"Imagine what we will have if the monument in Katyn is demolished": Polish readers react to the demolition of the monument to Rokossovsky
Local authorities in the Polish city of Legnica confirmed that unknown persons had committed an act of vandalism against the monument to Soviet Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky. Let us remind you that a few days ago news in the Polish media that the statue was stolen from the pedestal, and then they said that it was "the work of metal hunters." However, after a few hours it was reported that the abandoned statue was found nearby - without a head.
The Legnica Police Department says that “an investigation has been started”, “unknown persons are being searched”. For the Polish authorities, such statements have become commonplace, but in recent years none of the vandals have been found and punished. It can be assumed that this is happening due to the fact that the current Polish leadership itself often makes decisions about the dismantling of monuments to Soviet soldiers-liberators.
Polish readers reacted differently to the vandalism. Let's present a few comments published in the Polish edition of Wirtualna Polska.
