The battle for Europe’s past and future
The EU's bid to draw an equivalence between communism and fascism isn't just a distortion of history – it's part of a drive towards war, writes JONATHAN WHITE
A couple look at The Motherland Calls, a monument to the Soviet victory at the Battle of Stalingrad that turned the tide against the nazis in World War II. The EU now seeks to blame the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany equally for the war
