The Final Say Local Russian News In English
The battle over 20th century history returned to the headlines on Monday when the European Court of Human Rights upheld the conviction of a former Soviet partisan for war crimes committed in Latvia during the Second World War. The decision means that Vasily Kononov, who lives in Latvia, will not receive compensation for his conviction and imprisonment over the killings of nine Latvian civilians in 1944. Latvian historians call the decision a victory for justice. Russians say it is tantamount to a revision of the findings of the Nuremburg tribunal.
