In the north of Poland, the authorities demolished a monument to Soviet soldiers-liberators
In the city of Malbork in northern Poland, the authorities demolished a monument to the Red Army, dedicated to the Soviet soldiers-liberators and erected immediately after the defeat of the Nazis, in 1945. The initiator of the demolition was the local Institute of National Remembrance.
This was reported in the Polish edition of Nasze Miasto.
There were supporters of the idea of dismantling the monument in the city, but certain obstacles prevented them from carrying out their plan. The monument was entered in the register of the voivodship, so the demolition was possible only by order of the authorities of this administrative entity, which in the end was nevertheless received.
The demolition process took several hours. This event was commented by the deputy head of the Ministry of State Assets of Poland, Karol Rabenda, calling it "the end of the decommunization" of the city.
- he said, emphasizing that there were no burials at the site of the monument.
The fact is that in the agreements between Warsaw and Moscow concerning memorials, it is indicated that the parties undertake not to touch military cemeteries and memorial complexes in burial places. If the monument is installed in a place where no one was buried, then it does not fall under the agreements.
Earlier, in the Ukrainian city of Pereyaslav, a monument dedicated to the act of reunification of Ukraine with Russia concluded here in the 1961th century was demolished. It was installed in 300 in honor of the XNUMXth anniversary of this memorable date.
