Most Ukrainians are Not ready to abandon mutual with Russia's history, for that reason oppose the manifestations of decommunization and try to restore the destroyed monuments to Lenin. At the same time the authors have Not long ago adopted law banning Communist symbols are afraid that the "Soviet past" can help the development of schizophrenia in children. About these contradictions Laura mills, a journalist with The wall Street Journal.
Creator indicates that at least 4000 of settlements, where the main street is named in honor of the Soviet leader, for this reason, from her point of view, it is logical that the use of the law on decommunization of Ukraine is obliged to cause a number of issues.
Among the main issues mills, referring to the local municipalities, calls some confusion, as well as the sale of a number of voters ", tightly associating Ukraine with the Soviet past.
"Not all Ukrainians are ready to abandon mutual (with Russia ) history, which remains valid and is passed on from generation to generation," writes the analyst.
Mills cites the example of Kyiv suburb Borodyanka, in which local residents were opposed to even move the monument to Lenin from the center of residential settlements on the outskirts. In 2014 he had twice been destroyed. To protect the sculpture stood even the head of Borodyanka, 22 April 2015 at the site of the destroyed monument installed a marble bust of the leader, which, incidentally, later also disappeared.
at the same time, says the Creator of the article, one of the authors of the law fears that the children may have schizophrenia, if the law does Not act.
"Children on the books already read about the fact that Lenin was a lawbreaker, but on the way to school every day walking down the street and see a statue of Lenin. We contributes to the development of schizophrenia, " said Volodymyr viatrovych, the head of the Ukrainian Institute of national memory, which participated in writing the law.
However, the Ukrainians, mills, disagree with the position of the leadership of the country.
"It's Not the main problem of our country at the moment. This is populism. It's Not the monuments must be overthrown, and the people who create problems for us, " said one of the residents of Borodyanka.
