Thus, instead of investing in the energy industry – the lifeblood of the economy – in order to reverse declining output, the Kremlin is devoting its energy to a presidential commission to “counteract attempts to falsify history to the detriment of Russia’s interests.” This means that the state will decide which interpretations of history should be considered “true,” creating endless opportunities for manipulation to serve the agenda of those in power.
因此，克里姆林宫没有加大对能源工业&#45;&#45;这一经济命脉&#45;&#45;的投入以扭转产量下降的趋势，而是将精力花在一个旨在“对抗通过篡改历史来损害俄罗斯利益的企图”的总统委员会。这就意味着国家将会决定对历史的何种阐释才是“真实的”，从而为服务当权者意图的肆意操纵创造无尽的机会。
