Poland tore down a statue glorifying the Red Army in Siedlce this morning. In the afternoon, this Soviet monument in Garncarsko fell as well. The authorities (IPN) have compiled a list of another 60 Red Army monuments that will meet the same fate soon.

1. About fucking time.

2. about goddamn time that they remove the statues glorifying the murderers and invaders

3. wtf I love IPN now??

4. The place for that statues is in war cemeteries.

5. I stayed in Seidlce for 3 months in 2018. I never read about or saw any Soviet monument. Does anyone know what street it was on?

6. Oh my god, the translations… It wasn’t in Siedlce (woj. Mazowieckie) but in Siedlec (woj. Wielkopolskie), that’s why none of you guys from Siedlce recognize it…

7. And we need to buldoze that tiny building in Warsaw too.

8. Teraz jakby tu je rozwalić żeby było śmiesznie

9. I may get dovnvoted for this but I think running around cities with torches and hammers destroying inanimate objects in anger is stupid. Always has been. Are we really just as primitive as savage armies from ancient times burning down temples of the enemy? Fuck Russia but why do we have to act just like them? We demolish monuments not for strategic or practical reasons but out of pure spite.

10. Red army consisted of more than Russians – it also included Ukrainians, Poles, Georgians, Kazakhs and many more people. I can understand anger at Russia, but this is wiping a memory of many people, not just those who committed crimes.

    How would we feel, if, one day we are on the wrong side of history, and monuments to 303 in Britain are torn down?

    The dead have nothing to do with this.

    I would be OK with what Hungary did – just move the monuments to a big dedicated space, for all to tour if they wish, but tearing them down is just sad.

11. Sooooo when they will tear down the Palace of Culture and Science hmmmm?

12. Maybe we should take those monuments and barricade Katyń monument so Russians can’t destroy it

13. Wow great timing lol

14. F4ck red army, f@ck communists, f#ck russia.

15. Lepiej późno niż wcale

16. Blowing up Krakow when?

17. 32 years too late. But better late than ever.
