He made the remarks during the opening ceremony of a comprehensive exhibition at the Museum of the Great Patriotic War, marking the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, which falls on May 9.
"The reason why the people were able to win the Second World War is because we united and fought together. We must oppose any attempt to distort the history of the Second World War, because the historical facts are indisputable" , Medvedev said.
More than 2,000 valuable items from national museums of the former Soviet republics, including weapons, documents, photos, books and paintings related to World War II, are on display until October 18.
/"We are the last witnesses of the Second World War, and no one experienced it after that, so the fate of each of us is a page of the history of war," Vasadina said Nelly Pavlavna, a civilian who was arrested by Nazi Germany during the war.
“The exhibition is very meaningful for the younger generation, because they can understand what a real war is and remember not to invade and trample other countries,” said Kurban Satarov, a veteran from Uzbekistan.
/"We achieve victory with unity and friendship. Hitler only knew that we did not have enough weapons, but he did not know that we were so united. Friendship and unity are the true weapons, so I am really happy today,/” said Tatiana Mihaylovna Zaharova, a worker during the war.
