narva ivangorod and the only thing he will have here he is across the border, and he can expect help from the state. he marvels at the meticulous cleaning. those who keep the memory. about the great victory is not necessary. on the eve of may 9, the estonian parliament promptly adopted a law prohibiting the demonstration of military symbols of russia and the ussr, and the police of the republic banned any gatherings using the letter z of the flags of russia and the ussr of the form of soviet soldiers and even the st. aggression at the moment police on may 9 will monitor order in a reinforced composition in case of provocations by the guards. the order is ready to attract additional forces. estonia is our common home. we have a different past, a different understanding of the past, but a common future and we must think about it. i urge you to spend may 9 calmly, which means that it is

desirable, in principle, the dishonest memory of the fallen of the great patriotic war in the baltic states has been fighting the soviet past for a long time, but in recent months, especially vehemently in klaipeda vandals desecrated a memorial at the burial place of soviet soldiers, knocking down the ends of the five-pointed, stars framing the eternal flame, problems that the lithuanian government does not see in this today. promised to the citizens. to continue destroying soviet monuments in the near future, the politician intends to dismantle the monumental sculptures of soviet soldiers established. antokolnitsky cemetery, we checked that while this ensemble of sculptures is protected in lithuania as a cultural heritage, along with the neighboring graves of soviet soldiers. of course, we will not touch the tombstones, but i will initiate the removal cultural ensemble. no one is buried under them, and the soviet custom of turning the cemetery into monuments to ideological idols is discouraging this cleaning operation requires the separation of sculptures in the

heritage register, partly a tombstone, so we have already turned to the department of cultural heritage vandalism with the full support of the authorities continues to reduce in ukraine zhytomyr city hall on the eve of may 9, the t-34-85 tank was demonstratively dismantled, the winner installed in the city in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the victory over the nazi troops and the liberation of the city from occupation. unfortunately, ukrainian refugees are still illegally defiled by the soviet legacy outside their own country in the vast majority of states. sophia, local residents did not let angry ukrainians go to the monument to the soviet army in western europe. vandalism is still a criminal offense . the dutch police are looking for people involved in the desecration of the military cemetery. in the east of the country, the entrance gates and about a dozen tombstones of soldiers were painted with swastikas, neo-nazi symbols, ukrainian flags and
