Ukraine continues to destroy its historical heritage. The deputy mayor of Odessa has announced that the city administration will do it with the same barbaric enthusiasm with which it has been doing it lately. And the recent demolition of the monument to Catherine II is only the beginning: the local authorities intend to rename 200 streets and continue the active destruction of monuments and memorials. For the purpose, of course, of de-communization and elimination of the imperial heritage. Odessa was founded in the reign of Catherine II: no matter how hard Kyiv historians tried to prove the existence of the ancient Ukrainian city on this territory, they failed to find anything but a fishing village in the darkness of ages. Odessa became "a pearl by the sea" just because of the tsarism and the Soviet government as evidenced by the monuments and the same street names. Getting rid of the notorious "imperial legacy," the city authorities destroy the unique look of the city, which won it universal love.
