"We received with concern the information of the Polish Embassy in Moscow about the demolition of the Polish monument at the War Cemetery in Mednoje. We powerfully request from the Russian side the immediate restoration of the first cemetery" —
"We read this outrageous provocation not only as an effort to interfere with the Polish presidential elections, but as a typical Russian effort to change history, which is to lie the historical fact that Stalin's Russia and Hitler attacked Poland on 17 September 1939," writes the Ministry of abroad Affairs.
"It is all the more outrageous that at the same time Putinian Russia restores the worship of the man who ordered the execution of Joseph Stalin. Cult, whose victims were not only Polish prisoners of war but, above all, Russians and USSR nations,” the Communication states.
"We remind you that in many Russian cemeteries in Poland there are Russian symbols and decorations of the Patriotic War. The modern Russian authorities prove one more time that they have no respect not only for past but besides for the dead," the Polish Ministry emphasizes.
