“Here I got a message from one of the bar associations (LES bar association, – ed.), which allegedly represents the interests of such a character from the past – Ruslan Tarpan. The same one who “squeezed out” something there with the deep-water discharge of sewage into the sea, and besides – the so-called “reconstruction” of Kateryninska Square in Odessa. So, allegedly (or rather from the text of the lawyer’s request), Tarpan was offended by my remark in an interview with one of TV Yuzhny that “the money for the monument was allocated from one of the Russian funds “Rossotrudnichestvo”, and not from MP Tarpan “. Well, this is exactly how “my quote” arrived after reprinting from site to site,” Gutsalyuk wrote.
He emphasized that he agreed with all his words said earlier.
“I don’t object to anything in principle. I just can’t understand what got Tarpan involved in this? I really think that Tarpan, who was engaged in construction in Odesa and is currently hiding from NABU in the UAE, does not think that the “restoration” of the monument, which he claims through his lawyers, has nothing to do with “Russian Cooperation” ” – a marker of “Russian measure” was installed in Odesa.
First, the name of the monument was cunningly changed from “Empress Catherine II” to “Founders of Odessa”. Is this how Tarpan cunningly decided? Apparently, so that in a few years, when the Russian Federation attacks Ukraine, local collaborators would shout about “that’s the story”… Well, I’m sure that the monument to “Empress Catherine” would have been demolished a long time ago, but ” To the founders of Odesa” still stands. Well, this change of concepts, like other inscriptions on this monument (such as “The city and the port should be”), is clearly the work of political technologists, not developers, who are wanted by NABU. I’m not talking about the amount of money spent on it. Yes, Tarpan is involved in the reconstruction of the square. There are even his initials engraved on the building behind the monument… But I don’t remember any of the developers restoring Odessa’s squares in this way. Moreover, I can’t imagine such a thing…”,
To the topic
In Ukraine, against the background of the Russian invasion and war, they began to demand the demolition of the monument to the Russian empress Catherine II in Odessa. Several petitions received the required number of votes with this call on the president’s website.
Activists who are “in favor” of demolishing the monument believe that the funds for its construction were allocated from Russia through ” Rossotrudnichestvo “, in particular, and the monument itself is a “marker of Russian peace”, because it glorifies the one who “contributed to the genocide Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar peoples”.
In the public arena, Ruslan Tarpan ,
who has been wanted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine for several years and has been arrested in absentia by the Odessa court , positioned himself as a patron and initiator of the construction of the monument to the Russian empress .
