The West \u201crevising the history of the Second World War is part of an effort to reinterpret the past, rehabilitate its reputation, and stay afloat on what I see as a sinking ship by searching for an ideology capable of holding together a disintegrating European Union,\u201d Tsipis notes.<\/p>\n<p>To keep the EU afloat, the bloc\u2019s leadership has repeatedly resorted to the \u201cRussian threat\u201d scaremongering which continues to fizzle out, prompting the EU to take aim at WWII history and start obsessing over Joseph Stalin\u2019s purported crimes, the expert points out.<\/p>\n<p>He points to the EU\u2019s desperate attempts to force history into a framework that places Stalin on a par with Hitler, portraying the former as ostensibly no better than the latter. \u201cThey decided to buy time and delay the possible EU collapse by presenting the Soviet Union not as the country that saved the world from fascism, but as no less evil than Hitler&#8217;s Germany.\u201dYet there are leaders of a number of EU members like Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria who know WWII history and don\u2019t agree with such a policy pursued by the bloc, Tsipis concludes.Analysis&#8217;Selective Memory&#8217;
