Russia demands of Poland to punish vandals who desecrated Soviet soldiers’ memorial


06.10.2017

Russian Foreign MinistryRussia demanded of Polish authorities to restore the desecrated memorial in honor of the Soviet soldiers, find and punish the vandals, TASS reports.

Another act of vandalism against the memorial of liberators evokes great indignation, as per Russian Foreign Ministry. Unknown criminals put a plate with insulting inscription to the memorial in honor of soldiers who died liberating these lands of the fascist invaders.

Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation stresses out that the inscription says about Soviet occupants and holocaust of Polish people, which coincides with the official position of Warsaw.

According to the ministry, thoroughly cultivated position about alleged responsibility of Hitler’s aggressors and USSR for beginning the World War II contradicts the historical truth and gives criminals the ground of false patriotism.

Monuments to liberators of Poland are constantly desecrated by vandals. For example, unknown criminals desecrated memorial cemetery with graves of more than twenty thousand Soviet soldiers in the early hours of 19th of September.

A bronze slab set at the postament of concrete before the monument to warriors perished liberating Poland of Fascism was barbarously broken in Sosnowiec, Poland in the early hours of 11 of September.

As the Russkiy Mir Foundation reported earlier, the Polish parliament has approved amendments to the law about decommunization, which implies pulling down hundreds of monuments allegedly praising the Soviet regime on June 22.

All monuments will be pulled down within a year. Overall, there are one and a half thousand memorials; about a half of them is dedicated to the Red Army.
