The video which shows the destruction of monuments to Soviet soldiers who liberated the people of Poland from the fascists caused a huge resonance in social networks, NewsBalt reports.
In three days the number of views exceeded 70 thousand. Most of them - about 45 thousand - were made by Facebook users, another 15 thousand people saw it on Twitter. The rest of the views came from Russian social networks Odnoklassniki and VK.
Internet users in Poland reposted the video to their pages. Many of them expressed their regrets to Russians, saying that they were ashamed of the politicians who allowed such things. Poles believe that only "freaks and traitors" can do this.
Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Maria Zakharova also reposted the video. According to her, the footage represented “the history which the world is losing.”
The residents of other countries were also outraged by the vandalism. They left commets in English, French and Czech, calling the elimination of monuments "Nazi world order."

The Polish authorities, who follow the law banning the propaganda of communism, are going to demolish 450 monuments in the future, the Institute of National Memory of Poland states.
