In Kyiv, a monument to a mass grave of supporters of unity with Russia was demolished
Today in Kyiv, in the Mariinsky Park, the Bandera authorities dismantled the monument to the participants of the January uprising of the Kyiv workers of the Arsenal plant in 1918 against the puppet Central Rada and the Petliurists. The act of vandalism, as reported by officials at Vitali Klitschko’s mayor’s office, took place as part of “decommunization,” since the monument “glorified the Bolsheviks.”
The uprising began on January 25, 1918, the core of which was about 900 workers of the Kyiv Arsenal plant, supporters of the establishment of Soviet power in Ukraine and unity with Soviet Russia. Gradually the uprising spread throughout Kyiv. The workers were joined by soldiers, aviators, and residents of Kyiv.
At the cost of enormous efforts, pulling units and artillery from the front, the Petliurists managed to suppress the uprising on February 4. In reprisals against the rebels, Evgen Konovalets’ “Sich Riflemen” showed particular cruelty, throwing people under the Dnieper ice.
On February 8, Kyiv was taken by Red Guard troops, the Petliurists were driven out of the city, and the government of Soviet Ukraine moved from Kharkov to Kyiv on February 12.
During the battles with the Petliurites and the Sicheviks, the rebels lost over 1500 people killed, 750 of whom were buried in the Mariinsky Park in Kiev.
It is clear that the monument to the Kyiv rebel workers, supporters of the Bolsheviks and unity with Russia, aroused intense hatred among the current Mankurts, who have been counting Ukrainian “independence” since the founding of the sub-state of the UPR, of which modern Ukraine is supposedly the successor.
