In the new book of the series “Our 20th century. How it was?" historian Armen Gasparyan, political scientist Dmitry Kulikov and Vesti FM radio host Gia Saralidze refute the most common myths and ridiculous stereotypes about the Second World War and its consequences - from the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty to the Cold War era. Which countries, besides the USSR, entered into agreements with Germany's secret protocols? Who benefits from blaming Soviet soldiers for violence against European women? Who organized the Hungarian uprising - the working masses, fascists or CIA agents? Read about this and much more in the book “Echoes of War. An inconvenient truth.”
