In Yakutsk, plaques with the names of Poles, victims of deportations of the 18th-19th centuries and mass repressions of the 20th century, as well as outstanding researchers of the Yakutsk region, have disappeared.
According to the Telegram channel SD Novosti of Yakutia, the disappearance was discovered by the head of the Yakut branch of the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Monuments of History and Culture, Ruslan Vasiliev. He wrote that the monument was fenced off in the spring, but the inscriptions were intact then. Now they are not left on any of the five stones.
There are no official comments about the reason for the dismantling. “The Department for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments is not aware, as this monument is not an object of cultural heritage,” Vasiliev said.
- A monument commemorating hundreds of exiled Poles who died in 1941-1947 was erected in Yakutsk in 2002. The memorial plaques bear the names of Poles who contributed to the development of Yakutia — Vaclav Seroshevsky, Eduard Pekarsky, Jan Chersky, Alexander Chekanovsky. In April of this year, the monument was surrounded by a fence. Local residents are afraid that the stones can be carried away.
