If the German police erected a statue of Adolph that would be very big news. The Times is - accurately - reporting feelings common among the Russian populace and those are very disturbing.
His name was Adolf, not Adolph.
The analogy doesn't work. Everybody knows who Hitler was, but hardly anyone remembers Felix Dzerzhinsky. So who cares about a statue in his memory? Nobody. It's not news.
