Meanwhile all over Ukraine, Latvia, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia etc have been busily tearing down WWII monuments to Soviet soldiers defeating the Nazis, including a giant obelisk as big as a Washington monument knocked over.
I’d prefer all monuments stay up. But if the retard Ukes keep pulling down every WWII memorial, They gotta expect the same.
The difference is that the pro-Soviet monuments were monuments to oppressors - not liberators. The Soviets didn’t really liberate Estonia or Latvia or Ukraine. They went on to oppress those places and peoples for 40 more years.
The Holodomor memorial was simply about how an oppressor starved people to death. It did not glorify an oppressor pretending to be a liberator (the Soviets).
“Meanwhile all over Ukraine, Latvia, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia etc have been busily tearing down WWII monuments to Soviet soldiers defeating the Nazis..”
And then subjecting all those populations to abject slavery under communism for 45 years. So I don’t really blame them for pulling down statues of Lenin, Marx, and Stalin.
And then there’s the fact that Ukraine didn’t invade Russia proper and start pulling down their monuments.
Putin did. So there’s a bit of a difference.
