MARIUPOL (DPR), October 19 - RIA Novosti. The authorities of Mariupol dismantled the memorial to the “Victims of the Holodomor”, installed 18 years ago in the city center near the drama theater.
The Mariupol memorial was dismantled on Wednesday morning with the use of a crane, granite will be processed into building materials. The memorial sign was installed in 2004 under the President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma in a small park on University Street.
On a low rectangular pedestal made of black and red granite, divided into two parts, there are ears of corn tied with a ribbon and tangled scraps of barbed wire. In the first decade of the XXI century, similar memorials appeared in many cities of Ukraine.
In Kiev, such a sign was installed even earlier - in 1993, a stele with a hole in the form of a cross appeared at the wall of the Mikhailovsky Golden-Domed Monastery, in which the figures of the Mother of God and the child are fixed. 15 years later, an extensive museum complex was built near the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.
“In turn, the collaborator, head of the Department of Donetsk National University, Candidate of Historical Sciences Artem Bobrovsky claims that there was no Holodomor in Ukraine.
According to him, it was not Ukraine or Donbass that suffered the most from the famine of 1932-33, but Kazakhstan, the Volga region and the North Caucasus.
Olga Shmachkova, a teacher at the Azov State Technical University, said that residents of Mariupol “should not irritate their souls with reminders of the tragedies of the past.”
