A hooligan's trick was noticed by one of the passers-by. In the morning the man called the police and told that unknown people were flooded with cement. The Eternal Flame in the Glory Park. According to the TV channel Espresso TV, the policemen who arrived at the site found eight injectors near the memorial, in which the attackers brought a solution. In addition to cement at the scene of the incident found debris - leaves, paper and even souvenir 100 dollars, the Ukrainian newspaper "Today". After the criminals did their "black business", they threw the buckets directly at the memorial. While the police establish the circumstances of the incident and the motives of the vandals, Russian politicians are already putting forward their versions of the incident. According to State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov, the Ukrainian authorities can directly attack the Eternal Flame. "If the radicals did it on the orders of the Kiev authorities, I will not be surprised at all. This is the way ordinary thugs get excited, who are inspired by the atmosphere that is hovering in Ukraine, "he commented on what happened for RIA FAN. Milonov noted that the Eternal Flame reminded the radically inclined Ukrainians about their "exterminated spiritual leaders", therefore, this monument is not considered a vandal's monument. In addition, he added, in Ukraine attempts continue to rewrite the history of the country and create a "dill", that is, a person free from conscience, memory and moral standards. Thus, using the radical part of the population, Kiev intends to destroy all reminders to the Ukrainians about their true history, Milonov stressed.. According to him, Kiev decided to follow the path of "absolute amnesia". At the same time, he noted that such methods are unacceptable even in those countries of the West where Russophobia is promoted at the state level. The most aggressive and radical forms of such propaganda are used by those states whose position is most dependent on influential persons. "Most bark the most insignificant and the situation with cement - an excellent example," - concluded Milonov.

As told the newspaper "Today" workers who were cleaning cement at the memorial, it is not yet known whether the fire will resume in the near future.
