Kyiv residents have offered the Kyiv municipal authorities to consider erecting a monument to U.S. President Ronald Reagan, an UNIAN correspondent reports.
”Reagan until his last days was a staunch defender of the independence of Ukraine and other countries affected by the communist system,” reads a statement accompanying the petition.
The authors proposed to put a monument at the intersection of Lypska Street and Instytutska Street, at the site of a demolished monument to the first secretary of the Central Committee of Communist Party of Ukraine, Dmytro Manuilskyi.
”The monument will be a symbolic reminder of the priority of such concepts as freedom, dignity, stance toward own people over personal goals and desires,” the authors say.
A corresponding e-petition on the website of the Kyiv City State Administration has already gathered more than a thousand signatures of the 10,000 required for its consideration by the Kyiv City State Administration.
