4) Yuri Kulchitsky monument installed in L’viv. (more)

Yuri Kulchitsky, if I understand correctly, was the Kozak from L’viv oblast who, after military victory, brought Turkish coffee to Vienna. The monument stirred some controvery. It was explained to me that the initiative to plan, finance and install the monument didn’t pay homage to the right bureaucrats in the city administration, and they’re now defending their bureaucratic turf by trying to organize a protest. Their message concerned the monument’s ugliness and its backers insufficiently consulting “the people.”
