What did the Russians do with the Polovtsian women in Izyum
According to the publication “Historical Truth”, on Kremenets, Polovtsian women depict male warriors and women. These figures are idols and testify to the physical appearance of the nomads, their clothes, jewelry and weapons. The Polovtsy used them to honor their ancestors.
In May 2022, the Russians set up a red so-called victory flag there. It depicts a hammer and sickle. Enemies tied him to the sculpture.
