"Good idea! So why not rename the monument to Shchors in Kyiv a monument to the Cossack Mamai? And some future government will rename it something else. And there will be no need to destroy cultural values like the barbarians from ISIS,” - This is how user Alexander Levchenko responded to the incident.
And user Alexander Balenko made fun of him:
“I propose to develop a unified project “Monument to the Hero” with a replaceable head and an inscription on the pedestal. In several of the most popular versions: standing, sitting, on a horse, on an armored car, etc.”
In turn, the famous Ukrainian left-wing activist and editor-in-chief of the online magazine Liva.com.ua Andrey Manchuk believes that the current Ukrainian reality will soon make the absurdist fantasies of the classic of modern Russian prose Viktor Pelevin come true.
“The matter did not end with the decommunization of trees: “Rename the monument to V.I. Chapaev, located in the city of Volnovakha, Donetsk region, into the “Kozak” monument. We were born to make Pelevin come true,” - he wrote on his social network page.
