No place is sacred to Russia for its war propaganda. Putin’s military attaché misused the memorial for the Battle of Seelow Heights to justify the Ukraine war. The applicant for the Berlin Russian motorcade was also there.
Around a hundred thousand Soviet and Wehrmacht soldiers lost their lives in the cruel Battle of the Oder in 1945. So far there has been a common, silent commemoration on the anniversary. But not this time.
Appeared in blue Generals uniform of Russia Military attaché Sergei Chukhrov Saturday noon at the monument. In tow: soldiers from the allies Belarus and Armenia, GDR army veterans – and members of Putin’s rocker group “Night Wolves”.
Fearing the Kremlin-loyal motorcycle gang had 20 Ukrainian refugee women canceled a peace campaign in Seelow. They wanted to decorate tanks and guns with flowers. Instead, exiled Belarusians laid wreaths for the fallen soldiers from Ukraine, Poland and Belarus in the morning.
Unmoved, General Chukhrov told the press: “After 1945 we thought fascism had been defeated. Today we have to realize that there is a newly emerging fascism, so this war is not over yet.”
Exactly so justified Kremlin boss Putin the Ukraine raid. Chukhrov denied Russia’s proven war crimes in Bucha and Kramatorsk: “Russian soldiers don’t do that. There’s evidence of that.” He didn’t say what.
The applicant for the pro-Russian motorcade in Berlin two weeks ago also turned up in Seelow. Between rockers and Russians, Christian Freier (44) filmed himself with his cell phone laying a wreath. For his and Putin’s supporters.
The soldiers who fell in the fight against fascism can no longer defend themselves against the abuse.
Russian memorial defaced again
Meanwhile, the Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park has again fallen victim to a paint attack.
Unfortunately, what looks like a film set has a serious background: just a week and a half ago, on the night of April 7, strangers daubed anti-Russian slogans on the memorial.
This is considered grave desecration. Since then, the monument has been under police protection and is illuminated every night.
Nevertheless, several letters were discovered again on Easter Monday night, according to a police spokeswoman on Monday. The perpetrators smeared the “Z” symbol and the words “murderer” and “orcs” on two pillars in the area of the entrance portal. The police state security has taken over the investigation.
