Krasnodar authorities declare non-participation in removing Stalin billboards

According to the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), Krasnodar authorities were involved in dismantling billboards with portraits of Stalin from city streets; however, officials from the Mayoralty and territorial administration state that that they had nothing to do with the action.

Let us remind you that the local regional branch of the CPRF had placed congratulatory banners on the Victory Day with a portrait of Josef Stalin at public transport stops in Krasnodar. On May 6, it was reported that all the banners had disappeared.

CPRF activists intend to achieve the opening of a criminal case against those who at night on May 6 stole 14 billboards from transport stops in the city centre.

The posters with Stalin portraits, Saint George's ribbons and the Order of the Patriotic War had nothing to do with CPRF propaganda, assert its activists.
