PM in Poland for WW2 commemorations Historian Momcilo Pavlovic believes that the causes of the outbreak of World War II were multiform, including, primarily, unresolved political and national issues dating back to World War I, state egoism, and aggressive approaches to addressing international relations at the time. He told B92 that many controversies from that historical period lingered to this day. “The victor’s view and the less Westernized view of history continue to dominate, so it’s no accident that Russian media, the Russian president himself and the scientific public talk up the role of the Red Army."
