Monument to Soviet and Polish soldiers demolished in Poland
On Saturday, the Russian department stated that it was considering the decision of the authorities of the town of Nova Sol to demolish the monument “as a frankly unfriendly step by the Polish side, as a direct and gross violation of the provisions of the agreement between the Russian Federation and Poland on burials and places of memory of victims of wars and repressions.”
In particular, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was outraged by the fact that this decision was made without coordination with Russia.
In Warsaw, they must finally understand that the “war of monuments unleashed in Poland” is fraught with the most negative consequences, the responsibility for which will lie entirely with its initiators, ”the statement said.
The Polish Foreign Ministry replied that "the decision of the city of Nova Sol does not violate the agreement with Russia."
After the demolition of the monument at the end of June, the mayor of Nova Sul, Vadim Tishkevich, stated that the monument was “ugly, always dirty because of coarse inscriptions.”
“Times have changed. We grew up. There are no Russians here for a long time, ”he added.
