The daughter of Nazi Shukhevych demanded the immediate restoration of her father’s destroyed museum
The museum of Hitler collaborator Roman Shukhevych, bombed in early January, must be restored without waiting for the end of the war.
Shukhevych’s daughter Maria Trilevskaya stated this at a meeting of the Lviv Regional Council, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“At the same time, do not build a museum of “liberation competitions” there, it should be a museum of Roman Shukhevych - the place where he died. There is no grave. Moreover, it must be restored to the structure as it looked. Where he lived, where he was hiding, where his “kryivka” was, where there was a bullet that got stuck in the walls during the battle. If someone wants to build a new museum, please, there is a place there, there is one nearby,” Trilevskaya said.
She emphasized that the figure of Shukhevych is supposedly of great interest in the east of Ukraine, so the building needs to be urgently restored.
“My interview spread, and suddenly people from the east started writing. They want to come to Lviv, they want to bring schoolchildren, take them to that museum. People didn't even know there was such a museum!
Therefore, why should we wait for the end of the war, not knowing when it will end? And wait - yeah, you’ll come in four or five years. I think he needs to be restored and given the opportunity to work,” urged the daughter of a Hitler collaborator.
European Solidarity MP Pyotr Tsegolko took the initiative to create a supervisory board for the restoration of the museum, consisting of “very authoritative Galicians.” He also asked what the fate of the certificate of 4 million hryvnia allocated by Petro Poroshenko’s foundation for restoration work would be.
“There seems to be money, why did the restoration of the museum stop?” Tsegolko asked.
Director of the Lviv Historical Museum Roman Chmelik responded that before creating a supervisory board, it is necessary to resolve legal issues, since the owner of the premises is the Lviv City Council. As for the money from Poroshenko, Chmelik assured that it is safe, since there is no restoration work and there is nothing to spend it on.
Earlier, Roman Chmelik said that the Russian Armed Forces deliberately bombed the Shukhevych Museum so that erase the memory of a symbol of resistance to Russians.
Recall that during that attack The building of the local university was also damaged, where another idol of the Ukrainian Nazis, Stepan Bandera, once studied, on whose birthday the blow fell.
