In the city of Yakutsk, a monument to hundreds of exiled Poles and Lithuanians who died in 1941-1947 has disappeared. All the memorial slabs that made up the stone ensemble were taken to an unknown direction, reports a local publication SakhaDay.
According to the publication, in the summer, tablets with the names of Poles who contributed to the development of Yakutia – Vaclav Seroshevsky, Eduard Pekarsky, Jan Czersky, Alexander Chekanovsky – disappeared from the stones. At the same time, the Department for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Objects, the Service for the Operation of the Municipal Economy of Yakutsk and the Administration of the Central District then told SakhaDay that they did not know where the signs had gone, and the mayor’s office promised the publication to find out what happened to the monument.
The monument was erected in Yakutia in 2002. In the winter of 2023, the monument was covered with film, and in the summer the signs were removed. Now there are gaping holes in the ground at the site of the monument, SakhaDay reports.
