The Russian foreign Ministry called the dismantling of the Monument of gratitude in Poland an act demonstrative of cynicism – TASS

MOSCOW, December 24. /TASS/. The Russian foreign Ministry called “another act of posturing cynicism,” which began the dismantling of the Monument of gratitude, set in the Polish city of Łańcut in commemoration of the feat of the Soviet soldiers who liberated Poland from Nazi occupation. This is stated in comments posted on website us.

“this is another act of posturing cynicism. The Polish government is not just once again ignored the interstate Treaty on friendly and neighbourly cooperation of 1992 and the intergovernmental agreement on burial sites and places of memory of victims of wars and repression from 1994, which require the care of monuments” – said in depodesta.

the Russian foreign Ministry warned the government of Poland on amendments to the legislation that will actually pave the way for the destruction of the Soviet and Russian monuments on the territory of the country.

“We know about the upcoming amendments to the Polish legislation prohibiting “propaganda of communism or other totalitarian system”. Their adoption would open the way to mass extermination of the Soviet/Russian monuments in Poland. I want to strongly warn the Polish side from such a rash step to avoid additional complications to our already complicated bilateral relations,” the commentary said.

In depodesta stressed that no consultations about the dismantling of the Russian Federation, as required by international legal obligations Warsaw, was conducted. “We and the entire civilized world show in Poland belong to the tragic pages of the recent history when the peoples of Europe with great sacrifice and effort managed to defend their freedom and independence. Only this year the same fate in Poland suffered a seven monuments to Soviet soldiers, there were fifteen acts of vandalism on the Soviet memorial sites, including nine in the cemeteries,” – noted in the commentary.
