minus-squareFaceDeer@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up15arrow-down12·2 months ago If the people this monument honors are Nazis, One name of a Nazi collaborator was found there. It’s absolutely ridiculous to leap from that to “this is a monument honoring Nazis.” Millions of people were killed by Stalin. It’s little wonder that a few objectionable names might be scattered among them.
