A total of 139
monuments of the Communist totalitarian regime leaders have been dismantled in
Ukraine, according to the 2015 report of the Cabinet of Ministers submitted to
the Verkhovna Rada, approved on February 1, 2016.
"Forty monuments to Lenin
lost their status of monuments; 139 monuments of the Communist totalitarian
regime leaders have been dismantled (order of the Ministry of Culture of
November 26, 2015)," the document says.
The report also notes that new
approaches to the celebration of historical events and honoring the fighters
against Nazism have been laid down.
As UNIAN reported earlier, on
April 9, 2015, the Verkhovna Rada adopted Law No. 2558 "On condemnation of
the Communist and National Socialist totalitarian regimes in Ukraine and
banning the promotion of their symbols."
