Who is Nikolai Schors, he was born in the Chernihiv region. In August, Schors became the younger paramedic of the third separate Mortir Division of the Vilnius Military District. Until the end of the First World War, he was at different sections of the front. However, in May, he was evacuated to Simferopol, where he was treated for tuberculosis. For health reasons, Shchors could no longer serve, because he was demobilized.

Russian propaganda used the image of Shchors as a fighter for Soviet Ukraine. That is why little is known about a significant part of his life, and death is shrouded in myths. For example, his meeting with Lenin, a partisan past in Siberia or other combat victories have no confirmation. Nikolai Shchors Photo: Wikipedia however at that time, a change in political preferences was clearly traced.

At the end of August, he began to form regular Ukrainian Soviet military units. The head of the First Ukrainian Soviet Division, Nikolai Shchors, suppressed this conflict, thereby achieving the occupation of Ukraine by the Bolsheviks. Nikolai Shchors died on August 30 in a battle in the Zhytomyr region under unclear circumstances. Literary works were also written about him and even filmed films, in particular, the same name “Shchors” by Alexander Dovzhenko.

It is known that it was Stalin who controlled the shooting of this film and instructed to erect a monument to Shchorsu in Kyiv back in the year, but then the Second World War began. It is interesting that before the mass propaganda of the myth of Nikolai Schors, no one even knew where his grave was. The USSR used such tactics in order to create a misconception that supposedly Ukrainians themselves heroically created Soviet Ukraine.

The real story speaks the opposite. The dismantling of the monument in Kyiv on April 30 at the intersection of Boulevard Shevchenko and the street of the Comintern in Kyiv opened a monument to Nikolai Shchorsu. In the year, the monument was included in the register of objects of cultural heritage of national significance. This fact prevented the dismantling of the monument.

In November, the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory proposed to transfer the monument to the Museum of the Sovetsky Park Museum of Sumy Region. It turned out that the Kyiv City State Administration rejected such a decision in a year. In November, monuments to Pushkin and Shchorsa were deprived of security status, after which they began dismantling. Today, December 9, in Kyiv, they began to demolish the monument to Nikolai Shchorsu.

Utilities warn of the possible temporary partial ceiling of Shevchenko Boulevard. How much time the monument will take is still unknown. See also that in the Carpathian, local residents refused to demolish Soviet monuments.
