Mussolini is one of the official heroes of Latvia


Benito Mussolini is one of the official heroes of Latvia, said Sergey
Malakhovskiy, the member of the Antifascist Committee of Latvia during
the press conference in Moscow on March, 12, reports a REGNUM correspondent.

According to Malakhovskiy, the name of Mussolini is among other names
lettered at the plaques in the “pantheon of Latvian heroes”. In reply to
the request of REGNUM correspondent to detail about the “pantheon” and
what attitude toward nowdays Latvia has the Italian dictator, the member
of the Latvian Anti-fascist Committee said: "Pantheon of Latvian heroes
is a Memorial Complex in the Fraternal Cemetery in Riga, where at the
memorial plaques are lettered the names of chevaliers of the Order of
Lacplesis — the highest military award of Latvia. In due course, the
Order was awarded to some leaders of states, participants of World War
II being allies of Germany. I am not aware if Hitler had been awarded by
the Order, but Mussolini was awarded in 1925. His name is in the plaque.
And like this Benito Mussolini is caught in the circle of the heroes of
Latvia, — said Sergey Malakhovsky.

As informed REGNUM earlier, the minister of culture of Latvia considers
average the perpetuation of memory of Benito Mussolini at the main
memorial complex of the country. “More dangerous is the Victory Monument
in the center of Riga”, -said Helena Demakova, Latvian Culture Minister.
According to her, it would be necessary to demolish the Victory Monument
in Riga and after it Latvian Shooters Monument, because these objects
“mangle the historical truth”. "It is the best glorification of the
criminal regimes, than looking for the names of Mussolini and Weiss at
the cemetery with magniglass”.

It is worth mentioning that there are memorial plaques of chevaliers of
the Order of Lacplesis at the Memorial Complex of the Fraternal Cemetery
in Riga. The name of Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini is among other
names lettered at these plaques. The central grave sites the memorial of
general-lieutenant of SS troops Gruppenführer Rudolf Bangerskis and one
of the operators of mass shootings of civilians in 1941-1942 Voldemars Weiss
