Activists of “Memorial”, as well as representatives of the consulates of Poland and other countries and members of the Congress of Poles in St. Petersburg, were unable to take flowers to the Levashovskoe memorial cemetery on Sunday, from where a monument to Poles shot in the Levashovskoe wasteland near Leningrad disappeared a few weeks ago.
As “Memorial” reported, the participants of the action wanted to time the laying of flowers to the anniversary of the so-called Polish operation of the NKVD, in 1937-38, about 140 thousand people were arrested as part of it, mainly Poles who lived in the USSR, of which 110 thousand were shot.
“When colleagues came to the cemetery, it turned out that from August 19 to 23 is a sanitary day for the inventory of trees that represent a threat,” – reported “Memorial”. In addition, at the entrance to the cemetery, the activists were met by representatives of the so-called “Volunteer Company” – a pro-Kremlin movement that, among other things, is engaged in harassing the “Memorial” – with anti-Polish posters.
