The monument to Taras Shevchenko has been painted with Tryzub and written «Slava Ukrayini» (Glory to Ukraine!) in Simferopol

The monument to Taras Shevchenko has been painted into the blue and yellow colours and drawn the Tryzub with phrase «Slava Ukrayini» (Glory to Ukraine!).

«The barbarous act had been probably committed at night thus the next morning in the social networks there appeared the monument’s photos with the Tryzub and the screen phrase «Slava Ukrayini!». They had also coloured the Kobzar’s moustache into blue and yellow», − says Kriminform (Crimeainform).

From the Crimean publishing and some Russian sources’ perspective, such actions are the monument’s contamination. Right now the most part of paint has been cleared and the group of policemen is charging nearby it.
