| Russia opens Museum of U.S.-NATO Aggression |
| 2014-04-18 |
| A museum dedicated to the victims of U.S. and NATO military aggression has opened in the North Caucasus city of Vladikavkaz. The exhibition opened Thursday to visitors over the age of 16, and displays artifacts "attesting" to "the state terrorism" of Western nations, said organizer Vyacheslav Lagkuyev. Among the exhibition's themes are the conflicts in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan — each of which has its own display in the museum. The U.S. war in Vietnam and the NATO bombing of Serbia are also detailed. A special place has been set aside to celebrate Russia's "enforcement of peace" in Georgia, with whom it went to war over the breakaway regions South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Lagkuyev said, "The exhibition is meant to remind visitors how the U.S. imparts its own understanding of the word 'Freedom' to other countries. He said, "This is the only museum on this subject in Russia," adding that people from across the nation had contacted the organizers to say they had their own "documentation" of NATO atrocities that they wished to be put on display. |
