"Russian History Will Be Controlled"


That is what TT writes. A new state history commission will see to that no one will "diminish the country's international prestige". Medvedev is saying that he will fight attempts to hurt the Russian interest by falsifying history. The commission has 28 members, of which only TWO are academics.

I just want to remind people not to forget about Russia. Things are from good there, still. Potentially (probably!) rewrite history by having an officially accepted state history is as the human rights activist Oleg Orlov says "a typical attribute for a totalitarian state".
