No one is bitching about the statues of Lenin, etc.

There are still monuments to fallen Soviet soldiers in Germany and no talk of removing them.

Like in the middle of Berlin.

You have to remember that the Soviets did not liberate Poland. WWII started when the Soviets and Germany invaded the country simultaneously as per The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. .

Poland having monuments to fallen Soviet soldiers is no different than Belgium or France (or Poland) having monuments to fallen Nazi soldiers.

And the same applies to Estonia which was also a victim of Molotov-Ribbentrop.

You are correct. There is a very large Soviet War Memorial just inside what was West Berlin near the Reichstag Building, plus the large Soviet Cemetery in Teltow. The cemetery is located in what was East Berlin.

Probably haven’t gotten over Soviet oppression. Afraid that the master will return.
