[LENTA] Residents of the Tverskoy district in the center of Moscow discovered the disappearance of memorial plaques that were installed in memory of the victims of repressions of the 1930s. This was reported by the Telegram channel “Caution, Moscow”.

Signs with the names of those repressed hung on a building on Dolgorukovskaya Street. There were a total of 13 signs on the building, but they are all gone. Residents of the house do not know who could have rented them. They claim that they have not received any announcements about restoration or renovation of the house.

The signs were installed 10 years ago as part of the “Last Address” campaign, designed to perpetuate the memory of victims of political repression. The plaque contains the name, dates of birth, arrest, execution and rehabilitation.

Previously, a bust of Joseph Stalin was installed on the territory of the Mednoe memorial complex for victims of repression in the Tula region. In addition to the bust of Stalin, statues of Lenin, Kalinin, Dzerzhinsky and Sverdlov appeared in the complex. According to Chunosov, in this way the management of the complex decided to reflect that time. “This is the era. Did they not have anything to do with the repressions? What kind of inconsistency do you see here? Everything is logical, everything is clear,” he said.

The director of the memorial, Alexander Chunosov, called this step logical. The head of the memorial added that those dissatisfied with the decision cannot see the whole picture. In addition, a portrait of Stalin has been hanging in the main exhibition for a long time, whose presence, according to Chunosov, does not bother anyone.

Says Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
The event itself was launched by current foreign agents to throw shit at Soviet history. Taking into account the fact that it was launched in a number of republics of the former USSR and in Eastern European countries, we can talk about a comprehensive program launched from abroad. The program itself and its activities on the territory of the Russian Federation must certainly be completely eliminated. It is highly advisable to check persons associated with it through the FSB for connections with foreign structures and subversive elements within the country.
