The Red Army “liberated the peoples of Europe from the brown plague, brought them peace and freedom,” such statements were made by Russian foreign spokesperson Maria Zaharova, who protested against Viktor Orbán’s statement. The Hungarian Prime Minister has previously put it this way: on one side of Szabadság Square there is a monument to the German occupation and on the other the monument to the Soviet occupation. This is a clear message: if you are Hungarian, you can only choose between two options: the occupants or you are for freedom.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “roughly misrepresented the historical truth” when he called the obelisk erected on Szabadság Square in Budapest a “monument to the Soviet occupation,” the Russian foreign spokesman said.
Marija Zaharova, who spoke in a resolution issued Thursday night that Budapestfor their liberation from fascist occupation“80,000 Soviet soldiers lost their lives – opposed the speech delivered by the Hungarian Prime Minister at the unveiling of the statue of the late US President George HW Bush in Freedom Square on October 27.
Hungarians have always thought of the United States as the homeland of freedom; Prime Minister Viktor Orbán spoke about this Tuesday at the unveiling of the statue of the late US President George HW Bush in Budapest’s Szabadság Square. He recalled “for the sake of the weakest”: on one side of Freedom Square there is a monument to the German occupation and on the other to the Soviet occupation. This is a clear message: if you are Hungarian, you can only choose between two options: the occupants or you are for freedom.
Zaharova spoke about “Horthysta Hungary”
„Statements of this kind more or less distort the historical truth and the events of the Second World War, the final result of which was recorded in the relevant judgments of the Nuremberg tribunal. We would like to recall that Horthysta Hungary, Adolf Hitler’s closest ally, played an active role in the partition of Czechoslovakia and Hitler’s aggression against Yugoslavia on June 27, 1941, was distinguished by massive crimes against prisoners of war.Zaharova wrote.
A spokesman for the Russian diplomatic ministry stressed that the Red Armyrid the peoples of Europe from the brown plague, brought them peace and freedom”.
„Currently, there is a tendency in some states to try to silence this fact and to silence the role of our country in the victory over fascism, to anoint the historical responsibility of some capitals for the crimes of the war period, to wash the Nazi henchmen . We will continue to take strong action against such counterfeits in the future.The Russian foreign spokesman said in a statement.
Both dictatorships are terrible
“Both the Nazi and the Communist dictatorships are terrible and inhumane, we are happy that Hungary has got rid of both,” wrote the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Relations on the community page. Tamás Menczer responded to the Russian foreign spokesman calling the Freedom Square obelisk a monument to the Soviet occupation.
