    I was wondering who it was.

    Pyotr Krasnov, historian, antisemite and Nazi collaborator. Krasnov was a commander of the Don Cossacks who fought against the Communists during the Russian Civil War

    Turns out commies really don’t like Nazis so it’s not surprising at all. Especially considering the geopolitical situation around that time.

      Looking into the specific monument, it appears to be in someone’s front garden, and there’s been legal attempts to have it removed.
