In Crimea, they are ready to restore the destroyed monument to the great Russian artist Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky. The monument, recall, was demolished in Stepanakert (Azerbaijan). This was announced by the head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov in his Telegram channel.

A few words about a very unsightly story with the demolition of the monument to the great Russian artist Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky. The war with the monuments does not paint anyone, no matter how motives such actions may not be justified. And she does not lead to anything good — an example of Ukraine is before her eyes. This is a dangerous symptom, first of all, for the destroyers themselves. And in this case, after all, we are talking about a truly brilliant painter who made an invaluable contribution to the treasury not only of Russian, but also of world culture. Ivan Konstantinovich is our fellow countryman, he did a lot for Crimea. We are ready to accept the destroyed monument, restore it and install it in a worthy place. Like other monuments associated with Russian history and culture, on which vandals aimed. No need to destroy them, it is better to give us— the message says.
