The Ministry of Culture of Ukraine intends to legalize the "fight against hundreds of names of streets of Pushkin"

Tkachenko said that a law pending in the Rada to "overcome the consequences of Russification" had been approved by the Ukrainian government.

“He (law. -

) will allow the legal process to continue the process of fighting hundreds of Pushkin street names, which already took place last year,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Tkachenko added that the initiative is aimed at standardizing the procedure for the elimination of Russian toponyms and monuments on the territory of Ukraine.

Earlier, a monument to Hero of the Soviet Union Alexander Matrosov was dismantled in Dnipro.

Also, a bust of the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin was dismantled in Kramatorsk on the territory of the DPR controlled by Kyiv.

On November 30, the decision to dismantle the monuments to Catherine II and Suvorov was made in Odessa.
