Dit was zo ongeveer de rechtvaardiging voor de Sovjet-invasie in Polen in 1939 (in samenwerking met nazi-duitsland) :
blijkbaar was het fabeltje toen ook al dat de eigen mensen moesten beschermd worden, net hetzelfde fabeltje als tijdens de invasie van Crimea in 2014 en het werd ook wel gebruikt om de steun aan de rebellen in Donbas te rechtvaardigen.
In 70 jaar is er niet veel veranderd daar.
Ondertussen is het nu zelfs opnieuw strafbaar in rusland om te schrijven over deze (historisch correcte) samenwerking tussen de sovjets en de nazi's.
Foto's zoals deze zal je dus niet gauw meer tegenkomen in rusland :

On 30 June 2016 Vladimir Luzgin was convicted and fined 200,000 roubles for reposting on his social network page a text stating the USSR invaded Poland in 1939. As Halya Coynash writes in Human Rights in Ukraine, "37-year-old Vladimir Luzgin has been convicted and fined 200 thousand roubles for reposting on his social network page a text which correctly states that the Soviet Union, in collaboration with the Nazis, invaded Poland in 1939. A Russian prosecutor claimed and a court in Perm accepted that Luzgin was guilty of posting 'knowingly false information'. Kommersant reports that Luzgin is the first person in the Perm region (and probably in Russia) to face criminal prosecution under a highly controversial law envisaging anything from fines to five years’ imprisonment for so-called ‘rehabilitation of Nazism’. The law, signed by President Vladimir Putin in May 2014, was an earlier opus from Yelena Yarovaya, co-author of a recently adopted and terrifying repressive ‘anti-terrorist bill’. The law claims to be aimed at opposing the glorification of Nazism and distortion of historical memory. The renowned Sova Centre disagrees and believes its aim is to prohibit historical discussion."
