Don't forget the USSR's evil legacy

By Vytautas Landsbergis

The blood of World War II's victims calls for justice and fairness, but most of all it demands honesty about who and what caused their tragic fate. If those who gather in Moscow on May 9 do anything to validate Soviet war crimes, they will show themselves to be insensitive to the silent cries of World War II's tens of millions of dead innocents. The only real winner would be the spirit of that evil.

Vytautas Landsbergis, the first post-communist president of independent Lithuania, is a Member of the European Parliament.
