Local authorities of #Vorkuta #Russia have demolished a monument to the memory of victims of #GULag buried in a mass grave underneath. The authorities explained that this happened on the request by a “veteran of a special military operation who returned home” who was offended by the fact the memorial plaque listed 33 names of #Ukraine nationals who died there in 1950’s. They also claimed they were “Nazis from UPA” but the problem is that the birth dates indicate than when UPA operated they were at most 14-15 years old.
This incident is part of a broader trend of removing monuments and memorial plaques dedicated to the victims of Soviet mass executions and repressions all across Russia.
