The Future of the Freedom Arch in Ukraine
The Freedom Arch of the Ukrainian people, formerly known as the Arch of Friendship of Peoples, may remain in place if it is «reinterpreted.» This opinion was expressed by the head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory (UINP) Anton Drobovych in an interview with «Interfax-Ukraine.»
Possible Options for the Arch
He proposed three possible options for the future fate of this object.
«The first option is complete dismantling. The second scenario is to leave everything unchanged, which may lead to forced dismantling in the future, as citizens, as it happened with Lenin, may do it themselves. The third option is to leave the arch and use it as a symbol of the LGBTQ community or simply as a symbol of a rainbow over the water, as it was in 2017,» Drobovych emphasized.
