Amendments providing for the demolition of 500 monuments to Soviet soldiers in the territory of Poland have been made by the national parliament to the law banning the promotion of communism or other totalitarian regime in the names of buildings and objects.
According to the document, memo and other memorial sites “can't pay tribute to individuals, organizations, events or dates symbolizing communism or other totalitarian system”.
In total, there are 469 “inappropriate” objects in the territory of Poland, about 250 of which symbolize the heroism and sacrifice of the Soviet army in a struggle against Hitler's troops.
Soviet troops, according to the document, are equal to those “who exerted criminal influence over the history of Poland.”
