Dmitry Medvedev says anyone who lays equal blame on the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany for the war is telling what he calls a "cynical lie."
He's speaking of the Tuesday 60th anniversary of the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact that divided Poland and freed Hitler of the worry he'd fight a two-front war when he invaded France the next year.
I don't know, but that sounds an awful lot like the two of them being responsible for the start of the war.
Unless we're supposed to believe that Britain and France interrupting Hitler's plans by declaring war in solidarity with their Polish allies was the cause of war.
That's likely to get a sympathetic ear in the modern West where failure by a Western state to give in to aggression is often painted as the real act of aggresssion.
