The State Duma and the Israeli Knesset will simultaneously protest against the law on the demolition of monuments to Soviet soldiers in Poland

The State Duma of the Russian Federation and the Knesset of Israel will accept today simultaneously at 16.00 Moscow time an appeal to the European parliaments and pan-European institutions regarding amendments to the “decommunization law” adopted in Poland, which makes it possible to demolish and dismantle more than 500 monuments to Soviet soldiers during the Great Patriotic War war.

The author of the proposal, Chairman of the Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky, stated this today, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

The Knesset Presidium accepted for urgent discussion the appeal “Tasks for preserving the historical memory of the Second World War.” This is an exceptional procedure that is used extremely rarely. For example, when it comes to state security. Our appeal, prepared by all four factions, is the first adopted at this level in the current convocation,” Slutsky said.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning Polish “decommunization.”
