In the temporarily occupied Genichesk, Kherson region, the Russian invaders erected a monument to Vladimir Lenin and hung out the flag of the Soviet Union. This was announced by the first deputy chairman of the Kherson Regional Council Yuriy Sobolevsky.

" Red banners, monuments of the Soviet era. And all this against the backdrop of a humanitarian crisis, severe harassment of dissent and the identification of citizenship,” Sobolevsky wrote on Facebook..

According to the deputy chairman of the regional council, in this way the invaders are trying to parasitize on the nostalgic moods of the population. However, he is sure that few residents of the Kherson region miss the Soviet past..

“The occupiers cannot understand this.. Therefore, the show "

Recall that Genichesk, like a number of other cities of Kherson, was occupied by the Russians on the first day of their invasion of the territory of Ukraine - February 24. On March 12, the City Council of Genichesk in full force resigned so as not to work with the occupiers. Later, information appeared that the Russian invaders began to prepare a referendum in the Kherson region to create a pseudo-republic. As reported by ZN. UA, for this they are going to commit a provocation - to shell the residential areas of Kherson and blame the Armed Forces of Ukraine for this.
