Huge Soviet-era monument taken down in Kyiv as Ukraine continues 'derussification' #TheArtNewspaper

“A Soviet-era monument believed to glorify Ukraine’s ties to Russia is being dismantled on orders of the Kyiv city government in the latest stage of derussification following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Kyiv’s Department of Territorial Control announced the start of the monument’s removal in a Facebook post on 30 April, stressing its massive size: “The sculptural composition is large, consists of about 20 elements weighing between 6,000kg and 7,000kg each. Due to the complexity of the design, dismantling may take a few days.””

A campaign to “de-Russify” Ukraine is under way.

The backlash against Russian culture in Ukraine had been picking up steam since 2014, when Russia occupied the Donbas and Crimea. But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, together with the horrors committed by its troops, has sent it into overdrive.

De-Russification has mostly been a bottom-up process or a matter of individual preference, as opposed to government policy.
