白乐 任冠虹:铭记历史记忆 昭示未来之路
From May 7 to 10, President Xi Jinping paid a state visit to Russia and attended the commemorative ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory in the Great Patriotic War. This was President Xi Jinping's 11th visit to Russia since assuming the presidency. This meeting marked another major interaction in Sino-Russian relations, sending multiple signals. It was regarded as a journey to deepen friendship and share weal and woe, a journey to remember history and create the future, sparking enthusiastic responses in academic circles both at home and abroad.
5月7—10日,习近平主席对俄罗斯进行国事访问,并出席纪念苏联伟大卫国战争胜利80周年庆典。这是习近平主席担任国家主席以来第11次到访俄罗斯。此次会晤标志着中俄关系的又一次重大互动,释放出多重信号,被视为一次深化友谊、同舟共济之旅,一次铭记历史、开创未来之旅,在海内外学术界引发热烈反响。
The year 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War, and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Looking back at history, China and Russia, as the main battlefields of World War II in Asia and Europe, made decisive contributions to winning the World Anti-Fascist War and erected a historical monument. At this critical juncture where history and reality intersect, President Xi Jinping's visit to Russia not only injects strong momentum into the development of Sino-Russian relations but also sets a good example for jointly safeguarding the victorious achievements of World War II. As major world powers and permanent members of the UN Security Council, regardless of how the international situation changes, China and Russia will persist in being guardians of historical memory and companions on the path of development and rejuvenation, injecting stability and positive energy into international relations. The efforts made by China and Russia in working together to promote the historical perspective on World War II are evident to all and still hold valuable enlightening significance for building a peaceful world.
2025年正值中国人民抗日战争、苏联伟大卫国战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年,也是联合国成立80周年。回望历史,中俄两国作为第二次世界大战的亚洲和欧洲主战场,为赢得世界反法西斯战争胜利作出了决定性贡献,铸就了历史丰碑。在历史与现实交汇的关键时刻,习近平主席的俄罗斯之行,不仅为中俄关系发展注入强劲动力,也为共同维护二战胜利成果树立良好表率。作为世界主要大国和联合国安理会常任理事国,无论国际风云如何变幻,中俄都将坚持做历史记忆的守护者、发展振兴的同行者,为国际关系注入稳定性和正能量。中俄携手共进,为弘扬二战史观作出的努力有目共睹,对于建设和平世界仍具有宝贵启迪意义。
An Important Meeting at a Special Historical Juncture
历史特殊节点的重要会晤
Reviewing history and commemorating martyrs. The special timing of this visit is particularly noteworthy. International academic circles believe that the commemorative ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory in the Great Patriotic War is a major event in Russian politics and diplomacy. The attendance of Chinese leaders at related activities is the best support for Russia and a vivid manifestation of the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a New Era. Standing at a new starting point, as good neighbors who trust each other and true friends who share weal and woe, China and Russia uphold the spirit of good-neighborliness and friendship, leading bilateral relations toward an even more brilliant future.
重温历史、缅怀先烈。此访的特殊时间节点尤为值得关注。国际学术界认为,纪念苏联伟大卫国战争胜利80周年庆典是俄罗斯政治和外交的一个重大事件,中国领导人出席相关活动是对俄罗斯的最佳支持,也是中俄新时代全面战略协作伙伴关系的生动体现。站在新起点上,作为彼此信赖的好邻居、患难与共的真朋友,中俄秉持睦邻友好的精神,引领双方关系迈向更加辉煌的未来。
"This is an important visit in a special year." Boris Guseletov, a senior researcher at the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told reporters that President Xi Jinping's visit to Russia carries multiple meanings. In particular, this trip coincides with important milestones such as the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. These events have rich historical backgrounds and symbolic significance and are milestone events affecting international relations.
