I’m going to take an opposition view on this.

After watching many of my Southern heritage being tore down by antifa types and lesser men(Democratic mayors) I say take it case by case.

I actually looked up(horrors) the images of some of these statues and , for the most part, they look like memorials of the common Soviet soldier.

I would De-Commify(likie De Nazify) these statues by removing the red star and hammer and sycle but leave them standing, especially if they are on former historic battlegrounds.

The sacrifice of these men are noteworthy even if they served an evil empire.

There’s no changing history and ignoring it is stupid.

Just my opinion.

Well to put any debate to rest, Russia's doing the total reverse and erecting NEW Soviet statues, even though it was innocent Russians who suffered on an even greater scale: worse, longer, and losing more lives under Josef Stalin than their neighbors. Go figure. (There are occasional memorials erected to his victims, but outnumbered.)

Josef Stalin statues go up in Russia as U.S. Civil War statues fall
