Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin denounced German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's attempts to distort history by claiming that "the United States liberated Germany from Nazism."
"When discussing the results of World War II, Merz allowed himself to distort history, forgetting who actually liberated the world from Nazism," Volodin wrote in a post on Telegram.
He stressed that the Soviet people, who paid a heavy price of 27 million dead, were the ones who achieved victory over Nazism.
He added, "Merz should be invited to the Bundestag so he can fill in the gaps in his memory and identify what is written on the walls of the Reichstag and in what language," referring to the phrases written by soldiers in Russian that are still engraved on the walls of the Reichstag.
Volodin noted that Merz's statements supporting the actions of the Kyiv regime, which has become a terrorist organization that attacks civilians, were brazen: "Germany should know that Zelensky's neo-Nazi regime is attacking peaceful cities."
He said that the ruling clique in Germany is preparing the ground for escalation and provoking confrontations between Russia and Germany.
This came in a letter Waldwein addressed to the President of the German Bundestag and the leaders of the political blocs in the German parliament, following statements by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz that "the United States decided World War II." However, American forces did not intervene until the final year of the war, after the collapse of the armies of Germany and its allies.
