Russia and China Should Reinforce Joint Media Efforts
The
old saying stating that each new generation had to learn history in
order not to commit the same mistakes has become quite topical. Current

around the world who grew up on textbooks and movies, convinced that
the most decisive battles against Nazism and fascism took place in
Western Europe and Northern Africa, were surprised on September 3 in

such as Sputnik and RT in Russia, CCTV, Caixin and Southern China
Weekly magazines in China, plus The BRICS Post (among others),
broadcasting and publishing in Russian, Chinese, English, Spanish,
Portuguese and many more languages from each continent.
