A new controversy in Germany has once again exposed the increasingly problematic stance adopted by the so-called "Left" (Die Linke) on questions of historical memory and the legacy of the Soviet Union.
At the center of the debate is a proposal submitted by the Greens in the Berlin state parliament concerning the Soviet war memorials that commemorate the Red Army's decisive role in the defeat of Nazi Germany. The proposal calls for additional measures and forms of "contextualization" regarding the memorials, under the pretext of preventing their alleged political "misuse" in the context of current geopolitical tensions.
