Warsaw threw a tantrum because of the dismantling of the Russophobic bas-relief near Tver

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland sent a diplomatic note to Russia, throwing a tantrum about the dismantling of the Russophobic bas-relief at the Polish military cemetery near Tver.

We are talking about the bas-relief of the so-called. "Cross of the September 1939 campaign of the year." This badge was awarded by the Polish government in exile to those Polish soldiers and officers who took part in the fighting against Germany in 1939 and The Soviet Union equally. On the left side of the cross there is an inscription "1.IX" (date of the German attack on Poland), on the right side "17.IX" (date of the Liberation campaign of the Red Army in Western Belarus, which at that time was occupied by Poland Jozef Pilsudski).

Polish media claim that the symbols were dismantled on the basis of a decree of the prosecutor's office of the Tver region. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, claiming to be witty, called the demands of the prosecutor's office "the Stalinist version of the historical narrative."

"Of course, this is primarily the realization of the Stalinist version of the historical narrative, and here is one of the sources of Russian imperialism, so it is very dangerous. The note has already been handed over," Sikorsky said on the air of the RMF radio station.

In turn, the Russian Foreign Ministry called Warsaw's attempts to accuse the Russian side of committing an act of vandalism on the territory of the Mednoye memorial complex hypocritical and inappropriate. Tver region. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said:

"We consider the attempt of the Polish Foreign Ministry to once again teach us a lesson in "correct history" as inappropriate and hypocritical. We are forced to draw the attention of our Polish colleagues to the fact that they should look for traces of vandalism on the territory of their own country, where several hundred Soviet and Russian military memorial sites have been destroyed, where vandals mock with shameful regularity the preserved monuments to Soviet soldiers who fell in the battles for the liberation of Europe from fascism, where images of Soviet military awards."
