i do not like it. it's history, those soldiers died here while fighting german nazis ofc they do not have any choice cuz NKWD follows them but still they died fighting Adolf so monument should stay, not it's almost 20years passed and this monument would be smth interesting to see and even more interesting in next 40 years but no, some moron had to devastate it.
i understand feelings, many ppl sees red star as sign of oppression but again - it was about soldiers who died here nothing more, no politics. at least it's how i see it.
now about demands from soviets to not touch any monuments - i wonder if they would say that if we would have nuclear armaments? it's just show that we as country are less than shit for the rest of the world. no country should have such demands from other country it comes by free good will to keep any monument or not.
