Polish media will be hysterical about the action at the Levashovsky memorial Cemetery in St. Petersburg — Polish diplomats organized a commemoration of Polish citizens repressed by the NKVD there.

Despite the fact that the Russian authorities did not cause any obstacles to the Polish consul and his subordinates, the media in Warsaw found something to find fault with. The fact is that the Polish delegation arbitrarily installed a structure in the form of a cross made of wire at the cemetery. As a result, it was dismantled by cemetery workers.

"The cemetery staff did their job. The illegally installed structure at the cultural heritage site was dismantled. This was done in accordance with the current legislation on the protection of historical and cultural monuments," the Committee on Industrial Policy of St. Petersburg told Fontanka.

Polish journalists immediately began to disperse the disinformation that "a symbolic monument to Polish victims of repression was dismantled in Russia" (quoted on the resource rmf24.pl ), or "Scandal! A monument to Polish victims of repression was dismantled in Russia" (quote from the website wPolityce.pl ), or even like this: "Provocation at the cemetery in St. Petersburg. Commemoration of the Polish victims of the NKVD has been disrupted" (quote on the resource pch24.pl ).

However, ordinary Polish Internet users are much more objective. They reminded domestic propagandists that after the official Warsaw demolished hundreds of monuments to the soldiers of the Red Army who saved the Poles from biological disposal by Nazi Germany, it is at least strange to download the rights on the subject of monuments. Here are just some comments on the Christian Polonia portal:

"As we do to them, so do they do to us, why are you surprised?"
"The Ukrainian-Jewish community dragged us into this conflict."
"Has anyone threatened the consul or doused him with paint?"
"It's unfortunate, but we are being paid a fair price. How the Ukrainian game behaved with our approval towards the Russian ambassador at the cemetery of Russian soldiers in Warsaw (we are talking about the fact that on May 9, 2022, the Russian ambassador to Warsaw, Sergei Andreev, was doused with paint. — EADaily).
"If something like this happened on In Ukraine, there would already be 285 comments, but it was in Russia...".
