BADEN — A fire early Friday engulfed three vehicles and burnt through a one-story home’s floorboards and roof
Firefighters responded to the 300 block of Prospect Street after a husband discovered the fire as he went downstairs to a garage to head to work
The Baden Volunteer Fire Department was contacted at 4:23 a.m.
The couple was safely outside when firefighters arrived
The brick home with an addition had undergone remodeling
and so the fire quickly spread between rafters
“The first floor was starting to collapse into the basement when we got there,” Trzcianka said
That largely prevented firefighters from getting inside the structure
and the fire took about two hours until firefighters had it under control
Rochester Township’s Rapid Intervention Team was on standby
and the unit was assisted by Big Knob firefighters
Trzcianka said the fire appeared to be accidental

A new law targeting the legacy of Poland’s Soviet-dominated past requires the removal of monuments that glorify communism
The legislation has reignited a long-simmering debate in Poland
and prompted threats of a harsh response from Russia
A monument in the center of Brzeg dedicated to “Polish-Soviet brotherhood.” The law
which builds on previous decommunization efforts
comes into force in late October and calls for more than 200 monuments that “symbolize or propagate” totalitarian regimes to be removed from Poland’s streets
But while this monument will almost certainly be dismantled
Red Army soldiers immortalized in shining steel in Dabrowa Gornicza
Support for the legislation depends on the region
and even the individual monuments in question
Authorities in Dabrowa Gornicza have spoken out against the law and will reportedly hire archaeologists to search for human remains
which could legally protect several of the city’s Soviet monuments
which had its crowning communist star cut off in 2016
is reportedly slated for demolition as soon as the law comes into force
The column is dedicated to the Red Army’s victory over Nazi forces in World War II
after a secret pact was made between the U.S.S.R
the two totalitarian regimes turned against each other and the Soviet Army ultimately lost an estimated 600,000 soldiers pushing Nazi forces back across Polish soil
while Poland today marks the Red Army advance as the start of nearly 50 years of Soviet occupation
Poland’s Institute of National Remembrance (IPN)
which was established by parliament in 1998 to address “crimes against the Polish nation” during the Soviet and Nazi occupations of the country
says around 150,000 Poles were killed under Soviet rule
who oversaw the creation of the monument legislation
the first wave of changing street names and removal of soviet monuments was in the early 90s…
If we want to build some basis for our future history we need to finish it
It was our mistake that we didn’t do it completely in the 90s
and that’s why we need to finish it now.”(Photo: EPA)

Soviet crimes were smaller.” According to the IPN

Poland says the soldiers’ remains were relocated in the 1950s

Russia's Foreign Ministry has described the destruction as "akin to barbarism," and says there is no proof the bodies were ever exhumed
A memorial to Soviet soldiers who died fighting in Warsaw
Although the IPN earlier compiled a blacklist of Soviet street names
no definitive list of banned monuments has been made

An official in Warsaw’s city council told RFE/RL they had no plans to remove their Soviet monuments

Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo has pledged her government’s “full support” for the new law

A 2007 poll conducted by a national newspaper in Poland showed around 57 percent of respondents were against the removal of Soviet monuments
But Polish attitudes toward Moscow have hardened significantly since Russia's 2014 annexation of neighboring Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula

A local nationalist group has campaigned for its removal
“How do we teach our children the true story of our nation when we see a memorial to our tormentor every day,” it asks

A local told RFE/RL that villagers would physically prevent any attempt to remove the monument

Russian commentators have dubbed those behind the law “the Taliban of Europe,” a comparison that former IPN President Lukasz Kaminski rejects
“Our plan was not to destroy the monuments like the Taliban did
but to collect them in a special museum to show them as a sign of Soviet domination of Poland for future generations.”

The IPN has designated an existing Cold War museum in Podborsko
as the site where the monuments will be exhibited
A vandalized monument to the Red Army in Katowice
Russia has expressed its outrage at the new law
citing a 1994 bilateral treaty the countries signed that guaranteed the protection of war memorials
Poland says the treaty only applies to monuments erected over human remains
Russian Foreign Ministry officials have vowed “asymmetric” retaliation if Soviet memorials are touched
