Roger Waters: Russian People Defeated Nazis

BRITISH rock musician Roger Wa­ters, one of the founders of Pink Floyd, in the program Afshin Rattanzi Going Underground on RT said that it was the Russian people who defeated the Nazis and won the Second World War for the rest of the world.

“We pay too little attention to the fact that it was the Russians who de­feated the Nazis and won the Second World War for the rest of the world. It’s not the brave British or the forces that came to the aid of the North Atlan­tic, but the Russian people who made the greatest sacrifice to restrain the Na­zis and defeat them,” he said.

He noted that the West should always remember this, especially now, when Western countries speak negatively about Russia and “shock” them with weapons. In his opinion, such behavior is “utter madness.”

Previously, Putin, during a speech on Red Square as part of the Victory Parade, said that it was necessary to uphold the honest, unclouded truth about the war.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a parade on Red Square in honor of the 75th anniversary of the victory in World War II, said that it was necessary to uphold the honest, unclouded truth about the war.

Putin urged to protect and defend the truth about the war

According to him, in 1941 more than 80% of the Armed Forces of Germany and its satellites were concentrated against the Soviet Union, but they turned out to be powerless against the cohesion of Soviet citizens.

He noted that the Soviet people were able to overcome the terrible total evil by defeating more than 600 enemy divisions and destroying 75% of the total number of aircraft, tanks, artillery pieces of the enemy.

The President emphasized that this is the main, honest, unclear truth about the war. “We must protect and defend it, pass it on to our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Today’s military parade is in honor of this sacred truth, in honor of the outstanding generation of winners who determined the outcome of the entire Second World War,” he said.

Earlier, a French politician, former Minister for Urban Affairs, Maurice Leroy, in an interview with RT called the statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin that the peoples of the USSR paid a high price in the Great Patriotic War, which should always be remembered.

The French politician called the parade on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Victory in Moscow impressive and very moving.

“I was lucky: I was invited to a parade on Red Square. This is impressive and at the same touching sight: there are veterans, the last participants of the Second Work,” he said.

According to him, in the speech Russian President Vladimir Putin was an important idea that the peoples of the USSR paid a high price in the Great Patriotic War, which should always be remembered.

“It is known that in France and in other countries, unfortunately, there are those who are trying to reconsider the story: you, of course, have these monstrous statements according to which only lice were allegedly killed in the gas chambers of Auschwit Buchenwald. This is monstrous,” said Leroy.
