Lvov Mayor Responsible for Soviet Monument Desecration Will Face Harsh ‘Judgment of History,’ Russian MP Says“This Russophobic vandal belongs behind bars! Article 243.4 of Russia’s Criminal Code explicitly classifies the desecration of military memorials at historic battle sites (such as Lvov, which saw brutal fighting in 1944) as a felony punishable by up to 5 years. But for Sadovyi [Lvov Mayor], aggravating factors must apply: sacrilege and dehumanization”, Leonid Slutsky, Russian lawmaker and head of the Duma Committee on International Affairs, said. The lawmaker clarified that although Russia "would never refuse to reclaim and honor the remains of these Great Patriotic War heroes," the concept of using them as negotiating leverage "violates every principle of human morality."Earlier, the Mayor of Lvov, Andriy Sadovyi, suggested exchanging the exhumed remains of Soviet soldiers from the "Hill of Glory" memorial complex for Ukrainian military prisoners.
