Absolutely correct, and if this is the way things are starting to move, then it is a huge step back to normality. Politicians need stay well clear of history, other than its abstract distilled lessons to enhance wisdom, and overwhelmingly agreed facts. However, we need even go further and state that as Historians, we shouldn't deal with legal judgements. These are the remit of a competent court. Historians, recently have sensed their commercial opportunities, they have discovered how they can reep the rewards, by spinning history for the consumption of politicians, it has secured them the books, secured them the research grants, however with it, it has secured propaganda and lobsided views, it has secured a dangerous position, that has been seen before, of history being misused as a weapon. This is and never has been the scope of historical study. It has only been the scope of warmongers and tyrants who wish to justify their actions with pre-written spin and propaganda to justify their awful deeds. It is what happened in Nazi Germany, it is what is happening in the Baltics, and it is what was happening in Ukraine. PACE leadership, can be a key enablement to move in the right direction for Europe, a direction of peace and harmonious retaionship. So now it is time to make politicians politicians, historians historians, and judges judges. To mix them, just gives a cocktail in poor taste that severely burns its consumers in the drinking!