“这是一次特殊年份的重要访问。”俄罗斯科学院欧洲研究所高级研究员鲍里斯·古谢列托夫(Boris Guseletov)对记者表示,习近平主席此次到访俄罗斯,蕴含多重含义。尤其是此行正值世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年、联合国成立80周年等重要节点,这些事件具有丰富的历史背景和象征意义,是影响国际关系的里程碑事件。
Guseletov stated that this meeting has attracted worldwide attention and drawn external interest, and the "special historical juncture" at which it occurs is particularly worth savoring. Being invited to attend the commemorative ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory in the Great Patriotic War in Moscow is an important part of President Xi Jinping's visit and a natural part of China and Russia's mutual support in holding commemorative activities for the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. This is not only a gesture of diplomatic respect but also conveys a signal of deepening political mutual trust and strategic coordination between China and Russia.
古谢列托夫表示,此次会晤备受世界瞩目,牵动外界目光,其正逢的“特殊历史节点”尤为值得品味。应邀出席在莫斯科举行的纪念苏联伟大卫国战争胜利80周年庆典,是习近平主席此访的一项重要内容,也是中俄相互支持举办世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年纪念活动的应有之义。这不仅是一种外交礼仪上的尊重,也传递出中俄双方深化政治互信和战略协作的信号。
Rodionov Alexey A., Deputy Director of the Department of Oriental Studies at St. Petersburg State University and a professor of Sinology, said in an interview with reporters that all sectors of Russian society attach great importance to President Xi Jinping's visit to Russia and have many long-term expectations.
俄罗斯圣彼得堡大学东方系常务副主任、汉学教授罗流沙(Rodionov Alexey A.)在接受记者采访时表示,俄罗斯社会各界高度重视习近平主席到访俄罗斯,并怀有许多长远期待。“习近平主席受邀出席红场阅兵式,表明中国和俄罗斯保护历史真理、反对一切改写历史的意愿与尝试。这意味着俄罗斯和中国不允许二战的惨痛教训重演。”罗流沙说。
"This is the face-to-face meeting between the two heads of state in 2025, reflecting the leap in the strategic partnership between the two countries in recent years, marking a new chapter in the history of their interactions, and continuing to lead China-Russia relations to higher ground with a broader vision." Guselétov exclaimed that this meeting is not only a key milestone in the history of China-Russia relations but also a significant event in global politics. Against the backdrop of the world facing numerous challenges such as economic sanctions, conflicts, and climate change, the meeting between the two leaders demonstrates the willingness to further strengthen coordination and cooperation.
“这是2025年两国元首面对面会晤,体现了近年来两国战略伙伴关系的跃升,标志着双方互动翻开新的史册,将继续引领中俄关系登高望远。”古谢列托夫感叹道,此次会晤不仅是中俄关系史上的关键里程碑,也是全球政坛的重要事件。在当前世界面临经济制裁、冲突、气候变化等诸多挑战的背景下,两国领导人举行会晤,体现了进一步加强协调与合作的意愿。
Jointly Defending the Historical View of World War II
共同捍卫二战史观
Taking history as a mirror, drawing wisdom from it. Looking back over the long river of history, 80 years ago, the peoples of China and Russia made tremendous sacrifices, fought side by side, supported each other, and made historic contributions to the cause of maintaining world peace and human progress that will be recorded in the annals of history. Remembering the history of World War II, filled with suffering and blood, and defending the fruits of victory in the war, is to better safeguard the hard-won post-war peaceful international order.
以史为鉴,汲取智慧。纵观历史长河,80年前,中俄两国人民付出巨大牺牲,并肩作战、相互支援,为维护世界和平与人类进步事业作出彪炳史册的历史贡献。铭记充斥着苦难与鲜血的二战历史,捍卫战争胜利成果,是为了更好地维护来之不易的战后和平国际秩序。
On April 23, the "Unforgettable Commemoration — China-Russia (Soviet Union) Photo Exhibition Marking the 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War" was held in Moscow, Russia. The photo exhibition, themed "Unforgettable Commemoration," is structured around three chapters: "Memory of the War," "Friendship Forged in Blood," and "Eternal Commemoration." It displays a total of 80 precious photographs, restoring and recreating the historical memory of the two countries' bloody battles in the World Anti-Fascist War.
