Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered.

Russia Erupts in Fury Over Biden's Calling Putin a Killer
After the tone-deaf incoherent Trump, what a relief to have a President who has a way with words
Russia recalled its ambassador to the United States and unleashed a storm of derision aimed at President Biden after he said in a television interview that he thought President Vladimir V. Putin was a killer.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said late Wednesday that it had summoned its envoy in Washington, Anatoly I. Antonov, to Moscow "in order to analyze what needs to be done in the context of relations with the United States".
"We are interested in preventing an irreversible deterioration in relations, if the Americans become aware of the risks associated with this", the Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman, Maria V. Zakharova, said in a statement.
Ms. Zakharova did not specify whether a specific event had prompted the decision to recall Mr. Antonov, but the rare move came as Russian officials reacted with fury to an interview with Mr. Biden aired by ABC News. In the interview, when asked whether he thought Mr. Putin was a "killer", Mr. Biden responded: "Mmm hmm, I do".
Dmitri S. Peskov, Mr. Putin's spokesman, described Mr. Biden's comments as "very bad".
"He clearly does not want to improve relations with our country, and we will be proceeding based precisely on this", Mr. Peskov told reporters on Thursday.
