Great Patriotic War Museum in Minsk is destroyed with pictures of heroes
By-passers spot WWII heroes' photos on the walls of shifting war museum in Minsk
Our editors received these pictures from our reader Alyaksei. He was taking a walk in the center of Minsk today and saw that work on dismantling the old building of the Museum of the Great Patriotic War on October Square is going fast.
"I decided to make a few shots with my phone, just to remember," Alyaksei said. But what I saw in the window of the half-destroyed building, unpleasantly surprised me. On the wall there remained exhibition with the heroes of that war -- and the walls were being destroyed together with it. I understand that the museum has moved and that the exhibition is no longer needed, but is it possible to treat the memory of these people in this way?"