4月23日,“不能忘却的纪念——中俄(苏)纪念世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年图片展”在俄罗斯莫斯科举行。图片展以“不能忘却的纪念”为主题,围绕“战争的记忆”“鲜血铸就的友谊”“永远的纪念”三个篇章,共展出80幅珍贵图片,还原并再现了两国在世界反法西斯战争中浴血奋战的历史记忆。
Guselétov stated that both China and Russia possess splendid civilizations, and the Chinese and Russian nations are great nations bearing profound histories. The friendship between China and Russia has a long history; they supported each other during the arduous war years and forged a deep partnership. Both sides made tremendous sacrifices in the World Anti-Fascist War. Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people advanced wave upon wave, composing a great chapter in the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. The Soviet Red Army also surged forward with iron will, smashing the Nazi invaders and writing the magnificent epic of the victory in the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War.
古谢列托夫表示,中国和俄罗斯均拥有灿烂文明,中华民族和俄罗斯民族都是承载厚重历史的伟大民族。中俄两国友谊源远流长,曾经在艰苦的战争岁月中相互扶持,结下深厚伙伴情谊。双方在世界反法西斯战争中都付出了巨大牺牲。在中国共产党坚强领导下,中国人民前赴后继,谱写了抗日战争胜利的伟大篇章。苏联红军也以钢铁般的意志奋勇而上,击碎了纳粹侵略者,书写了苏联伟大卫国战争胜利的壮丽史诗。
"The victory 80 years ago demonstrated the power of human conscience and spiritual unity. We commemorate the victory not only to remember the martyrs but also to draw lessons from it, take history as a mirror, and illuminate the path forward for humanity," Guselétov said.
“80年前的那场胜利,彰显了人类良知和精神团结的力量。我们纪念胜利,不仅是为了缅怀先烈,更是为了从中吸取经验、以史为鉴,照亮人类前行的道路。”古谢列托夫说。
Zhang Hong, a researcher at the Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told reporters that this meeting reflects the common vision of the two countries on the historical issues of World War II. The current international order is facing multiple shocks, which are associated with the rise of unilateralism and hegemonism in the international community, deviating from the multilateral cooperation international order established after World War II. The original intention of China and Russia in commemorating history is to uphold the authority and status of the United Nations and defend the international mechanism of multilateralism.
中国社会科学院俄罗斯东欧中亚研究所研究员张弘对记者表示,此次会晤体现了两国在二战历史问题上的共同愿景。当今国际秩序正面临多重冲击,与国际社会出现的单边主义和霸权主义抬头关联,背离了二战后建立的多边合作的国际秩序。中国和俄罗斯纪念历史的初衷,在于维护联合国权威和地位,捍卫多边主义的国际机制。
"Those who do not reflect on history will be blind to reality." Zhang Hong believes that defending the correct historical view of World War II is to uphold multilateralism. The victory in World War II was the result of multilateral cooperation among people of different systems and beliefs, promoting the liberation of the peoples of Asia, Africa, and Latin America from the oppression of colonialism and imperialism, and embarking on the journey of national liberation and peaceful development. Therefore, maintaining the correct historical view of World War II is to maintain world peace and avoid repeating the catastrophe of a world war. Upholding the historical achievements of World War II also means defending the correct view of the international order. The painful lesson of World War II proves that the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest are not the way for human coexistence, and the pursuit of power politics and hegemonism is not a strategy for peace. The distortion of post-World War II historical issues by some countries and politicians, manipulating historical, ethnic, and religious issues, is one of the important factors leading to the continuous escalation of geopolitical conflicts. Whether it is the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War or China's War of Resistance, neither could have succeeded without the unity and support of the international community. Without the cooperation of the global anti-fascist alliance, there would have been no victory in World War II. The post-war institutional construction also proves that multilateral cooperation is not an expedient measure in power games, but a civilized consciousness formed by humanity after paying a heavy price.
