It's because they're trying to convince everyone that the USSR had no place in their nation's history aside from the bad stuff
It's why they covered the hammer and sickle, it's why they turned that Lenin statue into Darth Vader and it's why they keep lifting a murderous piece of shit like Bandera up as a national icon
I feel like that would arrive you at tearing those monuments down, not changing them around a bit, which is why the whole thing seems so odd to me
The problem being is that they want to take over the history, to subsume it and make it their own
Being capitalists however, they do it on the cheap and we end up here
Cost too much to tear down probably
That and knowing what they rebuild in its place won't look nearly as cool
