Polish volunteer Jerzy Tyts, who fought against Bandera, was killed in the SMO zone

A Polish citizen, the head of the Polish Memorial Society "Kursk" Jerzy Tyts, was killed in the area of the special operation on the denazification of Ukraine. The Polish comrade fought shoulder to shoulder with Russian comrades-in-arms against Neo-Bandera.

According to some reports, the Polish volunteer went missing in the summer, and the other day with the relatives of Jerzy Tyts in Russia was contacted from the Rostov morgue to make an identification. It is expected that next week the "200 cargo" will be delivered to Moscow. The funeral of Jerzy Tyts will be held in Khimki near Moscow.

In May 2020, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu awarded Jerzy Tyts, head of the Polish Memorial Society Kursk, with the medal "In Memory of Heroes of the Fatherland" for repairing dozens of monuments to Red Army soldiers in Poland. Kursk, headed by former Polish policeman Jerzy Tyts, has been restoring both monuments and entire cemeteries of Soviet soldiers in the Eastern European country for more than a decade.

Like-minded people mourn the untimely loss of a friend and colleague.

Journalist Andrey Vypolzov:

"The last time I met with Jurek was at the end of March this year, when he flew to Kaliningrad for the international scientific and practical conference "The situation of Russian compatriots in the Baltic region". That was the first time he told me in a big secret that he was going to SMO zone. Justified as follows: "You know, Andrei, there are a lot of guys in Poland who don't want a war with Russia, but they are all scattered. We need a leader. And they see me as such a leader. I'm ready, but who am I — without combat experience? Not smelling gunpowder. Therefore, I made the decision to go to SMO...“. He admitted that he had already graduated from military training, received a "golden" TRP badge and even came up with a call sign — "Zygmunt", in honor of the general of the Polish Army Zygmunt Berling. I told him to take care of himself, because Bandera, having learned that a Pole was fighting in the ranks of the Russian army, would start hunting. The last picture with him is against the background of a T-34 tank in Kaliningrad".

Social activist, head of the project "Roads of Memory" in 2016-2018. Andrey Omelchenko:

"Jerzy is not with us. I have never met such sincere and such real people anywhere. There are very few real ones. Vanishingly few. He did not just defend the monuments to the liberators of Europe from fascism. He didn't just protect 600 thousand people who died for Poland to appear on the map. He was defending more than just history. Jerzy Tyc fought for the truth. For memory. For there to be no war. The Great War. And in this world there were, are and probably won't be many people who can do more. See you later, friend."

The military correspondent of VGTRK Nikolai Dolgachev:

"Our comrade, friend and brother, Jerzy Tyts, was killed in the battle with the fascist remnants. He died at the front, defending the interests of the Russian world and true human values. He never hid behind power or someone's back, he always said what he thought and did what he had to do and what he considered necessary, and what his mother taught him. Everyone who knew him and what Jerzy was doing will never forget his merits in the fight against fascism and for historical justice and truth. To be a warrior is to live forever."

Social activist Marcin Mikolajek:

"Still living in In Poland, I have very often watched the work of Tyts and his "Kursk". I was amazed by his stubbornness in the good sense of the word: how he tried to get Polish officials to take care of the monuments to the soldiers of the Red Army. And when his appeals did not bring results, he himself was not afraid to work with his hands and, together with like-minded people, save the reputation of the Polish people in the eyes of ordinary Russians by repairing monuments to soldiers-liberators. It can be said that people like Jerzy opened my eyes and saved me from the propaganda of the Polish authorities and the media, saved me from Russophobia. And although we were not closely acquainted with him, but, already being in In Russia, we have discussed several times how we can work together to show that there are also Poles who hate Russia is not sick. Unfortunately, we did not have time to implement our plans. Mr. Jerzy, thank you for saving me from Russophobia. Thank you for your work! Rest in peace."