“谁不反思历史,谁就会对现实盲目。”张弘认为,捍卫正确二战史观就是维护多边主义。二战胜利是不同制度和不同信仰人民多边合作的结果,促进了亚非拉人民摆脱殖民主义和帝国主义的压迫,踏上民族解放与和平发展的征途。因此,维护正确二战史观就是维护世界和平,避免重蹈世界大战的覆辙。维护二战历史成果,也即捍卫正确的国际秩序观。二战的惨痛教训证明了:弱肉强食、丛林法则不是人类共存之道,追求强权政治和霸权主义不是和平之策。一些国家和政客颠覆二战后的历史问题,操控历史、民族和宗教问题,是导致地缘冲突持续升级的重要因素之一。无论苏联卫国战争,还是中国抗战,都离不开国际社会的团结和支持。没有全球反法西斯联盟的合作,就不会有二战的胜利。战后制度构建也证明,多边合作不是强权博弈的权宜之计,而是人类在付出惨重代价后形成的文明自觉。
"Incorrect Historical View of World War II" Misleads Public Perception
“错误二战史观”误导公众认知
The memory and truth of history will not fade with the passage of time; instead, they will become more significant over time. Currently, there are discordant voices in the West distorting the truth of World War II history and denying the fruits of victory in World War II. Furthermore, the historical contributions of China and the Soviet Union in defeating fascist forces are being downplayed or even distorted in Western narratives. This selective memory in the West misleads the public's understanding of history. Some scholars summarize this as "incorrect historical views of World War II" such as "the theory of ignoring China" and "the theory of Western centrism."
历史的记忆与真相不会随着岁月流逝而褪色,反而将历久弥新。当前,西方出现了歪曲二战历史真相、否定二战胜利成果的杂音。此外,中苏在打败法西斯势力的历史功绩在西方叙事中被弱化甚至歪曲,西方的选择性记忆误导了公众对历史的认知。一些学者将此总结为“忽视中国说”“西方中心说”等“错误二战史观”。
Zhang Hong believes that the “theory of neglecting China” and the “theory of Western centrality” are rooted in post-World War II Western hegemonism. Such erroneous statements attempt to exaggerate the West’s contributions while downplaying or even smearing China’s contributions in the Asian theater of World War II. Currently, right-wing forces and political parties in some countries are trying to blur and distort World War II history through various means, promoting racist and xenophobic ideologies. Some politicians, in order to gain political benefits, do not hesitate to “apply makeup” to fascism. These erroneous ideas not only lead to domestic political division but also undermine the open and pluralistic values established after World War II.
张弘认为,“忽视中国说”“西方中心说”植根于二战后西方霸权主义。此类错误言论试图夸大西方的贡献、淡化甚至抹黑中国在二战亚洲战场中作出的贡献。目前,一些国家的右翼势力和政党试图通过各种手段模糊、扭曲二战历史,宣传种族主义和排外意识形态。一些政客为了攫取政治利益,不惜为法西斯主义“涂脂抹粉”。这些错误思想不仅导致了国内政治分裂,也造成对二战后开放多元价值观的破坏。
Aleksandar Mitić, a researcher at the “Belt and Road Initiative Research Center” of the Institute of International Politics and Economics in Belgrade, Serbia, told reporters that China, Russia, and Serbia were all major forces in the fight against Nazism, fascism, and militarism during World War II, and were key contributors to the victory. “Therefore, we not only have the full right to jointly celebrate this great victory, but also have the obligation, for the sake of the victims, heroes, and their descendants, to defend correct values and historical truth, and to resist any form of historical revisionism.”
