The article provides examples of anti-sovietism motivated sympathies of Western political circles for fascist-type regimes in the interwar period. It is concluded that in order to combat the falsification of history and the distortion of information through the memory and identity politics implemented by a number of states, it is necessary to study and widely publicize the historical, socio-political and diplomatic circumstances of the policy of Western countries on the eve of the Second World War. An important condition for the fight against falsification of history and tendentious coverage of historical facts is to identify the real essence and conditions for the emergence of political regimes of the fascist type in a specific historical context, as well as to counteract attempts of modern interpretations of the essence of fascism, taken out of context and dictated by the tasks of the current political situation, propaganda and information warfare aimed at distorting the historical role of the Soviet Union and undermining the “soft” power and value sovereignty of the Russian Federation as a successor state.
