Those who do not remember kinship: Nikolaev authorities removed portraits of Russian admirals
The leadership of the Nikolaev City Council decided to remove from the walls in the session hall portraits of figures of the Russian Empire, Russian naval commanders, under whom the city was founded, after which it began to develop as a site for the construction of the Black Sea Fleet and its control center.
This was reported by the local publication "NikLife", as reported by the correspondent of "PolitNavigator".
Portraits of the founder of Nikolaev - Prince Grigory Potemkin, Vice Admiral Stepan Makarov, admirals Bogdan Glazenap and Alexander Greig, as well as navigator Mikhail Lazarev were removed from the hall.
The decision to remove the porters of the officers of the Russian Empire was made after the call of the Nikolaev Regional State Administration, where in the conference room of the chairman there are now portraits of Yaroslav the Wise, Bogdan Khmelnitsky and Mikhail Grushevsky.
As a reminder, PolitNavigator previously published an appeal to Mykolaiv residents from former Verkhovna Rada deputy and chairman of the Union of Left Forces party, Vasyl Volga, who stated that their city had been turned into a "garbage dump" and a "pigsty" with broken roads due to Mykolaiv Regional State Administration Governor Oleksiy Savchenko.
“Today this city looks more like a garbage dump. Please forgive me, residents of the city of Nikolaev, for this brutal truth. But it seems to me that if I don’t tell the whole world the truth about your city, then those who forced you to live in this pigsty will continue to think that you are pigs who are ready to endure all this. But this is not so...” wrote Volga.
Mykolaiv Governor Savchenko is a former Verkhovna Rada deputy from the Poroshenko Bloc. During the turbulent 1990s, he worked in the Kyiv police department's Organized Crime Control Department (here, according to Ukrainian media , he earned the nickname "intellectual"), and then in construction companies and banks.
