Reagan in Kiev: Why a monument to the American President of the 90s is needed during the war

In Kiev, they plan to perpetuate the memory of the anti -communist Ronald Reagan. The author of the initiative is convinced that it will help to strengthen relations of Ukraine and the US. Focus found out if it was so important to build a monument to the US President during the war. Political scientist Victor Taran proposes to erect a monument to the 40th US President Ronald Reagan in Kiev.

According to the author of the initiative, Ukraine will be able to strengthen relations with the United States, in general, and with the Republican Party, in particular. The raigan monument offers a monument to Reagan on the site of one of the demolished Soviet monuments. At the same time, the expert claims that budget money is not needed, as the idea was supported by some donors.

"Who understands the importance of further support from the US will understand the symbolism and the purpose of this idea. And some of my favorite quotes of Reagan:" Who is the Communist? This is the one who reads Marx and Lenin. And who is the anti -communist? This is the one who understands Marx and Lenin "" "It is not necessary to wait for the government to solve our problems.

The government is our problem "," Freedom is one of the noblest sensations of the human spirit! " He played a role in the collapse of the USSR, which he called the "Empire of Evil". Ask them to show the joy of the merciful God. But as long as they preach the omnipotence of the state and its superiority over the individual, as long as they believe in their future domination of all peoples of the earth, they are the center of evil in the modern world, "said Reagan about the USSR.

Volodymyr Vyatrovich, an American politician, maintained relations with the Ukrainian diaspora in the United States In Kiev, the Reagan Monument has not yet, the local authorities supported the idea approved by the people of Kiev, to rename one of the streets in the Desnyanskiy district in honor of the 40th President of the United States - One of those Western politicians who supported the freedom and independence of countries. He was against the Soviet regime.

And Ukraine has received independence in many respects, thanks to Reagan's position. He is known to keep in touch with the Ukrainian Diaspora. And the fall of communism is largely a merit. Therefore, it is a good idea to establish a Reagan Monument in Ukraine, "says Focus Vyatrovich. The People's Deputy believes that such an initiative is not necessary to approve Americans, but for" themselves. " It will not be worse. Another historical figure.

The monument to Queen Elizabeth II on the site of the dismantled monument to the Soviet commander Nikolai Shchors. For example, a monument to Alexander Pushkin. Others - such as the Arch of "Freedom of the Ukrainian People" - on the contrary, refuse to clean, insisting that it is a business card of the capital.

However, according to political expert Alexander Kochetkov, Ukraine pays too much attention to the renaming of streets and the erection of monuments in honor of well -known politicians instead of engaging in more urgent issues during the war. For example, strengthening the MIC. "I respect Victor Taran's colleague, who suggested that the Reagan Monument to erect, but justice for the sake, we would be more attention if we erected a Trump monument, perhaps it would take some Americans.

But history In my opinion, the President of the Reagan and Ukraine. According to the political scientist, other effective ways could strengthen relations with the Republicans. "They seriously insist on solving corruption problems, and they also do not like that we are constantly saying that Americans are obliged, we demand help. We need to change rhetoric, speak more respectfully and less personally, solidly build relationships. 'The two countries, "Kochetkov summarizes.
