Pretty sure that Russia is no stranger to retreats, re-writing of history, or even changing sides mid-war.
In WW2 it went from being one of the Axis powers that started the most blood-thirsty war of all time, to fighting against Axis Germany but keeping control of the countries it brutally obtained whilst it was an Axis power, for many decades after. Today it talks of the 'Great Patriotic War' but is less than clear as to which role it is celebrating and seems to have erased its own mind as to when it fought as an Axis power alongside Germany or how it helped to start WW2.
Duplicitous behaviour, of the most egregious kind, is never far away from the collective Russian mind. From pretending to 'save' Poland, to modern little-green-men, soldiers-on-holiday, to signing a security guarantee with a country and then invading that very same country, Russia's actual behaviour is in its DNA.
