Vilnius removed Russian monuments
Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, announced the closure of a number of Russian-language plaques located on Pilimo Street and Gedimino Avenue. The plaques, installed in the 1960s to commemorate the shootings of a workers' demonstration during the First Russian Revolution of 1905–1907, were deemed undesirable by Lithuanians and removed. No new plaques are being installed, and the old ones are being sent for temporary storage for a period of five years.
Summary:
Lithuanian authorities have removed Russian-language plaques commemorating the events of 1905–1907 and plan to store them for five years without installing new ones.
