Russian denial

I read this book during the summer, and the evidence seems to be very clear that Russia figured largely in the Six Day War. This is now common knowledge, at least in the West.

Having lived in Moscow from 1992 to 1995, putting up with tapped telephones in our homes, and witnessing the October 3rd 1993 coup d'etat, I can surely believe that any denial of involvement is just a way of preserving the lives of the ones involved. Many people lie to save their skins and Russian pilots are no exception.
