The Embassy of Russia in Bulgaria has expressed indignation at the newest act of defiling the Soviet Army Monument in Sofia. "It is a pity that the monument, which must be a testimony to the gratitude to soldiers that liberated Europe and in particular Bulgaria from fascism, and gave their life to our peaceful future, has become a platform for demonstrating dubious political convictions," the official position of the Russian diplomatic mission reads.

The monument of the Soviet Army in Sofia has once again been covered in graffiti. The inscription "The Soviet Army Liberator of the thankful Bulgarian People" was painted over with a red spray and a new inscription called for the demolition of the monument. The monument of the Soviet army, located downtown Sofia has often been a subject to vandalism after the fall of Communism in this country.
