So, in the bot you can find an alphabetical list of figures, information about which is contained in it.

When choosing one or another name, a list will appear that includes the following sections: “What is known”, “Why does not deserve veneration? ”, “Cities in which the figure was honored”, “Monuments”.

At the same time, in the section \? » you can find different answers. For Alexander Pushkin it says “Russian chauvinist”, for Vladimir Vysotsky “no objective reasons have been found, but Ukraine has enough of its own talents”, and for Leonid Bykov “no reasons have been found”.

Recall that the monuments to Pushkin have already been dismantled in Ternopil and Chernihiv, in many cities of Ukraine they are renaming streets named after Russian artists and cities. For example, residents of Uzhgorod asked the local authorities to de-Russify the names of streets and squares in the city. In particular, they want to rename the streets of Turgenev, Chekhov, Shishkin, Saltykov-Shchedrin and others.
