Photograph of Soviet military officer Ivan Shevchenko fallen during World War II on the ground of the Soviet War Memorial at the Central Cemetery in Brno, Czech Republic, pictured on February 9, 2016 after an unsuccessful amateurish restoration. Red Army sergeant Ivan Shevchenko was born in 1915 in Kiev (Ukraine) and died at age about 30 on April 25, 1945 in the battle for the village of Blažovice near Brno in South Moravia, Czechoslovakia. His photograph installed by the relatives after the war on the mass grave where his body rests was unsuccessfully restored recently by unknown amateurs. The plaque with the unsuccessful restored photograph was removed totally by the Russian Embassy shortly after the result of the amateurish restoration works was spread in the social networks. Soviet soldiers who died in the very last days of World War II were buried far away from their homes and some of their graves look abandoned and unvisited now. Their photographs are gradually destroyed by time and there are no sources to replace them by the new ones.
