In Lithuania at the monuments of the Soviet soldiers put the “explanation” of the signs. They tell the people looking at the creation of man that the words on the monument do not correspond to historical reality.

 

On the monuments established plaques, which refers to the burial of soldiers of the Soviet Union. They remind citizens about the discrepancy between the slogans on the monuments of historical truth. Representatives of administration of the settlements, where he made such an initiative, tried to consult the authorities of the country on this issue. However, they were sent from one Department to another. In the end I had to consult with representatives of the Ministry of foreign Affairs. There is recommended to wait for the interstate resolution of this issue.

The Center for the study of genocide has supported this initiative. Lithuania is not the only one who encroaches on the monument to Soviet soldiers. In Poland, too, entered into force the law on their destruction. In Russia critical of such decisions and hinted at a response.
