Re writing history is nothing new in Russia, (or for that matter, a lot of other countries, including ours.)
Putin is becoming more and more Stalin orientated and I think we're heading into dark waters, possibly even darker than the Cold War. At least that was something of a 'Mexican Stand Off' of that as at its height, the USSR was led by those who had direct experience of the 'Great Patriotic War,' and knew the consequences of a World War Three.
KGB trained Putin has no such experience.