塞尔维亚贝尔格莱德国际政治经济研究所“一带一路研究中心”研究员亚历山大·米蒂奇(Aleksandar Mitic′)对记者称,无论是中国、俄罗斯还是塞尔维亚,都是二战中对抗纳粹主义、法西斯主义和军国主义的主要力量,也是取得胜利的关键贡献者。“因此,我们不仅有充分的权利共同庆祝这一伟大胜利,而且有义务为了那些受害者、英雄及其后代,捍卫正确的价值观与历史真相,抵制任何形式的历史修正主义。”
Mitić cited his personal experience as an example: “During my work experience in Western and Central Europe over the past two decades, I have observed some worrying trends. In the European Parliament in Brussels, with the accession of new member states from Eastern and Central Europe to the European Union, I have seen a tendency to try to downplay the Soviet Union’s contribution to the anti-fascist war and to equate fascism and communism as ‘totalitarian ideologies.’ Furthermore, I have personally witnessed the dismantling of monuments to Soviet liberators in Eastern European countries like the Czech Republic. It is unacceptable that such an important historical event is being manipulated by geopolitics.”
米蒂奇以其亲身经历举例称,“在过去二十年间西欧和中欧的工作经历中,我观察到一些令人担忧的趋势。在布鲁塞尔举行的欧洲议会中,随着东欧和中欧新成员国加入欧盟,我看到了一种倾向,即试图淡化苏联在反法西斯战争中的贡献,并试图将法西斯主义和共产主义等同为‘极权主义意识形态’。此外,我亲眼见证了在捷克共和国等东欧国家拆除苏军解放者纪念碑的行为。如此重要的历史事件被地缘政治操控,令人难以接受”。
Li Xing, Director of the European Studies Center at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, believes that within the Western-dominated system of information dissemination, academic research, and international discourse formed after the Cold War, the historical contributions of China and the Soviet Union in World War II have been continuously marginalized, downplayed, and even distorted. Western “historical revisionism” is a naked falsification of history, constructing the meaning of World War II with erroneous logic, politicizing and instrumentalizing history to serve contemporary geopolitical strategic games. Against this backdrop, China and Russia insist on upholding the historical conclusions of international justice judgments such as the Nuremberg Trials and the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, and both countries adhere to the authority of international law and the global justice order.
广东外语外贸大学欧洲研究中心主任李形认为,在冷战后形成的西方主导的信息传播、学术研究和国际话语体系中,中苏两国在二战中的历史贡献被不断边缘化、淡化,甚至被歪曲。西方“历史修正主义”是对历史赤裸裸的篡改,以错误的逻辑建构二战意义,将历史政治化、工具化,以服务当代地缘战略博弈。在此背景下,中俄坚持维护纽伦堡审判、远东国际军事法庭等国际正义判决的历史结论,两国坚守国际法权威与全球正义秩序。
“People should not forget that the post-war international order was established with the United Nations as its core institution, whose legitimacy stems from the justice of the anti-fascist war and the contributions of participating countries. China and Russia cannot accept the West’s one-sided interpretation of World War II history. This is not only about defending historical truth but also about upholding national dignity and the legitimacy of the international order,” Li Xing said.
“人们不应忘记,战后国际秩序的建立以联合国为核心机构,其合法性源于反法西斯战争的正义性和参与国的贡献。中俄不能接受西方对二战历史的片面解读,这不仅关乎对历史真相的捍卫,更关乎对国家尊严与国际秩序正当性的坚守。”李形说。
Acting with Responsibility as Major Countries
作为负责任大国挺膺担当
Uniting efforts and forging ahead with determination. During this meeting, the two heads of state jointly witnessed the exchange of more than 20 bilateral cooperation documents between China and Russia, covering areas such as global strategic stability, upholding the authority of international law, biosecurity, investment protection, the digital economy, quarantine, and film cooperation. In the future, China and Russia will strengthen coordination and collaboration within multilateral platforms such as the United Nations, APEC, BRICS, and the G20, supporting the process of world multipolarity.
