Russia not comfortable with history
Vladimir Putin’s visit to Gdansk for the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Second World War has caused a storm in Poland. The Russian and Polish Prime Ministers Vladimir Putin and Donald Tusk peacefully walked on a pier in the small town Sopot.
Meanwhile in Moscow, historians claim to have found new documents, which supposedly point to Poland as somehow being to blame for many of the atrocities committed against the Poles during the war.
Many in Poland waited for the Russian Prime Minister to offer apologies for the Soviet role in the murder of hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens. Mr. Putin came not to apologize however, but to point out that Poland occupied parts of Czechoslovakia simultaneously with Nazi armies.
Mr. Putin did seem irritated when Mr. Tusk the Polish Prime Minister mentioned the (Молотова-Риббентропа) Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
