the Soviet Union, without the Russian people, there would be no

a signed article published in the Russian Gazette recently, Xi recalled
the sacrifices and contributions China and Russia made in WWII,
reaffirmed the two countries' joint determination to uphold the outcome
of the war, and called for win-win cooperation in dealing with
international affairs. "Xi said the peoples of China and Russia will
stand together with all peace-loving nations and peoples firmly against
any attempt to deny, distort or tamper with WWII history," said Pavel
Negoitsa, director-general of the Russian Gazette. "This is important
because it is what the Russians are now concerned about, and our closest
neighbor pointed it out clearly," Negoitsa said. In his article, Xi
quoted Russian historian Vasily Klyuchevsky as saying that "If we lost
the memory of our past, our mind and soul would be lost in the
darkness," in a bid to show the determination of peoples of China and
Russia to fight against attempts to rewrite the wartime history.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Singapore. “The present trajectory will
end up with Russia becoming the junior partner to China. Will Russians
put up with this forever? I doubt it.”
