By destroying Soviet monuments, the Polish authorities are insulting their soldiers - Mateusz Piskorski
By destroying monuments to Soviet soldiers, the Polish leadership is insulting its own history.
About this on the air of the video blog “Ty сhe!?” said the Polish public and political figure, ex-deputy of the Sejm Matuesh Piskorski, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Piskorski recalled that the monuments to Soviet soldiers erected in Poland also perpetuate the memory of the Polish military, who, together with the Red Army, liberated Eastern Europe from Nazism.
“A separate national structure that took Berlin and destroyed the Third Reich, Nazi Germany, was the 1st and 2nd Army of the Polish Army, formed on the instructions of the Soviet leadership. But this army included Poles, ordinary Polish citizens, who, as Polish territories were liberated, joined this army. Many of them were also winners in this war,” the expert said.
According to him, it was a general war for the peoples of Eastern Europe to have the right to exist at all.
“Therefore, when monuments in Poland are destroyed, we must not forget that many of these monuments are common monuments to Polish and Soviet soldiers. This means that in this way we are dealing with an insult to the memory of not only the feat of the Soviet people, but we are also dealing with an insult to the memory of Polish soldiers who died during the Second World War,” Piskorski said.
