The Russian Foreign Ministry has called on the Polish government to stop fighting with the monuments of Soviet soldiers. According to the representative of the Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, it is necessary to bring to justice vandals who insult the memory of the liberators who sacrified their lives for the freedom of the Polish people, TASS reports.

On the eve of the anniversary Victory Day in Poznan, unknown attackers threw down a stove installed on the mass grave of the fallen Red Army soldiers at the cemetery. Zakharova recalled that the actions of the vandals are particularly cynical, since the grave was desecrated on the eve of the great holiday, holy for millions of people.

Warsaw constantly repeats mantras that Poland remains committed to traditions and complies with the agreement on the worthy preservation of the memory of the fallen, the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted. Nevertheless, the authorities do not deviate from the course aimed at falsifying history, and thereby escalate the atmosphere of absolute permissiveness and connivance.

It is unfortunate, but all this turns into a motivating base for such disgusting antics in relation to Soviet memorial objects, Maria Zakharova summed up.

According to the Russian ambassador to Warsaw, Sergey Andreev, since 2014, the Polish authorities demolished about a hundred monuments to Soviet soldiers. Now monuments are being destroyed secretly, without attracting the attention of the public and the media to these facts. The senior diplomat explained that the country has lost hundreds of monuments.
