Ukrainian historian and political scientist Konstantin Bondarenko (pseudonym — Bone Bondarenko) sees nothing surprising in the fact that a monument to the writer Mikhail Bulgakov was demolished in Kiev.
"The people of Kiev could be on pedestals while Kiev was Kiev. The defeated and conquered city is subject to destruction and plunder—alas!" — He said.
When in 1 453 Constantinople turned into Istanbul, the remnants of the former Byzantine nobility also resented the demolition of numerous statues and the transformation of Hagia Sophia into Hagia Sophia. But they were outraged very quietly, the historian recalled.
"In 2014, Kiev turned into a Big Hatsapetovka. Why should the new conquerors act differently from the soldiers of Sultan Mehmed Fatih? What is the point of the authorities of the Big Hatsapetovka on the banks of the Dnieper River to preserve images of those who are the personification of Kiev? Vae victis, as they said in another village, formed in the 5th century on the site of a once thriving metropolis. Woe to the vanquished," concluded Bondarenko.
As EADaily reported, in Kiev on June 4, the monument to Mikhail Bulgakov, which was located on Andreevsky Descent, was dismantled. The monument was opened in October 2007, the monument became the world's first monument to the author of The Master and Margarita. The bronze monument was located near the house of the former literary and memorial museum of the writer. The authors of the sculpture are Honored Artist of Ukraine Nikolay Rapay and Honored Architect of Ukraine Vyacheslav Dermidontov.
