Reminds me of the story of the Alexander Matrosov memorial. A Ukrainian Soviet soldier who blocked the opening of a Nazi machine gun nest by shoving his body into it, absorbing gunfire and shielding his comrades, enabling them to advance on the position. The fascist government of Ukraine dismantled the memorial in his hometown of Dnipro, and is attempting to rewrite history but claiming he had never been to Ukraine and was a Turkic Bashkir using a false name.
And at least two monuments of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, Soviet partisan girl hanged by Germans - one of those was destroyed in mocking way by coiling the rope noose around the figure neck and pulling the monument to the ground.

Ukraine had also destroyed the memorial of Ivan Kozhedub - Soviet Ukrainian airman who had the highest score out of all Allied aces.
