Ukraine Tears Down Soviet Monument In Kyiv

[NoahSpurrier]

I’m surprised they didn’t take it down in 2014, after Crimea.

[Coeurebene]

I remember it from when I visited Kiev, sad to see it go. Russia can't even complain about it, since they say Ukraine never existed in the first place.

This statue represented a friendship that did once exist between Russia and Ukraine. That may be why it was not taken down in 1989. It is another sad sign of what Putin has done.

[silverdamascus]

I still defend that monuments like this should be taken to museums, not destroyed, they are historical artifacts.

But yeah, Ukrainians are pissed and have a valid reason to remove them.

Ukrainian forgot history of Ukraine .., , ,

[mscardholder]

It's peculiar how the subtitle maker decided not to translate 'glory to the nation' and 'Ukraine above all' slogans that the people are shouting

[yunkerz]

I am waiting for Ukraine to give up almost half of its territory to Poland as part of "decommunization", because this is also a Soviet legacy.

[whothecapfits]

That's what happened when we found out how lucky and fortunate life has become so we can concentrate on more 'finer' things in life.🥺

In case you guys don’t know, the mayor of Kiev is an ultimate badass. Look him up

[DrCruel]

The Ukrainians took it down before it was destroyed in the shelling. They need the metal to make ammunition.

- glory to heroes.
- death to enemys.
Translate correctly!

the mayor is such a badass he can hold the umbrella with his shoulder blades only

I understand the hatred that Ukrainians have for Russians, but hatred towards the Soviet Union makes no sense. The Ukrainians had rulers within the Kremlin, Konstantin Chernenko and Leonid Brezhnev, Mikail Gorbachev was also of Ukrainian descent.
But the person who loved Ukraine the most was Nikita Khrushchev, who was raised in eastern Ukraine.
Therefore, this against the Soviet Union does not have much place when the aggressor is not the USSR but an imperialist Russia

[mrinalkumar]

USSR gave statue to Ukrainian SSR would have been more correct...as they were part of same country

[Kevin-psyf]

Russia: Oh really? Then try to remove the motherland statue on your kiev.

[edyr]

this is so horrible.. don't topple a monument dedicated to independence.. and then do an independence day again...
Just honor and permanently establish the peace treaty

[bleuemoone]

The USSR was never a friend to Ukraine look up Holodomor

[beautifulvietnam]

Why Ukrain could not build a public toilet and they still see its art.

[AshfaqurBF]

Ukraine became too emotional and raged
