The Lithuanian foreign Ministry summoned the representative of the Russian Embassy
The Ministry of foreign Affairs of Lithuania summoned the envoy of the Russian Embassy, said the Embassy on its Internet representation.
The reason for this was the draft law to the state Duma submitted the people's Deputy Alexei Zhuravlev, the invalidation of the decision of the Council of people's deputies of the USSR from 24 December 1989 to condemn the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact and its secret protocols. For reviews Zhuravleva, the decision " inconsistent with the principles of historical justice and customary in the context of growing political instability of those years, coupled with pressure from external forces."
the Embassy said that the meeting with the Russian Minister Counsellor Deputy Minister of foreign Affairs of Lithuania Dalius д?ekuolis "in a cautionary vein, presented the point of view of his country about the" Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact ".
It is noted that the Russian diplomat took the charges of Vilnius in the "historical revisionism" and "occupation" of Lithuania by the Soviet Union.
As underlined by the Agency Sputnik Lithuania, the Lithuanian foreign Ministry expressed "deep concern" about the bill Zhuravleva.
"Deputy Minister of foreign Affairs Dalius д?ekuolis emphasized that the collusion of 2 dictators who are trying to rehabilitate, many times condemned by the international community, but Russia itself. He also expressed hope that the Duma will have enough wisdom to reject a project that returns today's Russian Federation in the totalitarian past, " - the Agency quotes the letter to the Lithuanian diplomatic vedomctva.
The Seimas of Lithuania, for its part, was subjected to charges of the state Duma in an attempt to " violate international law ".
The non-aggression Pact between the USSR and Germany on 23 August 1939, signed in the Russian capital, foreign Minister of Soviet Union Vyacheslav Molotov and German foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop. The Pact was supplemented with secret additional Protocol, which determined the distinction between Soviet and German spheres of influence in Eastern Europe in the event of " territorial rearrangement ".
Half a century later, on 24 December 1989 the Congress of people's deputies of the USSR, at that time the highest authority in the Soviet Union, adopted a resolution officially condemning the secret protocols As "an act of personal power," does not reflect " the will of the Soviet people, who are not responsible for this conspiracy."
It was emphasized that " dialogue with Germany in the secret Protocol was conducted by Stalin and Molotov secretly from the Soviet people, the CPSU(b), and the whole party, the Supreme Council and the government of the USSR."