凝心聚力、笃定前行。此次会晤中,两国元首共同见证中俄双方交换20多份双边合作文本,涵盖全球战略稳定、维护国际法权威、生物安全、投资保护、数字经济、检疫、电影合作等领域。未来,中俄将加强在联合国、亚太经合组织、金砖国家、二十国集团等多边平台的协调和配合,支持世界多极化进程。
Zhang Hong stated that the joint statement issued by China and Russia on global strategic stability marks a new height in China-Russia strategic mutual trust. Since the end of the Cold War, the scale of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries has continuously expanded, with bilateral trade volume reaching a historic high. Areas of cooperation have started from commodity trade, industrial chain cooperation, and infrastructure, gradually expanding to cooperation in internet e-commerce, service trade, and financial settlement, exploring new areas of cooperation such as expanding investment, technology, and the development and construction of the Arctic shipping route. In recent years, China-Russia cooperation has withstood the pressure of Western sanctions, maintaining a vigorous development momentum in the alignment of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union.
张弘表示,中俄发表了关于全球战略稳定的联合声明,标志着中俄战略互信迈上新高度。冷战结束后,两国经贸规模不断扩大,双边贸易额规模创下历史新高,合作领域从商品贸易、产业链合作和基础设施开始,逐步扩大至互联网电商、服务贸易、金融结算方面的合作,探索扩大投资、科技和北极航道开发建设等合作新领域。近年来,中俄合作顶住了西方制裁的压力,在共建“一带一路”和欧亚经济联盟对接方面保持蓬勃发展势头。
Guseletov believes that China and Russia have common interests in the economic, security, and international political fields. “In recent years, we have seen an increase in trade between the two countries, as well as an increase in cooperation projects in the fields of energy, high technology, and infrastructure. Both countries oppose unilateral actions by Western countries and emphasize the importance of a multipolar world, which has also become a main topic of this visit. Bilateral cooperation also affects the political dynamics of Asia and the entire international stage. The China-Russia relationship profoundly influences the world pattern and the balance of power on the global political landscape. The importance of face-to-face meetings between leaders lies in the ability to establish deeper connections and trust through this method, facilitating new agreements and joint projects.”
古谢列托夫认为,中俄在经济、安全、国际政治等领域有着共同利益。“近年来,我们看到两国之间的贸易有所增加,在能源、高新技术和基础设施领域的合作项目也有所增加。两国都反对西方国家的单边行动,并强调多极世界的重要性,这也成为此次访问的主要议题。双方合作还影响着亚洲乃至整个国际舞台的政治动态。中俄关系深刻影响着世界格局,也影响着全球政治版图的力量平衡。领导人面对面会晤的重要性在于,通过这一方式,可以建立更深层次的联系和信任,促成新的协议和联合项目。”
“Taking this meeting as an opportunity, both sides will not only strengthen coordination and collaboration within multilateral frameworks such as the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and BRICS, but will also jointly shoulder the special responsibilities as major world powers and permanent members of the UN Security Council, upholding the international system centered on the United Nations. This responsibility is entrusted by the times and is a manifestation of China and Russia acting with responsibility as major countries,” Guseletov further added.
“以此次会晤为契机,双方不仅将加强在联合国、上海合作组织、金砖国家等多边框架内的协调和配合,也将共同肩负起作为世界大国和联合国安理会常任理事国的特殊责任,维护以联合国为核心的国际体系。这一责任是时代赋予的,也是中俄作为负责任大国挺膺担当的表现。”古谢列托夫进一步补充道。
The Path to Maintaining Peace Is Long and Arduous
维护和平之路任重道远
Sharing hardships and crossing mountains together. Eighty years later, unilateralism, hegemonic, and bullying acts are deeply harmful. Humanity once again stands at a crossroads of unity or division, dialogue or confrontation, win-win or zero-sum. The world today has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation. Against the complex and volatile international situation, as a stable, positive, and progressive force in the international community, the China-Russia relationship injects a touch of brightness into coping with the uncertainties of the external environment.
