliberate policy of equating communism with Nazism, and the Soviet Union with Nazi Germany, is being pursued in European countries. One of the reasons for this is the so-called “Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact,” which in Europe is already being called proof of an alliance between Stalin and Hitler.
