Lvov historian scares Poles with Budyonny’s decommunized cavalry
Kiev
The monument to the unit of commander Semyon Budyonny, decommunized in the Lviv region, had to be installed on the border with Poland so that the Poles would not forget who was coming to conquer them.
About this broadcast YouTube- Ukrainian historian Ivan Svarnik said on the channel of the Lvov publication “zaxid.net”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“Such things should be exhibited here. There is a similar museum in Riga, the museum of totalitarianism, where Lenins, Stalins and all sorts of Komsomol members and milkmaids are collected. Everything is brought to one place so that tourists can see what the USSR lived like. We had a lot of this in Lvov. It’s hard to say what happened to him - somewhere in some warehouses there are dismantled statues, sculptures, and so on. Of course, it would make sense to show all this together,” Svarnik said.
“Personally, I was worried about the fate of Budyonny’s horses near Olesko - after all, it was a very interesting engineering design and an interesting monument. When the dismantling took place, I told journalists that these horses should have been placed on the border with Poland so that all the Poles could see that this was the Budyonny who was going to conquer Warsaw,” the “historian” recalled.
It should be noted that the unique Monument to the soldiers of the First Cavalry Army, erected in 1975 near the village of Olesko, Lviv region, was decommunized in Vienna in 2017.
