| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin: [ColonelCassad] In New York, a monument to US President Theodore Roosevelt was demolished at the entrance to the American Museum of Natural History. The statue depicted Teddy Roosevelt on a horse, next to which walked an Indian and a Negro. She stood for over 80 years. Activists have been calling for it to be removed for years, as they see it as a symbol of the perpetuation of systemic American racism. And now the time has come. Roosevelt sawed off his head and upper body, after which the remaining monument was loaded and taken to storage. Roosevelt's great-grandson supported the demolition of the monument. stating that "it does not reflect Roosevelt's true legacy". On the topic of what to replace the monument with, there is idle talk that it is necessary to erect a monument to George Floyd here, in addition to the one that is regularly vandalized in New York. It is worth noting that in 2020, in Russia it was proposed to buy the monument to Roosevelt along with the monument to Baranov (explored Alaska) and take them to St. Petersburg "to preserve the cultural and historical heritage." When will it come to the demolition of the monuments to George Washington? Stop pulling. |
