lpv:translated text	"The ceremonies taking place in Moscow today to mark the end of the Second World War were intended to serve as a symbol of global reconciliation and unity. One cannot help feeling, however, that the Kremlin is attempting to use this occasion to rewrite history. It has disputed the crimes committed in Katyn, where thousands of Polish officers were murdered, as well as the genocide committed in the labour camps and the illegal annexation of the Baltic States. It was for this reason that the leaders of Lithuania, Estonia and Georgia boycotted the ceremony. We must not forget that the Second World War began with an almost simultaneous attack on Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, and that Hitler and Nazi Germany were not the only architects of the war, as the Soviet Union also acted as an accessory. Finally, we must bear in mind that the end of the fascist occupation of Eastern Europe marked the beginning of Soviet domination. If we fail to remember these facts, today’s ceremony in Russia may turn into a eulogy of Soviet imperialism instead of a celebration of the victory over fascism."@en1
