lpv:translated text	"Sixty years ago, the Second World War ended in Europe when Germany’s Third Reich capitulated and hostilities ceased. On the occasion of this anniversary, it is worth pointing out that it was not only Hitler’s Nazi Germany that was responsible for starting this global military conflict which claimed the lives of tens of millions of people, but also Stalin’s internationalist Soviet Union. The agreement concluded between these two countries in August 1939, known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, made it a foregone conclusion that the two socialist dictatorships would carry out a joint military attack on the other democratic nations of Europe. The Soviet Union only started fighting on the Allies’ side in 1941, when it was attacked by Germany, its former partner. Unlike the Allied forces in the West, the Red Army introduced a system of Communist coercion after driving the Germans from Central and Eastern Europe. In reality, this amounted to a new occupation, which at times was even worse than the previous German one. At the conferences in Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam, Stalin received political backing for his actions from representatives of Western countries, including the USA. Shameful as it is, this is what really happened, and we should not forget it in our endeavours to construct a political vision of the unification of Europe."@en1
