History as a matter of diplomacy

From another cable released on Wikileaks, revealing the relations between history and foreign affairs:

Subjects discussed on the occasion of the visit to Moscow of the minister of Foreign Affairs of the state of Israel, Avigdor Liebernamn:

"Lavrov (Serghei, the Russian top diplomat) raised Russian concern with "historical revisionism" regarding the Soviet Era and Second World War, which, he said, was particularly acute in Eastern Europe but was also present in Israel. He cited Israel's official recognition of the Holodomor, the 1930s famine that occurred in Ukraine. Lieberman explained that by recognizing this tragedy, Israel had not said Russia was guilty of causing it, nor that it was an act of genocide”.
