A historian-activist from Poland visited Krasnoyarsk

He took part in various events to preserve historical memory.

During the rally dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the oath of soldiers of the 1st Soviet-Polish Division named after Tadeusz Kosciuszko, Polish public figure Jerzy Tyts arrived in Krasnoyarsk.
In Krasnoyarsk, the founder and activist of the patriotic organization "Commonwealth "KURSK" took part in various events to preserve historical memory. So, the historian attended the Evening of the memory of the Gathering of the search teams of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the SFO "Let's finish the chronicle of Victory", where he told young search engines about the work of the "KURSK Commonwealth".
The historian also visited the Victory Memorial Museum, where he got acquainted with the history of our city during the Great Patriotic War, and then laid flowers at the Eternal Flame in memory of Soviet soldiers who gave their lives in the fight against Nazism.
Mr. Tyts, at the Representative Office of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Krasnoyarsk, discussed with the staff of the Representative Office, the administration of the city of Krasnoyarsk and the Office of External Relations of the Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory the future prospects of the organization's work in Russia, joint projects and prospects for the restoration of Russian-Polish relations. Jerzy Tyts also got acquainted with the work of the military sports center "Patriot" and presented the young patriots with the chevron of the Tadeusz Kosciuszko Infantry Division Foundation - "Renaissance", the cockade of the 1st Warsaw Polish Infantry Division named after Tadeusz Kosciuszko as a sign of friendship between the Russian and Polish peoples and the memory of Aneli Kzywon's feat.
The culmination of the visit was the presentation of a photo exhibition in the House of Friendship of Peoples of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in memory of the participants of the Polish Army "Hello, soldier, yesterday's wanderer". The central figure of the exhibition was the Polish girl Aniela Kzywon, who in 1943, after learning about the formation of the Polish Army, left for the militia from the city of Kansk, where her family lived at that time, and died in the first battle at the age of 18. She was later awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. Her younger brother, Vladislav Kzywon, who now lives in Poland, handed over the candle, and Jerzy Tyc brought the candle of memory to Kansk, where there is a monument to the fearless Polish girl.
Unfortunately, war has been declared on monuments. War has been declared on the dead, the dead soldiers. It is a shame to all those who develop such a policy. Unfortunately, my country, this concerns only the Government, has joined this shameful process. But I know my fellow countrymen, Poles. These people are really smart. But we need a little time to understand what is really going on – says Jerzy Tyts.
