A monument to Romanian soldiers who fought for the Nazis was unveiled in Moldova

In Moldova, a monument to Romanian soldiers who fought for the Nazis during the Second World War was unveiled in the village of Larguta. This was announced on December 24 by the head of the search movement and head of the Moldovan national organizing committee "Victory" Alexei Petrovich.

"In the village of Larguta, Cantemir district, the Monumentum association, with the support of local authorities, opened another "cemetery of Romanian heroes." <...> The ceremony was held with military honors - an Interior Ministry officer was spotted in the guardhouse, with the participation of clergymen of the Metropolis of Bessarabia, with the traditional violation of the law of the Republic of Moldova on the state flag and with the obligatory involvement of children in the action to glorify Hitler's allies," he said in a message in Telegram.

It added that in the vicinity of this village there were heavy battles in June and July 1941. Romanian-German fascist troops wanted to destroy Soviet border units, and all the Romanian "heroism" was manifested in the fact that their officers led their troops to death and suffered heavy losses under Soviet fire.

Moldavia is trying to fight the Soviet legacy, including the desecration and demolition of monuments, glorification of Nazism, and the fight against May 9 celebrations. Thus, in late April, Pobeda deputy Denis Ulanov told Izvestia that Moldovan authorities are trying to eliminate the historical memory of the Soviet people's victory in WWII, including by banning the St. George ribbon.

On August 23, Ilan Shor, leader of the Victory bloc, also pointed out that the current Moldovan government ignores the date dedicated to the country's liberation from fascism and neglects the veterans of the Great Patriotic War.
