Father of the Prime Minister of Poland Mateusz Moravetsky, Sejm deputy Kornel Moravetsky called the decision to dismantle monuments to Soviet soldiers who died during the liberation of the country. "This is pettiness. I was against this. This issue is very important in the relations between Poland and Russia. It is quite symbolic, "Moravetsky said in an interview with RIA Novosti.. According to the oldest deputy of the Seimas, there is no need to link the liberation of Poland from fascism and the socialist system that established in Eastern Europe after World War II. He stressed that Poland would not have the strength to get rid of the Germans. In the fall of 2017, Warsaw enacted amendments to the law banning the propaganda of communism or another totalitarian system. According to the new law, all Soviet monuments in the country fall under demolition. According to the Institute of the National Memory of Poland, it is about more than 450 monuments, 230 of which are monuments to soldiers of the Red Army, liberating the country from the fascists. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Poland is at war with monuments and is planting Russophobia "as a national idea". The bill was supported by an absolute majority, only 7 deputies opposed it, including Kornel Moravetsky.
