“We are deeply outraged by the mockery of the memory of the outstanding Soviet military leader, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, Marshal of the Soviet Union KK Rokossovsky,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

It is noted that "the Polish authorities have not yet publicly expressed their attitude to this ugly incident."

The day before, it was reported that vandals had stolen a sculpture of Soviet and Polish Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky from a memorial cemetery in Legnica in western Poland; later she was found beheaded.

Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergei Andreev said that the diplomatic mission will require the Polish authorities to find and punish those responsible for the vandalism.
