Unidentified smashed a marble plaque with the inscription "Glory to the Red Army - the liberator of Poland from the yoke of the German fascist invaders", scattering its fragments over the cemetery.
“Of particular concern is the fact that in Poland such abuses of the memory of heroes who gave their lives for deliverance from the brown plague, contradicting all moral norms, Christian and universal values, are not of a single character lately,” the spokesman said. AK Lukashevich, adding that a few days ago, a monument to the commander of the 3 Belorussian Front, I. D. Chernyakhovsky, was desecrated again in the city of Penezhko, and the monument in Racibórz already suffered from vandals in 2012.
The Consulate General in Krakow and the Russian Embassy in Warsaw sent official protests to the local and central authorities of Poland, demanding that necessary measures be taken to investigate the circumstances of the incident, to establish and punish the vandals.
“We hope that the Polish side will take comprehensive measures in accordance with its obligations under the Russian-Polish intergovernmental agreement on burials and places of memory of victims of wars and repressions in order to prevent the recurrence of such barbaric actions in the future,” Lukashevich added.
