Zelensky will disfigure the Motherland monument in Kyiv
The coat of arms of the USSR will be dismantled from the famous Motherland monument in the center of Kyiv.
Such plans were announced today at a press conference by the new head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory, Anton Drobovich, appointed under Vladimir Zelensky, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Drobovich said that the Paton Electric Welding Institute has developed a method for dismantling the USSR coat of arms. This is supposedly required by the scandalous law “On Decommunization”. The method is expensive and difficult to implement, the official admitted.
“Literally the day before yesterday I was informed that the Paton Institute has a solution on how to dismantle it, but this solution will be very expensive. We, of course, will turn with the corresponding initiative to the Ministry of Culture in order to include this in the state budget next year, but first we will consult with citizens whether they are ready to pay such funds from their taxes, or we will offer to come up with some more graceful option for solving these problems ", he explained.
At the same time, Drobovich called on citizens to share “good ideas” on how to inexpensively dismantle the coat of arms from the shield on the Motherland monument.
At the same time, he noted that the dismantling process itself is technically complex and carries a high risk of damaging the entire structure of the monument.
“If you load it with a cradle or some kind of structures, they can outweigh the Motherland. There is a very complex engineering structure that cannot be unbalanced. In the hand with the sword there is a pendulum that balances this statue. If we hang a lot of engineering devices to dismantle the shield, they can tilt the statue,” added Vyatrovich’s heir.
