Unknown vandals left the Soviet War Memorial in the centre of Vienna smeared with red paint, Monday. The facade of the memorial was blotched with paint, which covered its golden inscriptions of Soviet leader Josef Stalin's orders to capture Vienna, ahead of its liberation from Nazi Germany in April 1945.

The Russian Embassy in Austria urged the Austrian authorities to take all measures necessary to protect the memorial, which was previously vandalised in 2015.

The construction, which commemorates the 17,000 Soviet war dead who died capturing the city, was completed on August 19, 1945.
