Moscow Duma Wants To Erect Monument To Tsarist Hero At Lubyanka
MOSCOW DUMA WANTS TO ERECT MONUMENT TO TSARIST HERO AT LUBYANKA
Sergei Petrov, the chairman of the Moscow City Duma commission on monuments, said on 11 October that the commission proposes installing in Lubyanka Square a monument to a popular Tsarist commander, General Mikhail Skobelev (1843-1882), RIA-Novosti reported. In 1991, a monument to VChK-KGB founder Feliks Dzerzhinskii was removed from the square. Petrov said that the commission has received a number of requests from Muscovites to reinstall the Dzerzhinskii monument, but "we cannot support this proposal and cause a scandal." However, Skobelev deserves his place, he added. Skobelev, aka Ak Pasha, made his name during the brutal suppression of Central Asian uprisings in the 1860s and during the Russo-Turkish war in the Balkans in 1877-78.
