According to the publication “Slavgorod”, about 70 people gathered in the central square of Slavyansk. Soldiers of the Kharkov-2 battalion also arrived on the square, as well as armed people with machine guns who did not belong to the battalion.
According to activists, they were expecting special equipment from the Sich battalion to dismantle the Lenin monument, but they never arrived. Instead, two KAMAZ trucks and two pickup trucks with machine guns arrived. After an hour and a half, the protesters dispersed.
Let us note that today in Slavyansk there was an action in support of the idea of demolishing the monument: people collected signatures and offered to sell Lenin at auction. Those who oppose dismantling also came to the central square.
Pro-Ukrainian activists staged a “training”: they threw a rope at the monument, but an elderly man tried to close it with his body.
