Safonov claims that the ideological heirs of Romanian wartime Prime Minister Ion Antonescu are attempting to revise history through educational materials
THE Moldovan authorities are trying to erase everything related to the victory in World War II from the minds of its citizens, Transnistrian lawmaker and political scientist Andrei Safonov told Sputnik on Wednesday.
“Trying to take revenge nowadays, the ideological heirs of [Romanian wartime Prime Minister] Marshal Ion Antonescu are attacking on all ‘fronts’: on the one hand, they publish the ‘History of Romanians’ textbook, where they try to whitewash the late Romanian leader; on the other hand, they erase from the consciousness of Moldovans everything that is connected with the Great Victory of the Soviet people. The ban on celebrating Victory Day in the centre of Chisinau on 9 May is one of such steps. And how many more there will be if this regime holds on after this year’s parliamentary elections,” Safonov said.
The authorities in Moldova are also systemically destructing everything connected with Russia and its presence in history, the lawmaker said, adding that Moldovan politicians are increasingly saying that only Romanians, not Moldovans, live on the banks of the Dniester River. — SPUTNIK
