Latvian Museum of Occupation in his guidebook in Riga put data on the nun Mary tortured by the Nazis in the "Soviet occupation victims" section, According to RIA Novosti.
Falsification of historical facts found local historian from Riga Alexander Rzhavin.
He was not surprised, when it is not found in the guide memorial sign in honor of the Nazis fought the Soviet underground worker Martins Poge, but I found the monument to the soldiers of the German army from among local young people, sluzhyvshyh in air defense, and killed in the airstrike reflection of Soviet aviation.
The history of the nun Maria (Elizabeth in the world Jurevna Skobtsova), active member of the French Resistance, ethnographer named outright falsification. During the German occupation of the house of the nuns he became one of the headquarters of the Resistance, refuge for prisoners of war and Jews.
Nazis executed Mary to Ravensbrück gas chamber 31 Martha 1945 of the year. Before the liberation of the camp by Soviet soldiers remained exactly one week. But this fact has not prevented the museum to put it in the section of Gulag victims.
apparently, the logic of the authors of the guidebook, it Chekists were repressed it in 1943 year and deported from France to Germany. paradoxically, but the fact: Latvian Museum has ranked the native of Riga to the victims of the "Soviet occupation", celebrates local history.
According to him, in guide two authors, corrector, editor. So really none of them noticed the error? "For some reason,, I do not believe", - added Rzhavin.
