Right but they’re removing the thing that those people fought and died for. Which is why I wonder whether they’re going to remove them as well. It is turning a soviet memorial to the dead that fought for the soviet union against the nazis into a symbol of ukrainian nationalism.
It seems like a terrible waste of resources too at this time to have labour going into this in the middle of a war instead of doing war construction, when the decommunisation law explicitly excludes and protects ww2 memorials from defacement. The only reason I can think of for doing this now while there is no political opposition is because it might be difficult to do later when a political opposition finally exists again.
