According to STRANA.ua, decorative relief shields, on which Soviet leaders or communist symbols were depicted, are covered with white canvases.

It is noted that they want to dismantle the shields in the metro, but this is not possible, since the Vokzalnaya station is an immovable object of cultural heritage. The management of the metro sent a request to the relevant authorities.

Earlier, the Ukrainian TV channel "24" reported that a monument to the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin was dismantled in Kyiv.

On October 17, in Odessa, paint was poured on the Alexander Column, located in Shevchenko Park.
