In Kyiv, vandals poured red paint over the memorial to the writer Bulgakov

In Kyiv, vandals poured red paint over the memorial plaque of the Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov. This was reported by the portal “Strana.ua”.

Recently, the city authorities removed the inscription in Russian from the monument: “The famous Russian, Soviet writer Mikhail Bulgakov lived in this house.” Instead, the following words appeared in Ukrainian: “In this house in 1906-1919 lived an outstanding resident of Kiev, doctor, writer Mikhail Bulgakov.” However, this did not save the memorial from the hands of hooligans. The attackers doused the monument with red paint. At the same time, Bulgakov’s Kiev house-museum has already stated that they will not wash the board, noting that this is such a “communication”.

“Everything is clear why this is happening, because of what. History does not need to be banned, it needs to be explained that such individuals as Bulgakov require an explanation, because this is still our history. We must understand why it happened, why there were such views “Or not like that. Not everyone knows. Most often, they quote his works, not really understanding what the historical context is, what exactly he wrote, what his political views were,” said the director of the museum, Lyudmila Gubianuri.
