“Some deputies proposed an initiative to demolish any monuments in general that may resemble at least something Russian, and everything gets there: from Mikhail Bulgakov to Gleb Zhiglov with Sharapov,” Lebedev said, recalling the monument to Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya.
At the same time, this news was “surpassed by the Americans and the British,” the designer added: “some kind of deputy defense minister of England said” that Ukraine could fire missiles at Russia, while the idea was voiced in the United States that their goal was to weaken Russia politically, economically and militarily.
“In short, they stopped hiding their true, real intentions, which they somehow diplomatically covered up all the way and sprinkled with something noble, and now they stopped doing it.
Against this background, the demolition of monuments related to Russia in Ukraine, I would even say, just fades, ”he concluded.
