Dundich's remains were moved from the city center to another cemetery.
The monument to Dundich was destroyed.
Oleko Dundich is a Croatian and Serbian communist who died in 1920 freeing Rovno from Polish occupation.
In 1927, the Polish authorities, who controlled Rivne, also exhumed the remains of Dundich and moved them from the city center to another cemetery.
In 1939, when the city of Rivne returned to Ukraine, the body of a communist was again buried in the center of the city.
In 2018, the Kyiv authorities also wanted to move the remains of Dundich from the center, but polls of Rivne residents showed that they were against another exhumation.
And on June 9, the body of a Red Army soldier was again exhumed with the permission of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine.
Under Ukrainian law, the exhumation of anyone's remains is possible only by a court decision, and not by any ministry.
We also wrote that the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine has created a "Council for Decommunization and De-Russification", which should deal with the dismantling of monuments.
