[Regnum] In Yerevan, a native of Armenia staged a pogrom near the monument to the children of besieged Leningrad. Video footage of the desecration of the monument appeared on social networks.
Could it be that the peoples of Russia’s Former Soviet Union deeply resent the years of being forced to be Communist subjects of the Russian empire?
The footage shows how the attacker knocked over wreaths and trampled on a ribbon in the colors of the Russian flag. The man filmed his actions and published it. On the recording, a certain Samvel Shirinyan expressed dissatisfaction with the words of the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. Earlier, during a briefing, the diplomat suggested providing a link to a document or statement of any international organization, such as the UN, testifying to the ethnic cleansing that took place in Karabakh.

At the same time, Zakharova emphasized that the Russian side has repeatedly pointed out the importance of creating conditions for the return of the Armenian population to Karabakh, recorded the need to properly ensure the rights and security of the Armenian population of Karabakh and is ready to provide all possible assistance to this process.

In turn, the man who desecrated the monument said that “there is no documentation about the siege of Leningrad.”

As Regnum reported, on the evening of January 27, an artillery salute thundered near the walls of the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg in honor of the 80th anniversary of the lifting of the siege of Leningrad.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the blockade of Leningrad is only part of the Nazi atrocities and genocide, the assessment of which must be unshakable. The fate of the city is tragic, at the same time, its struggle and courage will forever remain one of the triumphant pages of the country’s history, the head of state said.

According to Putin, the Nazis acted cynically during the war, consciously and according to plan, dooming Leningraders to starvation and extreme hardship. More than 1 million people, mostly elderly people, as well as women and children, died from hunger and disease, the Russian President added.

#1  Jeepers, that last paragraph! If projection were fusion, Russia (her party-liners, anyway) would rule the galaxy.
