Belarussian President
paid particular attention to Poland, where "some people find monuments
annoying"
MINSK, December 14.
/TASS/. Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko has slammed as
"freaks" those who demolish monuments to the Soviet soldiers who
saved the world from fascism.
"There are many
freaks in Poland and in Ukraine. I have no other name for those who ruin
monuments," Lukashenko said at a meeting with Russian journalists on
Friday.
Lukashenko paid particular
attention to Poland.
"Six hundred
thousand Soviet soldiers lost their lives liberating Poland. And now some
people there find monuments annoying," he said angrily. "When I see
them armed with pneumatic hammers tearing off the head of a statue of some
military commander, I cannot but say this is sheer idiocy. Those who wage a war
on monuments are freaks," Lukashenko said.
Poland on October 21,
2017 enacted an updated law on decommunization, which envisages the demolition
of monuments and memorials commemorating "individuals, organizations,
events or dates symbolizing Communism or other totalitarian system.".
