   This is what you expect from Russia. From China. From North Korea. From authoritarian regimes that exercise full control over their population and control what information reaches them. This 1984-style rewriting of history is deeply troubling.
   
   We're used to lies from Trump and his administration, but blatantly and so obviously attempting to conceal actual history---where so many other accounts exist, and where so many people were present---is a new low. And a stupid one at that, considering it is so easily refuted.
