Our today’s special edition is all about historical truth. The topic was raised by our neighbors – the Embassy of Finland – that told a story about the 80th anniversary of the end of the war between the Soviet Union and Finland. We do not dispute the right of our colleagues to tell the American people about the relations of their countries with Russia or the Soviet Union. However, since they have yet again surpassed normal diplomatic ethics, we will have to restore the balance and allow the readers and listeners to form an objective take on the historical events for themselves.
