Thus, the unknown reminds many cases of Russian military theft in Ukraine.
In the city of Litomerice in the north of the Czech Republic, unidentified people painted the facade of a pedestal erected in honor of a fallen Red Army soldier. This was reported by the local edition of Novinky.
The base of the monument has been modified to look like a washing machine, perhaps a reference to the many cases of theft by the Russian military in Ukraine. In addition, a red stripe of paint was applied to the front of the statue.
The mayor of the city, Radek Levy, said that the city utilities will remove the paint and put a plaque on the statue so that it is clear what the historical context is and in whose honor the monument was built.
“A relatively recent problem. How the monument was painted, the city’s technical services will know. Accordingly, a suitable removal method will be chosen, which will also be gentle for the statue,” he said.
A statue of a Red Army soldier has stood in Jiras Gardens since 1975. In 2011, the city discussed the issue of demolishing the monument in connection with the revival of the gardens. But then city authorities said the statue should remain there based on an international agreement between the Czech Republic and Russia.
Recall that at the beginning of a mass invasion of Ukraine, the invaders looted the houses of local residents – they stole household items, clothes, dishes and even plumbing. Later, a Ukrainian refrigerator was found in the house of an invader from Siberia. And in Bucha, thieves looted a shopping center that was destroyed during shelling. They found various goods worth 5 million hryvnias.