风雨同渡、关山共越。80年后的今天,单边主义、霸权霸凌行径危害深重。人类又一次站在了团结还是分裂、对话还是对抗、共赢还是零和的十字路口。当今世界进入新的动荡变革期,在国际局势纷繁复杂的背景下,作为国际社会的稳定、积极、进步力量,中俄关系为应对外部环境的不确定性注入了一抹亮色。
“History and reality have fully proven that continuously developing and deepening the China-Russia relationship is a necessary step in carrying forward the generations-long friendship between the two peoples, an inevitable choice for mutual achievement and promoting each other’s development and revitalization, and the call of the times to defend international fairness and justice and advance the reform of the global governance system.” President Xi Jinping’s words were forceful and resounding, echoing in the ears of the Chinese and Russian peoples.
“历史和现实充分证明,持续发展和深化中俄关系,是传承两国人民世代友好的应有之义,是双方彼此成就、促进各自发展振兴的必然选择,也是捍卫国际公平正义、推进全球治理体系改革的时代呼唤。”习近平主席的话语铿锵有力,回响在中俄两国人民耳畔。
“We are experiencing the most conflict-ridden era since the end of World War II. If timely action is not taken, humanity will suffer further losses and pain,” Mitić lamented. “We must also seriously reflect on and examine the importance of preserving the objective historical memory of World War II. Revisionist forces may rebound, but they must be defeated.”
“我们正在经历自二战结束以来冲突最多的年代,如果不采取及时行动,人类会进一步遭受损失与痛苦。”米蒂奇感叹道,“我们也必须认真反思、审视关于维护二战客观历史记忆的重要性。修正主义势力可能会反弹,但必须被击败”。
Mitić believes that the historical memory of World War II is both an alarm bell and a harbinger of the determination of China and Russia. The proposition that “security is indivisible,” as well as concepts such as opposing the expansion and spread of military alliances, are highly valued by China. The Global Security Initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping is an important intellectual contribution to promoting a win-win security pattern.
米蒂奇认为,二战的历史记忆既是警钟,也是中俄决心的预示。“安全不可分割”这一主张,以及反对军事联盟的扩张和蔓延等理念,受到中国的高度重视。习近平主席提出的全球安全倡议是推动共赢安全格局的一项重要思想贡献。
The path to maintaining peace is tortuous, arduous, and long. “China and Russia support multipolarity and true multilateralism, always treating each other as equals and pursuing mutual benefit and win-win outcomes. Russia and China always stand side by side, which signifies the hope of diminishing world hegemonic and imperialist forces, and also means a more harmonious, stable, and beautiful planet,” said Luo Liusha.
维护和平之路曲折艰辛、任重道远。“中俄两国支持多极化与真正多边主义,始终平等相待、互利共赢。俄罗斯和中国始终并肩同行,意味着世界霸权主义势力、帝国主义势力消解的希望, 也意味着一个更为和谐、稳定、美好的地球家园。”罗流沙说。
The Russian writer Leo Tolstoy wrote in *War and Peace*: “History is the biography of nations and humanity.” Light will surely dispel darkness, and justice will ultimately triumph over evil. “China and Russia share a common vision of promoting the process of world multipolarity. Taking this summit of heads of state as an opportunity, the vision and actions of China and Russia to jointly uphold the fairness and justice of international relations are particularly precious,” Guseletov concluded.
俄国作家列夫·托尔斯泰在《战争与和平》中写道:“历史是国家和人类的传记。”光明必将驱散黑暗、正义终将战胜邪恶。“中俄拥有一个推动世界多极化进程的共同愿景。以此次元首会晤为契机,中俄双方携手维护国际关系的公平正义愿景与行动,尤显弥足珍贵。”古谢列托夫总结道。
