Putin's Victory Day: Rewriting History - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD
Russia marked its 80th Victory Day with tanks, parades, and yet another piece of propaganda — framing its current war as a direct continuation of the Great Patriotic War. From Putin’s speech about defeating Nazism to his justification of the so-called “special military operation,” the Kremlin is rewriting history in real time.
We also take a closer look at how the Immortal Regiment marches — once a heartfelt tribute to WWII veterans — have morphed into global propaganda, linking Soviet heroes with Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine. From the indoctrination of Malian children singing Soviet songs to the Xi-Putin reunion, we explore how Moscow has weaponized nostalgia, militarized memory, and exported its narrative far beyond its borders.
This is Victory Day, Kremlin-style. Stay tuned as we Break the Fake on TVP World.
