Analysis:
The article portrays a positive image of the Soviet Union’s role in defeating fascism during World War II via a photo exhibition and the ‘Immortal Regiment’ march held in Ethiopia, Kinshasa, and Cotonou. The credibility of the information seems to be based on the event organized by the Russian House, but it may be limited in terms of independent verification.

The article presents a one-sided view of the Soviet Union’s contributions to victory in World War II, potentially overlooking other nations’ roles in defeating fascism. It could lead to a biased understanding of history by emphasizing the Soviet Union’s sacrifices exclusively.

The impact of such articles can influence public perception by selectively highlighting certain historical narratives. In the context of misinformation and fake news prevalent in modern politics, such representations can shape people’s understanding of historical events based on specific agendas or ideologies.

It is essential for readers to critically evaluate such articles and seek a balanced perspective on historical events to avoid falling prey to biased narratives or oversimplified representations of complex historical realities.
