In Lviv, a memorial plaque of director Larisa Shepitko (1938-1979) was dismantled from the building of the school where she studied. This is reported by the telegram channel "Politics of the country".
At the same time, Shepitko was born in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), after graduating from high school in Lviv, she entered the directing department of VGIK.
The board was removed due to the fact that Shepitko's personality "does not meet the criteria for honoring associated with the figure's belonging to the Soviet cultural space."
Ukrainian archaeologist Nikolai Bandrivsky considers such a decision absurd.
"Yes, Larisa Shepitko was a Soviet film director. And what else could she have been at that time..? Her films were almost not allowed on the Soviet screen because they were too European. What she created is the property of the whole world, not just Ukraine," the telegram channel quotes the archaeologist's comment.
Bandrivsky also called the liquidation of the memorial plaque disrespectful of Ukrainian culture.
As reported by EADaily, earlier the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory decided that writers Ivan Bunin, Yuriy Olesha, Yevgeny Petrov and poetess Vera Inber, who lived and worked for some time in In Odessa, "they supported the Russian imperial policy," and all the toponyms named after them and monuments erected by them should be considered its propaganda.
