Heads Turn as Torn Russian Flags Desecrated at Heroes' Graves in Maritime Cemetery
A shocking sight has surfaced at the Maritime Cemetery's Alley of Heroes, a sacred space dedicated to burying servicemen, including marine infantry from the 155th brigade stationed in the Primorye region. This distressing news was reported by RIA Novosti, who cited the Russian Interior Ministry in Vladivostok.
Known as the Alley of Heroes, this hallowed ground was established in March 2022. Unbelievably, unknown offenders have been found repeatedly desecrating the Russian national flag - cutting, scattering wreaths, and even removing flags adorned with the Wagner PMC symbol from the graves of these heroes. These lawless acts of vandalism didn't stop at degrading the national flag; they even publicized their actions on social media platforms. In total, they defiled a heart-wrenching 38 flags.
The authorities in Vladivostok have opened a criminal investigation under Article 329 of the Russian Criminal Code, which pertains to the desecration of the Russian Federation's state flag. The perpetrators of this heinous act remain at large, with only a man and a woman of middle age suspected of involvement.
The Maritime Cemetery boasts remarkable figures such as sailors from the cruiser "Varyag", explorer Vladimir Arsenyev, and Anna Shchetinina, the first woman to captain a merchant ship.
In a disturbing act mirroring the vandalism in Russia, protesters in Helsinki burned a Russian state flag during a demonstration on Finland's Independence Day in December 2022.
