Dulkiewicz mentions Soviet "liberation" of Gdańsk — right wing outraged

Gdańsk Mayor Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, speaking at WWII anniversary ceremonies on Westerplatte, referred to the Soviet Red Army "liberating" Gdańsk and mentioned the German siege of Leningrad. Her words provoked a sharp reaction from right-wing politicians, who accused her of historical insensitivity. Some commentators sarcastically praised her "excellent timing."
