Your recent editing history at Great Patriotic War (term) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * The "Great Patriotic War" narrative is a distortion of history for political reasons, so the categories are appropriate, you should stop removing them. -- 2804:248:FBB1:9700:509C:6DC4:64C1:FE2F (talk) 21:59, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your opinion, but first please take a look at WP:V. Mellk (talk) 23:32, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Except it is not my opinion, there are many sources which talk about this:

 * Those are just some sources. The myth of the "Great Patriotic War" was first born in the Brezhnev era as a means of legitimacy to the regime, it was even used to legitimize the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia, so there are political reasons for it, it is not a coincidence that Putin evokes it to justify his war in Ukraine, it would also be appropriate to add a section to the article about how it was born and how it distorts history, but as you can see, it is not my opinion only. -- 2804:248:FBB1:9700:509C:6DC4:64C1:FE2F (talk) 00:59, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
