STATEMENT OF THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE OF UKRAINE FOR DESTRUCTION "HOUSE OF SHEVCHENKO" In the city of Orenburg RF

Ministry of Culture of Ukraine is extremely perturbed fact of destruction in #Orenburg_house where during his exile was #Taras_Shevchenko. The lack of adequate response from the official authorities of this unprecedented act of vandalism, but in fact consent in violation of both international standards and domestic law in Russia, demonstrates the continued policy of aggressive attitude to the history and culture of the Ukrainian people and the rights of Ukrainian as the largest national minority living in the Russian Federation.




Demolished building was not only a unique memorial value through association with Taras Shevchenko as a figure of world importance, the 200th anniversary was recently celebrated at the highest international level (the General Conference 37 th anniversary session of UNESCO included in the calendar of memorable dates 2014-2015 years), but according to the Federal law "On protection of cultural heritage (monuments of history and culture) of the peoples of RF" the house has the status of historical monuments of federal significance (code sights 5610019000).
