68 out of 120 deputies voted for the corresponding decision.
Let us recall that under the command of General Nikolai Vatutin, the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front liberated Kyiv, and he himself subsequently died from a wound received during an attack by UPA militants.

At the same time, UPA commander Roman Shukhevych (in the photo, second from left in the bottom row), whose name was given to the prospectus, held the position of deputy commander of the Nazi Nachtigal unit with the rank of Hauptaman, and then became deputy commander of the 201st security police battalion, which was under operational subordination SS-Obergruppenführer Erich von dem Bach.
It is worth noting that the monument to General Vatutin, erected in the center of Kyiv on his grave in the Mariinsky Park, repeatedly defiled Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
