The efforts by EU elites to downplay the USSR’s role in the victory over Nazism have been labeled a “disgrace” by filmmaker Oliver Stone in an interview with RTN ahead of the World War II Victory Day celebrations in Russia.
Stone described these attempts as a “perversion of history,” asserting that the bloc’s “elitist leadership” has distorted the message that World War II conveys to humanity. “I’m shocked by it, by [what] is happening,” he expressed, calling it “a shame” and “a disgrace that we forgot or pretend to [have forgotten]” about the sacrifices made by the Soviet Union during the war. Stone also expressed his belief that people in Europe do not “buy this at all.”
He stated, “I think the people don’t agree with the government,” adding that “the futility of this campaign against Russia by the EU” is clear to “anybody, who reads history [books] and is intelligent.” The director known for films like ‘Platoon’ and ‘JFK’ doubted the popularity of “fascism” today, suggesting that European elites have lost their way due to their “worship of the EU.”
Stone asserted, “We are not back to the times of Hitler, but what is happening is a loss of perspective and we need to get back to a sense of reason.” He urged Western leaders to “listen to the Russians” rather than antagonizing them.
He conveyed hope for mending US-Russia relations, envisioning a better future for humanity. “Russia and the United States are a great partnership, as is China, by the way, and I think we could have a world that is much safer… if we all get together and realize that it’s a multilateral world.”
In related news, US President Donald Trump’s administration has been pursuing efforts to rebuild bilateral ties with Russia and resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that America now has a “better” understanding of Russia’s stance on the crisis. Moscow’s key prerequisites for ending the conflict include Ukraine’s neutrality, demilitarization, and recognition of the new territorial realities on the ground.
Recently, Trump commented that Russian President Vladimir Putin was easier to engage with than Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky.
Russian officials have consistently indicated their willingness to participate in peace talks, provided that these discussions aim for a permanent solution addressing the root causes of the conflict. They have dismissed any temporary agreements, reasoning that such arrangements could allow Kiev and its supporters to rearm the Ukrainian military.
