The Soviet Union is innocent of the outbreak of the Second world war. As reported TASS, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Last night, as reported by the “Rambler” on TV channel “Russia” was shown a film journalist Andrei Kondrashov “War for memory” about the great Patriotic war. It included an interview with Putin. During it the head of state said that the Soviet Union is innocent of the outbreak of the Second world war.
“we do Not have and can be no guilt,” he said.
