The authors of reports, orders and reports prepared these documents for the limited circle, that is why the materials are especially trustworthy. The Red Army came to Europe, smashing the retreating enemy, the Soviet Union was not going to seize the foreign territory.

These documents can be called a “pill” for memory improvement, which some politicians in Western countries desperately need. Seventy five years after the defeat of fascism, many politicians are trying to make their people quickly forget what happened in that terrible and tragic era. In some places, Soviet soldiers are labeled as invaders, the monuments to those who brought freedom to people are destroyed.
Some documents are devoted to the assistance provided by the USSR to civilians. There are orders demanding a correct attitude to the civilian population, especially in those countries that fought on the German side.
According to Mikhail Myagkov, scientific director of the Russian Military Historical Society, a global war in the information space against our country began long ago. Everything is done to defame modern Russia. Historical events are used for this purpose.
