Petro Poroshenko's decree on "de-communization" of Ukraine and recognition of Nazi collaborators as freedom fighters gave a go-ahead to radicals who want to erase all monuments and symbols of the past with hammers and crow-bars.
This time, three nationalistic organizations "Fashion Verdict", "Radical Youth" and "Kiev Division" declared war on the Monument to the Fallen Warriors, The Eternal Flame, The Monument of Military Glory and others.
The radicals promised to vandalize the Babi Yar monuments. Babi Yar is one of the most terrible pages in World War II history. Nazi troops and their collaborators massacred more than 100,000 captive Jews, Roma, Ukrainians, Russians and others in the Babi Yar ravine in Kiev between 1941 and 1943, until when Soviet troops stopped them.
There are several monuments to the victims.
