Sculpture of Lenin replaced by the flags.
To establish a memorial Board, agreeing that anyone in Kiev is not difficult. So, opposite the metro, on the pedestal where once stood the Lenin, almost three weeks as a memorial plaque to Alexander Muzychko known as “Sashko Bily”, and Oleg Muzzily (call sign “Lsny”), in addition, together with the national flag of Ukraine and the Trident being installed and the red and black flag of the OUN.
The authorities of the district and Kiev, in front of which it happened did not going to react to this fact. It is curious that none of the leadership of the city and right-wing organizations don’t know who did it. And creative ideas of replacement of the monument frozen.
“The party of the decree did not give”
More than two weeks on an empty pedestal in front of the metro, where once stood a statue of Lenin that adorns a plaque to the fighters of “Right sector”, the leaders of the nationalists Sasha White and the Woodsman, killed at different times by police officers during the arrest. Activists who installed the sign and flags before independence Day, according to their video on YouTube, called themselves members of “Right sector” and said that he installed the Board without permission, because the tune and Marcil were “heroes who were killed for the truth,” and therefore, permission to install a memorial plaque they do not need.
But officially, none of the nationalists did not take responsibility for installing the signs. The “Right sector,” said campaign activists is not an event of the party.
“Perhaps it was made by the members of the movement, but only on their own initiative, without coordinating with the headquarters,” the speaker “Right sector” Artem Skoropadsky.
His innocence as to this action and said the head of the OUN Nikolay Kohanivsky. “I have to do to dismantle the remnants of ideological monuments, not to decorate them,” he says.
In the Shevchenko district state administration “news” have told that do not know how the sign appeared on the pedestal. “Projects sculptures are agreed in the joint meetings of gradsovetom at the Department of architecture of Kyiv city state administration, and the Department of culture, attracting artists and architects. The installation of this composition was not consistent with anyone. But it seems to be not bothering anyone” — told us in the RGA.
What to replace Lenin
It is interesting that a year ago the authorities of Kiev held competition on the best composition which will be replaced on the pedestal of Lenin. Then well-known Kyiv businessman Garik Korogodsky was ready to allocate money for the construction of a new monument and offered a project created together with the sculptor Constantin Skretutsky, the idea of which was to create a multifunctional space with the clock without hands. But city hall project is not supported, giving the victory of the Mexican artist Cynthia Gutierrez. It was a double degree, which, according to Gutierrez, symbolized the movement of historical characters — from the rise to the decline and oblivion.
Now, it seems, the question of what will happen in the beginning of the Boulevard im. Shevchenko, no one in power cares. The Secretary of the Commission on culture Kyivrada Alexander pozhivanova said “news” that now actively of addressing the issue of replacing Lenin is not conducted. “I know that this question is studied in the mayor’s office, but some specific projects or tasks is now not” — said Pozhyvanov. In the meantime, authorities are in no hurry to remove the illegal sign and flags. “You did no one interferes with the flag in the city to hang. He Powys-Powys, and it will be removed. Nothing wrong with that,” said Pozhyvanov.
