Putin: Soviet soldiers came to Germany not to take revenge but with a mission of liberation

MINSK, 22 June (BelTA) - Despite attempts to rewrite the pages of the past that are being made today, the truth is that Soviet soldiers came to Germany not to take revenge on the Germans, but with a noble and great mission of liberation, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an article timed to the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War published on the website of the Kremlin.
