The crowd demanded that the diplomat remove the Saint George’s ribbon from his jacket
An angry crowd has prevented the Russian ambassador to Poland, Sergey Andreev, from laying a wreath at a military cemetery in Warsaw on Victory Day.
The mob surrounded the Russian delegation as it arrived at the site on Tuesday.
They demanded that Andreev and others remove their Saint George’s ribbons, which are a symbol of World War II victory celebrations in Russia.
The ambassador refused to take off the ribbon, and had to leave the cemetery without laying a wreath.
