The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, whose videos were removed on Sunday from the Roscosmos Media YouTube channel, commented on the incident on his Telegram channel.
He recorded a new song, accompanying the clip with these words: “Listen to my song. It’s about Russians. And he explained that this song is “about our struggle for truth and justice”, as well as “for the right of Russia to live by its own mind and independently manage its great multinational land”.
The head of Roskosmos himself wrote the text of the composition. And the music for it was created by the Kazakh musician Ilyas Autov. The video also features the Baikonur choir.
Rogozin said that US censorship “wants to watch only what corresponds to their vision of the world.”
And Russia has “its own understanding of history”, which “consists in the fact that” the Russian army defeated Napoleon’s troops, in which “all the armies of the current European Union fought against us.” And that it was the Red Army that defeated “again, all the armies and military factories of the countries of the current European Union, assembled by the Third Reich.”
“Does it hurt your eyes?” wrote the statesman.
