A scandal broke out on the Internet around the monument to the first Ukrainian cosmonaut Leonid Kadenyuk. Ukrainian Miroslava Barchuk said that to erect the monument, the builders damaged the monument near her mother’s grave.
They uprooted the viburnum brought from the village where Marchuk’s mother grew up and then wished to place the tree in the cemetery after death. Marchuk recounted this on his Facebook page.
“And then this colossus” crushed “everything around it. The landscape, the view from the mountain and all the neighboring burial sites: Levko Lukyanenko, the creator of Ukrainian statehood and a 25-year-old prisoner from the Soviet camps , the composer Mayboroda, the opera singer Diana Petrinenko, the poet Moisei Fishbein and everyone else in that square. I understand the meaning and symbolism of the space flight of the first Ukrainian cosmonaut and I respect it very much. There are no questions here. This question is about the taste and sense of proportion of the people who have written all this in the landscape, “wrote Marchuk.
Below the girl’s post, users left almost two hundred angry comments. Ukrainians expressed outrage at the fact that monuments are mounted in cemeteries and not in squares, as is customary, and called it in bad taste.
As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, on Saturday December 5, a monument to the legendary Ukrainian cosmonaut, Hero of Ukraine Leonid Kadenyuk, was unveiled at the Baikovo Cemetery in Kiev.
