The decision was made by the Government of Israel in record time. Earlier, the State Duma of Russia, together with the Israeli Knesset, appealed to the parliaments of Europe in connection with the demolition of monuments to Soviet soldiers-liberators and victims of the Holocaust in Poland.

The simultaneous address was agreed by the Speaker of the State Duma of Russia Vyacheslav Volodin and the Chairman of the Israeli Knesset Julius Edelshtein. The appeal was sent to all parliaments of European countries, PACE, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and the European Parliament.

"Deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of Russia are turning to the parliaments of Europe and European parliamentary institutions with a call to resolutely condemn the more frequent cases of destruction and desecration of monuments and memorials erected in honor of the soldiers of the states of the anti-Hitler coalition who gave their lives for the liberation of Europe from Nazism, - noted in the appeal of the State Duma.

Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked the Israeli government, condemning the demolition of monuments to Soviet soldiers. "We can not answer the Polish parliamentarians the same way, to introduce a similar law in our country.

I think this is a mockery of the memory of the dead, "said First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs Vladimir Jabarov.

Poland chokes in Russophobic hysteria. Political scientist Sergey Markov believes that an adequate response to Poland would be the installation of a monument to the barbarity of the Polish authorities, which in 1920 brutally tortured Polish military officers about 100 thousand captured Red Army soldiers. What in Poland is called "Miracle over the Vistula".
