MOSCOW. Dec 20 (Interfax) - The Kremlin has called for respect for the history of Russia, including its special services.
Russia marks Security Services Day on December 20.
"Our history is the history of our state, our people. And everything that was bad and good about it - all these things are our heritage, with which we have to live, regardless of what it might be," Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters, commenting on the negative attitude to the Russian security agencies in the West.
"We all should be proud of our history because only if we give tribute to our history, respect it, only that will enable us to look to the future with confidence, which we are doing," he said.
