The monument to the outstanding Polish composer Fryderyk Chopin (1810–49) is the best-known Polish sculpture in the world. Situated close to the Belvedere Palace on Aleje Ujazdowskie, it was designed by Wacław Szymanowski, a prominent artist, sculptor and musician from the turn of the twentieth century. In 1908 his design won the competition to create a monument to commemorate the centenary of the composer’s birth which fell in 1910. Tsar Nicholas I gave his consent to erecting the statue after yielding to the requests of Adelajda Bolska, a Polish prima donna. However, the monument was not installed until 1926, a few years after Poland had regained independence. (...) In 1940, the monument was destroyed by the Nazis. It was broken into pieces and sent to foundries to be melted down. The reconstructed monument was unveiled in 1958. https://www.lazienki-krolewskie.pl/en/pomniki/pomnik-fryderyka-chopina
Just put it in a fucking museum, or a warehouse, or something, for fuck’s sake!
Multiple heritage groups made offers to buy the statue for storage or preservation, but all offers were declined. They WANT to destroy it in the most offensive way possible.
Fuck. Even the post-SOVIET states didn’t do this to statues of Stalin and Lenin and the like…
WHAT. THE. FUCK, America??!
Just put it in a fucking museum, or a warehouse, or something, for fuck’s sake! Or throw it in the river!
Not this. This is beyond sacrilege. That’s just… Evil. 😞
Side note: you know who DID do this kind of thing? Mao.
You’ve entered the era of literal Red Guards, and “cultural revolution”…
Congrats, I guess..? /s
I hate to say it, but… Someone should really fight this. Like, if I was over there, I would. This absolutely should not be allowed to happen. 😐
Oh, and the Taliban. Don’t forget them. And ISIS.
Tip top company, that. 👌🏻 Just who these fucking morons deserve to be associated with. Bastards…
