A monument to the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin will be demolished in Odesa.
Oleg Kiper, the head of Odesa OVA, stated this in an interview with “City of Power”.
The journalist asked the official whether they plan to demolish the monument to Pushkin. Kiper noted that an order for the demolition of this monument and others has already been signed.
“Yes, it is also at disposal, there is a signature regarding its demolition. Today, all the letters regarding the demolition of such monuments have been distributed,” said the head of Odesa OVA.

On August 23, the mayor of Odesa, Gennadiy Trukhanov, stated that the monument to Pushkin in the city cannot be demolished, as it is included in the UNESCO register.
“Today, all kinds of European delegations, European tourists come – they know who Pushkin is and say that he was there, worked, wrote some of his works. He was here, by the way, in exile. Plus, when we submitted our motivational dossier to UNESCO, we noted, and UNESCO knows about it, that this is cultural heritage,” said the mayor.
On Wednesday, June 5, communal workers dismantled the pedestal of the monument to Alexander Pushkin in Kharkiv.
During the full-scale war in Ukraine, 34 monuments to the Russian writer Alexander Pushkin were dismantled. The first was demolished in the city of Mukachevo on April 7, 2022.
We will remind you that earlier the Vilnius City Self-Government Council was preparing to consider the issue of renaming the Alexander Pushkin Literary Museum to the Markuchiai Manor Museum.
Earlier we wrote that the mayor of Chernivtsi, Roman Klichuk, announced that the second and last monument to the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin was dismantled in the city.
