War heroes obelisk thrown away in Brest Province

The inhabitants of the village of Sporava, Byarezino District of Brest Province, are indignant at the fact that a monument installed in memory of war heroes has been thrown away by local officials. It was also a symbol of the village. The monument was installed at a crossroads in the village. It was demolished because it was in the traffic way, the local authorities explained. However, the obelisk was installed in the spot where the soldiers killed while defending the village had been buried.

Villagers and veterans of the Great Patriotic War were indignant at the fact. They gathered in the streets to express their protest. The local authorities have promised to install a new monument made of granite, ONT reports.
