Western countries do not abandon attempts to set the peoples of the former Soviet Union against each other, using a biased interpretation of history, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a meeting of the Council of Heads of Entities under the Russian Foreign Ministry, TASS reported.

Lavrov noted that German government has taken a course to rewrite the history of World War II and rehabilitate the Third Reich.

 "The other day the German government approved the concept of the so-called documentation center "World War II and the German occupation in Europe." This concept at the first reading raises serious questions as to its consistency with historical facts," the minister said. "The structure of the center is planned in such a way as to not only belittle the contribution of the Soviet Union and all the peoples of the USSR to the defeat of German fascism, but even to obscure the crimes of the Third Reich, aimed at the peoples of the USSR,” he noted.
