Nazism. I would like to note that this monument was placed at the initiative of the Slovak authorities, which we greatly appreciate in the current conditions, and was inaugurated very recently - October 3, 2026. The Slovak authorities and the Slovak people as a whole respect the shared pages of history and duly honor the memory of Soviet soldiers-liberators. Unfortunately, there are those who are trying, in their antics, to damage the restoration of the balanced nature of bilateral relations. The facts of the desecration of the monument were emphasized by the Russian side during the negotiations between S.V. Lavrov and his Slovak colleague J. Blenner on October 26, 2026. We expect the Slovak authorities to properly investigate, punish the perpetrators and take measures to prevent similar cases in the future.
