About it reported the local website "0462".
The thugs loaded the bust into a trash can and took it under the walls of the city council, as they said, as a gift for the mayor of the city, Alexander Sokolov.
When the nationalists unloaded the bust, the security service approached them, and then the police. The police questioned the thugs and immediately released them.
Recall as “Politnavigator” already reported, Chernigov nationalists destroyed busts of the legendary Red Army commanders Krapivyansky and Shchors, and in February of this year - one of the founders of the Red Army, Antonov-Ovsienko and Podvoisky.
Now on the Alley of Heroes in Chernigov there are only monuments to the organizer of the Red Cossacks Primakov, the hero of the Soviet Union Kirponos and the local native, the hero of the Great Patriotic War Senko. However, given the activity of nationalist pogromists, which does not meet with opposition from the authorities and society, their fate remains in question.
As if in mockery, this act of vandalism occurred on the day when the Chernigov public traditionally bowed to the grave of Yuri Kotsyubinsky’s father, the writer Mikhail Kotsyubinsky, who was buried in Chernigov on Boldinaya Gora.
And here is a video of nationalist vandals shouting “Glory to Ukraine!” a bust of an outstanding Chernigov resident is pulled from a pedestal. Random passers-by shout after them, “Bastards!” You are killing the Ukrainian spirit.”
The remarks of the vandals in this video are noteworthy: “Kotsyubinsky and Shchors are not our history” and “Kotsyubinsky and Shchors are terrorists who created fake republics, just like the DPR and DPR now.”
However, it is possible that the nationalists, being a product of the education system of the last two decades, which carefully erased the memory of the past from Ukrainians, simply did not know what day it was.
