Workers will dismantle a Soviet-era sculpture in central Kyiv commemorating the “friendship” between Russians and Ukrainians, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced Monday.
“This week we will dismantle a bronze sculpture of two workers, erected in 1982 ‘to commemorate the reunification of Ukraine with Russia,'” Klitschko said. “The eight meters of metal of the so-called ‘friendship of two peoples’ will be removed from the center of Kyiv.”
A rainbow-shaped titanium arch stretches over the monument, which is perched on a scenic overview. Klitschko said the arch — originally called the People’s Friendship Arch — will remain, but that it would be renamed and highlighted with the colors of the Ukrainian flag.
