At the same time, they want to move the Glinka monument to another location because it has the status of a monument of national importance.

Ukrainian authorities began demolishing monuments to Russian and Soviet figures after the outbreak of the conflict in Donbass in 2014. When hostilities began in February 2022, the country created a Special Council for De-Russification and Decommunization, and in May 2023 adopted a law that simplified the dismantling of monuments. Russian authorities consider the practice of demolishing monuments in neighboring countries “astonishing ignorance,” RBC recalls.
