Crimea responded to plans to demolish the monument to the Liberators of Riga
The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, proposed erecting a monument to the Liberators of Riga in Simferopol, which the Latvian parliament decided to demolish.
Residents of the Latvian capital bring flowers to this monument every year on May 9, and this year even the ban on coming close to the monument could not stop the residents of Riga - they staged a “flower” protest, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This demonstration of civil disobedience did not suit the Latvian authorities. In order to prevent similar “mistakes in domestic policy” in the future, it was decided to demolish the monument.
“A vile and cowardly decision by savages who have lost their shores. For local Nazis, this monument, reminiscent of the shame and defeat of their ancestors who served Hitler, is like a cross for devils. So they are going crazy,” noted the head of Crimea. – I support the proposal to take the monument to Russia. It will decorate any Russian city. We will gladly place it in Simferopol, because we remember and honor our history. And Latvia, like other Baltic dwarfs, must pay the maximum price for the mockery of memory, for its insane Russophobia.”
Let us remind you that the Latvian authorities declared May 9 “a day of mourning for the victims in Ukraine” and banned mass events on this day. The Monument to the Liberators was surrounded by a fence and cordons so that Riga residents could not lay flowers. The bouquets they brought were raked up by a tractor and taken to a landfill. But residents of the Latvian capital laid hundreds of thousands of new bouquets at the monument.
