Possible the vandalisim was carried out on Pushkin's statue due to his Black ancestry. Lvov is a heavy skin head culture zone.

The dimwits probably thought it was dedicated to Putin.

Pushkin had 12.5% (1/8th) abyssinian ancestry and close to 100% cultural Russity. More, he is a Russian cultural icon, so make it 500%. To avoid being shaven by Occam razor, one would have to accept that the intensity of skinhead culture in Lviv is more than 40 times greater than that of anti-Russian feeling. I'd find such calculation hard to believe.

I have read lots of articles about skinhead attacks on Pushkin because he is part Black.

The question is will these skinheads write anything that will be required reading in schools hundreds of years later?

They probably spray-painted a few obscenities, some of which will be still in use [both in and out of schools] centuries later. Reading these will be if not exactly required, then anyway unavoidable. Nevertheless I doubt they were exhibiting much originality.

Thanks for the search. However, the articles I checked from it are the results of search terms superposition - skinheads are skinheads and Pushkin is Pushkin, mentioned in the context of an example from the non-skinheaded past.

Thank you vox - I see that the skinheads have the communist flag of dear old Papa Joe. It must bring a tear to Putin's eye to see these kids appreciating the past.
Ah yes, and they are buring the American Flag - Any comments destrojb6garyspfcrussianconservative?

Of course the truth is that the monument was vandalized because of Pushkin's Russian ancestry. Russia's contempt and hatred for their fellow slavs has caused a backlash against them. That's what they should expect if they keep acting like they can walk all over their former Soviet slaves and rebuild their monstrous genocidal empire.

You are the one who supports
nazi skinheads just because they are controlled by Yushchenko's opposition, the "Social Democrats."

Sounds like religious conservatives are standing up for their rights. Good for them. Your Yanukovich crime gang would have opened fire on them like he asked Kuchma to do to the Orange protesters.
I'm too busy fighting the godless socialist school system in America to worry about Ukraine's education system. That's just one of the differences between you and me: I'm worried only about America. You put the interests of foreigners above those of the US.

Why bother with Pushkin when there must be at least a few real live Africans in the city or the country? I really doubt Pushkin's drop of African blood had anything to do with it.
The fact that Pushkin was something of a Russian nationalist in his day and had long been required reading in the Ukraine may have. Or maybe just that he was associated with long years in school. Why reject Pushkin as Black when there are othe reasons to do so?
Yurii Mamin's movie "Sideburns" featured a gang of toughs who combined the nationalistic fervor of skinheads with Pushkinesque fashion. It was strictly fiction, but an interesting variation on the whole skinhead phenomenon.
