russia continues its large-scale campaign to falsify historical memory and use pseudo-history as a tool of pressure against its neighbors.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fAnalysts from EUvsDisinfo\u00a0draw attention to a 400-page \u201cHistory of Lithuania\u201d published in 2025 by the moscow state institute of international relations, with a foreword by sergey lavrov. This so-called academic study is in fact yet another product of Kremlin propaganda, through which russia attempts to undermine the very existence of Lithuanian statehood and justify its aggressive behavior.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fThe book ignores soviet crimes, claims that Lithuania \u201cwas never independent,\u201d that its occupation by the ussr was \u201cbeneficial,\u201d and that the restoration of independence in 1991 was \u201cundemocratic.\u201d Current Lithuanian politicians are portrayed as \u201crussophobic radicals.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fThe book is part of a series. Earlier, the institute published a \u201cHistory of Ukraine\u201d filled with the same falsifications that underpin putin\u2019s manifesto on the \u201chistorical unity,\u201d which the kremlin used to justify the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fThe main author of both books is maksim grigoryev. He is not a historian but an active participant in kremlin information operations against Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Pseudo-historical publications are a tool of moscow\u2019s systemic policy. The kremlin rewrites the past whenever reality contradicts its imperial ambitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
