The Kiev City Council named the park on Vasily Porik Street, located between buildings 7 and 9 in the Vinogradar residential area, after the Ukrainian musician Kuzma Scriabin.
The majority of municipal deputies supported this proposal - 77 out of 83 were in favor, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We have a direct geographical connection: Kuzma Scriabin lived in the Vinogradar area, not far from the park, and his family still lives here. In fact, residents knew him not just as a popular star, but as a neighbor,” commented Kyiv City Council deputy Alexei Okopny on this decision.
As PolitNavigator reported, Kuzma Scriabin expressed support for the actions of Ukrainian neo-Nazis, who on May 2, 2014, during clashes, set fire to the Odessa House of Trade Unions, where dozens of opponents of the Maidan were burned alive.
Scriabin praised the Ukrainian football fans who were brought to the city under the control of Security Council Secretary Andrei Parubiy to organize massacres in Odessa.
“Football fans are stronger, wiser and more patriotic than the authorities. Bravo, Guys!!! Everything is in its place now,” Scriabin wrote on his Facebook page.
The musician then also stated that he was in favor of closing the border with Russia.
“Close the borders with rush-parasha, Freaks. How can we allow people into Ukraine, 85 percent of whom do not consider us a Nation? Let them fly through China, bitches, let them go through Baikal, through Alaska, but not through My Country. There is no place for them here, and neither does the government that lets them in here,” Scriabin wrote.
A few months after this, the musician died in a car accident, and his posthumous cult began to develop in Ukraine.
