Soviet-era monument dismantled in Kyiv as Ukraine continues ‘de-Communisation’ process
Workers on Saturday (9 December) dismantled the Soviet-era monument of Red Army General Mykola Shchors from Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, as a gesture of the country’s “‘de-Communisation” process.
The Ministry of Culture gave permission to take down the statue and authorities were seen working for hours to dismantle the statue.
A few passers-by watched the proceedings and clapped when workers finished taking down the monument.
Heorhii Lukianchuk, a Kyiv resident, said he ran to witness this “historical moment” and that it will “be on the pages of history books.”
