Swastika on a monument in Orsk

At the end of October 2007, in the city of Orsk, Orenburg Region, in Malishevsky Park, unidentified persons desecrated a grave-monument to the fighters of the civil war. Numerous emoticons, obscene expressions, artist's autographs, as well as a swastika are applied to the monument with colored paints.

An employee of the local museum of local lore, Tatiana Cherkass, believes that, most likely, "art" is the work of juvenile hooligans and has no ideological or political underpinnings. According to T. Cherkas, the monument attracted teenagers with its abandonment.
