Re: [Cz-L] Two memorials

Hardy does not interpret everything .
  Hardy finds and understands what he sees.
    Whenever you run out of arguments you get personal.
     This is not a Soviet monument ,it does not have the insignia
       or Russian text.
      The Soviet Union did not fight for independence.
        It fought for survival.

         I declare : Not everything done in thr Ukraine is done
      for antisemitic reasons.
        We are not that important.
