普京：1934年《蘇德互不侵犯條約》是“不道德”的

Attempts by Vladimir Putin, Russia's prime minister, to present a nuanced view of the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland fell flat with his hosts during yesterday's ceremonies marking the 70th anniversary of the second world war's outbreak.

昨日，在波蘭格但斯克舉行的二戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)70周年紀(jì)念活動上，在1939年蘇聯(lián)入侵波蘭的問題上，俄羅斯總理弗拉基米爾•普京(Vladimir Putin)向東道主展示一種不同觀點(diǎn)的企圖失敗了。

While Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany accepted full responsibility for the war, Mr Putin was much more careful with his phrasing.

德國總理安格拉•默克爾(Angela Merkel)承認(rèn)德國對二戰(zhàn)負(fù)全部責(zé)任，與之相比，普京的措辭謹(jǐn)慎得多。

Although he admitted that the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact, which opened the way for a joint attack on Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, was “immoral”, he focused on the Soviet losses suffered following the Nazis' decision to break their alliance with Moscow and invade in 1941. He pointed out that many other countries had signed treaties with Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

盡管普京承認(rèn)，為納粹德國與蘇聯(lián)聯(lián)合進(jìn)攻波蘭鋪平道路的《蘇德互不侵犯條約》，是“不道德的”，但他重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)在納粹1941年決定撕毀蘇德同盟、入侵蘇聯(lián)之后，蘇聯(lián)所遭受的損失。他指出，上世紀(jì)30年代，還有其它許多國家與納粹德國簽訂過條約。

By contrast, Ms Merkel addressed more than 20 world leaders attending the ceremonies in Gdansk, saying: “I pay tribute to the 60m people who lost their lives in this war unleashed by Germany.” The scars remained today, she added.

與此形成對比的是，默克爾在向參加紀(jì)念活動的20多位各國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人發(fā)表講話時表示：“我為在由德國發(fā)動的戰(zhàn)爭中喪生的6千萬人默哀。”戰(zhàn)爭的傷痕今天依然存在，她補(bǔ)充道。

The Gdansk memorial was in honour of the Polish defenders of Westerplatte military base, which came under fire from the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein on September 1 1939.

格但斯克的二戰(zhàn)英雄紀(jì)念碑是為紀(jì)念維斯特布拉德半島軍事基地的波蘭保衛(wèi)者而建立的。1939年9月1日，德國戰(zhàn)艦“石勒蘇益格-荷爾斯泰因號”(Schleswig-Holstein)向該軍事基地開炮。

In an earlier meeting with Donald Tusk, Poland's prime minister, Mr Putin pointed out that Poland had signed a non-aggression treaty with Germany in 1934, and that leading European powers had agreed to the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia in 1938.

在稍早前與波蘭總理唐納德•圖斯克(Donald Tusk)會晤期間，普京指出，波蘭與德國曾在1934年簽署了一項(xiàng)互不侵犯條約，而歐洲列強(qiáng)在1938年同意分裂捷克斯洛伐克。

Mr Tusk, was has been careful not to play up tensions with Russia, responded, saying: “The Ribbentrop-Molotov pact led to the attack on Poland.”

一直小心翼翼、避免激化波蘭與俄羅斯緊張關(guān)系的圖斯克回答道：“是《蘇德互不侵犯條約》導(dǎo)致了波蘭遭到攻擊。”

Polish feelings were further inflamed when speakers at a Moscow conference yesterday accused Poland of collaborating with Germany before the war.

昨日在莫斯科舉行的一個會議上，發(fā)言者指責(zé)波蘭在戰(zhàn)前與德國勾結(jié)，這進(jìn)一步激怒了波蘭人的情緒。

Lech Kaczynski, Poland's president, was even more open about his views of the Soviet Union than Mr Tusk, comparing the murder of more than 20,000 Polish officers by Soviet forces to the Holocaust. “Jews died because they were Jews; Polish officers because they were Poles,” he said.

波蘭總統(tǒng)萊赫•卡欽斯基(Lech Kaczynski)比圖斯克更加坦率地表達(dá)了自己對蘇聯(lián)的看法。他將蘇聯(lián)軍隊(duì)殺害逾2萬名波蘭軍官，與納粹對猶太人的大屠殺相提并論。他表示：“猶太人被害，是因?yàn)樗麄兪仟q太人；波蘭軍官被害，是因?yàn)樗麄兪遣ㄌm人。”
