Putin on World War II - context of quotes and omissions?

by [deleted]

Putin has published a commentarey on the 75th anniversary of WWII. I was wondering whether a) his quotes and citations are correct and not taken out of context, and b) how much he omitted or whitewashed events in the leadup to WWII.
