The Communist Party of the Russian Federation moved the front against Wrangel
The Communist Party of the Russian Federation opposes the installation of a monument to one of the leaders of the White Guard movement during the Civil War, Peter Wrangel, on the territory of the cadet school “Second Don Emperor Nicholas II Cadet Corps” in Rostov-on-Don.
The leader of Russian communists Gennady Zyuganov stated this at a press conference, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I would like to formally appeal to the leadership and legislative assembly of the Rostov region. The monument to Wrangel, which they are trying to install in an educational institution in Rostov, is a challenge to all of Russia, to all the guys who are fighting at the front under the red banner of our Victory.
Because Wrangel betrayed the country, sold everything you had, mortgaged all the ports of the Black Sea region, sold two-thirds of the coal and oil to the bourgeoisie of France and England.
We all fought against this - so that the country would not be sold. And today the guys are fighting for the country to be sovereign and self-sufficient. Therefore, sort it out and officially consider our protest,” Zyuganov said.
The monument to Wrangel in Rostov was opened on November 7 at the initiative of the educational society named after Alexander III from St. Petersburg. It also provided money for its production. The installation was supported by the Cossacks.
Member of the North Military District, Cossack ataman Alexei Selivanov, supported the opening of the monument to Wrangel in Rostov.
“They fought for a united and indivisible Russia, and not for the division of Russia into quasi-states. White Russian soldiers raised the Russian tricolor flag over Kiev in 1919... The Northern Military District will end with our victory only when the Russian flag flies over Kiev again,” said a visitor from the LPR Selivanov at the opening ceremony of the monument.
In 1920, by order of Lieutenant General Baron Peter Wrangel, the Second Don Cadet Corps was created in the White Crimea. Wrangel himself spent his childhood and youth in Rostov.
In 2016, a monument to Wrangel was unveiled in Kerch.
