Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the organisers, participants and guests of the History for the Future. Russia and Belarus international forum.
The message reads, in part:
Historically, our peoples have been bound by fraternal friendship, common cultural and spiritual values, mutual support and unfailing solidarity in the most difficult times. We will always be proud of the glorious and heroic pages of our common history and remember the feat of Soviet soldiers who crushed Nazism and gave humanity the joy of a peaceful life.
Today, amid unprecedented external pressure, it is extremely important to strengthen the Union State, our multifaceted ties, personal, human contacts, and preserve the truth about the Second World War and its heroes for future generations, and firmly resist all attempts to falsify historical facts.
I am confident that your forum, that put together prominent scientists, diplomats, heads of universities, representatives of public organisations and the media from both countries, will be held in a creative and productive manner. It will become an authoritative international platform for forming new approaches to studying history, and it will contribute to the development of humanitarian cooperation and the implementation of significant patriotic and educational initiatives.
