Mask of Sorrow: The Crying Monument of Magadan
Mask of Sorrow is a brutalist monument located in Magadan, Russia. The statue was designed to commemorate the people in the Gulag prison camps in the Kolyma region of the Soviet Union who lost their lives under harsh conditions. Ernest Neizvestny created the design; the monument’s constructor was Kamil Kazaev, and it was unveiled in 1996.

George Galloway was very upset about the demolition of a "monument of gratitude" to the Soviets in the Polish town of Głubczyce, and called it an "act of war".... The Kremlin's Lord Haw Haw made this ludicrous remark in reply to a Twitter post by "Spriter" - a vatnik account that spews out an endless torrent of Russian disinformation 24/7. And it's characteristic that Spriter was incapable of having a tantrum about the demolition of this monument without lying about it. His claim that it was "erected on the burial site of 500 dead Soviet soldiers" is completely untrue. First of all, although Głubczyce is now in Poland - before the Second World War it was the German town of Leobschütz, and only became Polish as a result of the 1945 Potsdam Agreement. Secondly, there are no Soviet soldiers buried anywhere in the town. Although Soviet monuments have gradually disappeared from view all over Poland (and the rest of central and eastern Europe), monuments that are inside cemeteries or over burial grounds remain untouched (in Poland at least), and the graves of Soviet soldiers would never be desecrated in such a way by the Polish authorities. In 2018, I took a trip to Warsaw's Praga district to visit and photograph sites commemorating victims of Stalinist terror, one of which is a memorial in Plot 45N of Bródno Cemetery. A short distance from the memorial, I was amazed to discover a plot containing the graves of fallen Soviet soldiers, which had been maintained in pristine condition, despite the fact that in all probability, nobody visits it anymore. I personally think that monuments like the one in Głubczyce should be preserved in museums rather than being demolished, but I can certainly understand the desire to remove them from public spaces. However, George Galloway's ridiculous reply to Spriter's tweet simply underlines the fact that he's a complete and utter clown - and also a total hypocrite. In April 2023, when a monument commemorating Polish and Lithuanian victims of Soviet deportation to Galashor in Perm Krai, Russia, was destroyed, gormless George didn't have anything to say about that. And in 2020, when authorities in the Russian city of Tver removed memorial plaques commemorating victims of the Katyń massacre from the former Soviet secret police building - claiming that their inscriptions were “not based on documented facts” (another Russian lie) - Galloway was unavailable for comment. And during their invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Russians removed, destroyed or damaged holodomor memorials, cemeteries, mass graves of Stalin's victims (including Polish victims of the Katyń massacre), holocaust memorials and numerous monuments that celebrated Ukrainian culture and identity - but George was probably too busy sucking Russian cocks to notice any of that....
