Making comments in it regarding statements concerning attempts of revising results of the Second world war and a role of the Soviet Union in this war and victory, M.Shaimiev asked those who speak about it, deeply to reflect.

Certainly, present leaders of those or other states can express personal attitude to Great Patriotic war and its results, however, peoples should know and understand enormous value of struggle of the countries of antihitlerite coalition against a fascist plague, - M. Shaimiev emphasized.

To eradicate nazism and chauvinism is very difficultly: several tens millions lives of our compatriots fell in struggle against such plague And how many cities and villages erased from the face of land, how many orphans and cripples, these wounds never would never recover live, - Tatarstan leader noted. He reminded, that only more than 700 thousand people from Tatarstan went to war with fascists from whom every second have not returned. More than 300 our fellow countrymen became Heroes of Soviet Union and full cavalier of the Award of Glory, hundred thousand have received combat awards and medals. Have fought to death fought for the nazism to vanish not only in Europe, but also all over the world,-M.Shaimiev said .

It is immoral to deform results of war in 60 years after a victory. And if have not won? It is impossible to forget, that the nazi army and their allies were able to win huge territories up to full enthrallment of all world. The estimation can be only one, boundless gratitude for all times, - M. Shaimiev stated.
