Despite the fact that the anti-communist laws adopted by the Rada have not yet been signed by the president and have not entered into force, nationalist pogroms and vandalism are gaining momentum throughout the country. Late in the evening of April 17, 2015, vandals demolished two more monuments to the leader of the world proletariat in Kharkov.
IT Sektor Kharkov reported this on Twitter.
“On the evening of April 17, 2015, two more monuments to the leader of the world proletariat fell: on the territory of KhAI (National Aerospace University, Kharkov Aviation Institute named after N. E. Zhukovsky) and Polytech (National Technical University, Kharkov), the message says.
As Politnavigator reported, on the same day in Kramatorsk, during a nationalist march under the slogan “Kramatorsk is Ukraine,” pogromists in balaclavas toppled a monument to Lenin in this city.
During the procession, when all its participants gathered near the monument to T. Shevchenko, unknown persons drove a truck into the central square of the city and, using cables, toppled the monument to Lenin.
