All that Soviet crap should have been taken down over 30 years ago!
If you are pro-Putin don't ever work or live in the US, EU and ally countries. Live and work in Russia or North Korea, good luck if you can find the same comfortable life and human rights
So narrow minded, the selective history will produce a rotten society.
I am absolutely positive there are so many people in Ukraine that are against this vandalism but do not dare to say anything.
THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MONUMENTS, IS TO SERVE AS A REMINDER FOR OUR PAST MISTAKES, BUT BECAUSE RUSSIA HASN'T LEARNT FROM THEIR MISTAKES, THE MONUMENT HAS NO PURPOSE
Simple Answer. Deport all Pro Putin Russian Citizens in Latvia back to Russia.
I LOVE IT WHO TO THE MONUMENT IS FALLEN AND REMOVE,,,NO NEED TO REMEMBER WHAT THEY DID TO YOUR COUNTRY DESTROY ALL,,,NEVER AFRAID EVIL PUTIN NEVER….
Good job. Useless, worthless, very ugly monument.
Massacres next door by a roving army that's only good at killing civilians; what exactly did the Russians think was going to happen to their monuments?
Dear people of the west,
I know you didn't vote for these people and it truly is a shame that your empire will collapse so soon. Due to the selfish decisions of your unscrupulous leaders, you will all be eating bugs and freezing within the next few years. Your leaders are the ones responsible for letting this happen. Throughout your history, there have been multiple such resets. After Rome dissolved, it took a thousand years to get back to where you were. But thanks to Russia, there will be a new and better world clean of impurity. Your governments will be punished for the damage they did to you, and you will live in a normal world where there is both freedom and order. There is no need to wait. Russia is not your enemy.
"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone NOT FOUND written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV)
Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV)
By God's GRACE ✝️, the gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is available to all. You can RECEIVE it. You can REJECT it. May you choose wisely.⚖️
Stupidly,Stupidly
What this has to do with Putin?
At last, the monuments to the Soviet occupation of Europe are removed🥳 Thanks for that wonderful news 🙏
Ukraine should remove old people that still got memory of soviets era as well
Putin is truly an Evil.
Slava Ukraini! God is with us!
LOL.. stupid woke agenda at work. We saw this in America during the BLM looting riots and all it did was drive people away from BLM.
GOOD!!!!
This is ur own history, why damage ur own monuments
It is sad that Putin's stupid actions have tarnished what the Red Army did 80 years ago, but this attack on Ukraine looks like Stalin at his worst. Too many people now will only remember what Stalin did (with Putin as his echo) and forget the tremendous sacrifices the peoples of the eastern half of Europe endured to stop nazism, and that very much included the Russians. But now Putin seems very much like Hitler, and Europe has little willingness to remember what happened in the light of what is happening.
Maybe the Russians shouldn't of bothered liberating the Baltics and just left the Nazis to it
Reichskommissariat Ostland returned with the support of the USA.
Should go on world wide display
Only Putin is to blame.
I got cured of Herpes virus after Dr OSABA on YouTube has sent me his herbal medicine .
I dont believe in removing statues of history. I feel like every time it happens someone is trying to erase history . In this case I see why they are doing it but I still dont agree. You cant change peoples beliefs by doing so.
