However, we all know that our veterans need constant, daily support. Therefore, the main issue for the Russia Victory Organising Committee is whether everything has been done to ensure all-round complete support for our veterans. As you may know, a Presidential Executive Order instructed the Government to take additional measures to improve the veterans' social and economic situation, and this is something we will also speak about today. There are over 2.5 million veterans in Russia. Each of them contributed to the Victory in decisive battles and on nameless heights, at military hospitals, in resistance units, during the siege of Leningrad, in Moscow, in all the regions, in the rear, in evacuation, where the vital power of this country was being strengthened by gruelling labour – all this was achieved through the efforts of specific individuals. Unfortunately, today we see not only attempts at distorting the events of that war, but also unmasked cynical lies and impudent defamation of an entire generation of people who gave up everything for this Victory, who defended peace on earth. I am certain that all of you know this, there is no need to repeat it, but sometimes one finds it hard to even speak of the shameless conclusions and so-called observations that have nothing in common with the truth. Their goal is obvious: to undermine Russia's power and moral authority, to deprive it of its status of a victorious nation, with all the ensuing international legal consequences, to divide peoples and set them against each other and to use historical speculations in their geopolitical games. At times, it sounds like downright ravings – it is amazing how people get these ideas. In fact, they are not as harmless as they may seem because this is an attempt to implant very dangerous ideas and warped perception of history into the minds of millions of people, primarily the younger generation. When I speak of a unifying role I mean that many nations within the then conquered Europe followed the developments on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War with hope. This, in turn, gave all of Europe strength and hope for a Nazism-free future."
