The Presidential Commission of the Russian Federation to Counter Attempts to Falsify History to the Detriment of Russia's Interests (Russian: комиссия при президенте Российской Федерации по противодействию попыткам фальсификации истории в ущерб интересам России) was a commission in the Russian Federation that was set up by a decree issued by president Dmitry Medvedev on 15 May 2009,[1] officially to "defend Russia against falsifiers of history and those who would deny Soviet contribution to the victory in World War II".[2] The commission was headed by Medvedev's Chief of staff Sergey Naryshkin. The decree establishing the commission was invalidated on 14 February 2012,[3] and the commission thus ceased to exist. The commission has been described as a further regress toward Soviet and Stalinist practices, glorifying the Soviet Union and its crimes.[4]
