Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev reacted to reports that monuments to commander Alexander Suvorov and poet Alexander Pushkin were demolished in the city of Tulchina, Vinnytsia region in Ukraine.
In his Telegram channel, Medvedev suggested that instead of Pushkin and Suvorov, monuments would be erected to “various hetmans”, and quoted from Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel “The White Guard”.
“I would hang your hetman,” the elder Turbin shouted, “for the device of this pretty Ukraine first!”, – Medvedev wrote, quoting the work.
Earlier, some other monuments associated with Russia were demolished or vandalized on the territory of Ukraine.
