Soviet symbols Uzhhorod and its gradual disappearance discommunization
, about which so much talk now in other regions of Ukraine, Transcarpathia hardly affected. In particular in Uzhgorod is long gone and a hint of the hammer and sickle on the facades of buildings, and on the monument to Lenin had to pour bronze figure of the bishop Bachinskiy. To get rid of the Sovietregional center began after Ukraine's independence. According to his then-Mayor Emil Landovskoho, the city council even created a commission which thought about how to rename streets of the Soviet "flavor": Soviet, Engels, Kirova Heroes of Stalingrad Avenue 60 years of October, waterfront Pioneerand so on. Then, in the early 90s, the streets and houses disappeared so familiar to Soviet propaganda slogans like "Glory to the CPSU." We collected photographs of Uzhhorod Soviet era, where you can see examples of communist symbols, and compared them with the current form of the same places. Of the total impressions can say that in the regional center over the years Blvd.at very popular "model" is not for every office building volume letters, which consisted of slogans. Regional committee of the party (the current ODA) then decorated with bright red inscription "Long live the Communist Party of the Soviet Union." And, obviously, to demonstrate communist consciousness one inscription surround the entire area of ??the then LHenin was not enough, so the rooftop of the Medical Faculty of Uzhhorod University posted the slogan "Glory to the CPSU." See also: Will lose Uzhgorod Soviet aftertaste? Such inscriptions, incidentally, crowned almost every university building. And most of the letters - the height of human growth - were on the roof of the then newo Building of the University "at BAM." Unfortunately, we could not find a complete inscription, because the photo shows only the end of the slogans - "... the glory." Another area, which was full of symbolism - US. Once at City Hall adorned the inscription "Glory to the CPSU," but instead, the Post Office building, hung a huge methButin emblem of the USSR. By the way, the latter is not removed immediately after the dissolution of the Union. Either the technology was, or money, but he hung on the building of mail about 1997-98. Then knocked rarity for a long time lying in the courtyard mail, and its place in building long empty. We can see the trace of the hammer and sickle today. A few meters from topostal been another place with communist symbols. Balcony over the river, framed railing of the hammer and sickle, built specifically for the monument to the Red Army. They pryhynayuchys, making their way toward the city executive committee, throwing a grenade there. Uzhgorod-timers say that because of this monument officials did not like and would like Yogio dismantled. Today in its place sits on a pedestal Augustine Voloshin, instead of sickles and hammers with gaping holes. At the beginning of the current street Zankovetska are three nine-twin. The people still call them "party people edyn." And all that on top of them adorned just a slogan. When a resident of There wasmeyok would explain where the lives of three houses, then, for example, and say, "I live in a" party "." One of vintage photographs Uzhgorod (unfortunately, it is of poor quality) also shows that over the passage of a building in the square stood Theater appeal "Forward to the victory of communism." But he hung there long. At laterPhotos of the Soviet era shows that it replaced the advertising film that showed at the nearby cinema "Moscow". Among these solid laconic slogans stood a large bright red star over the building of this MREMu Square Zhupanatskiy. Interestingly, at the same level, just a few meters deep into the building still rising above the otherStar - David. She decorated the attic of an ancient synagogue and was during the era of the Czechoslovak partially closed her closely attached to the building of this MREMu. So where can still be seen today in Uzhgorod Communist symbols? If you do not take into account the almost visible image of Lenin and Marx on mirrored homes on Liberty Avenue andseveral dozen streets of the Soviet "bloom" (Artillery, collective, Decembrists, Krasnodontsiv (in honor of members of the "Young Guard"), Guards, Polina Osipenko (female pilot, Hero of the Soviet Union) Ryleeva (one of the five executed Decembrists leaders that revolted in 1825), Blagoeva (policies that developed marksyzm Bulgaria) Turyanytsi (Transcarpathian communist activist), Telman (leader of the German Communist movement) Lavrischeva (Hero of the Soviet Union) Bozhenka (warlord who destroyed UPR), etc., it can be assumed that Uzhgorod from various Sovietism cleaned well . However, we have two places where now prohibited from symbolism eyes rozbihayutsya. First - the Hill of Glory. It is not the star at every turn, the arms, the red flags. However, veterans should not fear that now have half a memorial potroschyty. The law of discommunization clearly states that do not fall under the prohibition monuments, memorials and names associated with the resistance and the expulsion of the Nazi occupation of Ukraine. Takozh can not touch totalitarian symbols cemeteries. Another place where you can still see the remains of the Soviet Union - one of Uzhgorod bars in the style of the Soviet era. On this kind of institutions the law clearly does not say anything, so it just in case the owners decided to do with "banter" pub bar-museum, because the law does not prohibit Vistavlyaty totalitarian symbols in museums and exhibitions.
