Ukrainians knocked down another sculpture from the former Soviet Union. This time it was Ostrovsky , a Ukrainian who created the famous book "How Iron Is Tempered", which influenced countless Chinese people!
Hello everyone, I learn from history.
In the past few years, the Ukrainians have gradually demolished many statues with relationships with the former Soviet Union from secretly to openly de-Russia.
For example, as early as 2013, the Ukrainians who were pro- EU launched a protest on Kiev , directly knocking down the sculpture of Lenin, a famous former Soviet leader.
This Lenin statue is 3.45 meters high and weighs 7 tons. It is carved from quartzite and has a base of 2.5 meters high. In December 1946, at the end of the Boulevard of the Independence Square in the center of Kiev, there is the only remaining statue of Lenin in Kiev.
After the outbreak of the war, Ukraine's de-Russiaization became increasingly fierce. What are the sculptures of the Russian poet Pushkin , the sculptures of Tsar Katerina the Great , the bronze sculptures of the "people's friendship" symbolizing Ukraine and Russia's friendship, as well as hundreds of monuments and commemorative symbols, were all demolished.
This statue is a work by the famous Ukrainian sculptor Nikola Znoba in 1966.
Now, the wind of the demolition of the sculpture blew on Ostrovsky's statue.
According to media reports, the granite statue of the Soviet writer Nikola Ostrovsky standing in the Ukrainian town of Shepetovka has been demolished on the 1st of this month.
Nicolah Znoba was a famous sculptor in the former Soviet Union. His son and grandson inherited his career and are now famous sculptors in Ukraine.
Sculptures created by Nikola Znoba's family are spread all over Ukraine and European countries.
Behind this statue of Ostrovsky is Ostrovsky's memorial hall. Before the Russian-Ukrainian War, it was a very famous cultural attraction.
Ostrovsky is an influential writer all over the world.
Although he is a former Soviet writer, from the current point of view, Ostrovsky is a Ukrainian born in Ukraine, and he is completely a local pride.
On September 29, 1904, Ostrovsky was born in Viria Village, Ostrog County, Warren Province, at that time, under the rule of Tsarist Russian .
Ostrovsky's family was poor, and because of the influence of World War I, he went out to take refuge with his father, so he missed his studies.
Later, when he was in school, he was deliberately expelled by a priest who taught theology. For a livelihood, the 11-year-old Ostrovsky went out to find a job in burning a boiler and worked as a child laborer.
In 1919, the Soviet Red Army entered Ukraine, and Ostrovsky felt the concept of the Soviet Red Army saving the country and the people. He first joined the Ukrainian Communist Youth League, and later joined the First Cavalry Division of the Red Army, and participated in the war with White Army .
In the war, Ostrovsky fought bravely, but in August 1920, Ostrovsky was seriously injured in the battle and was forced to return to his hometown to recuperate in October.
This experience can be said to be the origin of the story of Paul Kochakin .
After the rest, Ostrovsky, who had just recovered, served as the secretary of the Ukrainian Communist Youth League branch. Later, he went to Kiev to work as an electrician assistant and entered the power technical school to study. Anyway, he just couldn't get idle and was determined to build the country.
1922, Ostrovsky suffered from severe arthritis due to overwork and was diagnosed with severe disability.
By 1927, Ostrovsky's condition worsened and he eventually became paralyzed! But even so, Ostrovsky still did not give up on the struggle!
Since the body is paralyzed, then use language and words to work.
So Ostrovsky began to create novellas about the Kotovsky division; in order to write a good novel, he also participated in the study of of the Soviet correspondence university.
But Ostrovsky was paralyzed all over, and his struggle with the disease was still intensifying. In 1928, Ostrovsky was blind...
If he were an ordinary person, he would have been devastated, but Ostrovsky was still fighting fate! Never accept your fate!
1930, even though he was paralyzed and blind, Ostrovsky began to create the novel "How Steel Is Tempered" with amazing perseverance in the hospital bed.
In this novel, the character Paul Kochakin he portrayed is already inseparable from his life. Paul Kochakin's role has influenced countless Chinese people.
, especially at the end of the last novel, a monologue by Paul Kochakin has become a popular saying!
"The most precious thing for a person is life, and life belongs to a person only once. A person's life should be spent like this: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his years, nor will he be ashamed of being mediocre. In this way, when he is dying, he can say: 'My whole life and all his energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - to fight for the liberation of mankind.'"
Paul Kochakin's story and this passage have inspired many people!
In Chinese Chinese textbooks, this monologue has become a must-memorize classic.
Before , the Soviet Union collapsed , this book was printed in more than 600 times in 61 texts, totaling more than 30 million copies.
1935, Ostrovsky was awarded the Lenin Medal by the Soviet government, which was the highest medal of honor of the Soviet Union and one of the highest honors of Soviet citizens.
On December 26, 1936, Ostrovs' gene kidney stones and bile poisoning died at the age of 32.
, a world-renowned writer, should have been the pride of Ukrainians, but I didn’t expect that now the Ukrainians will destroy the statue of Ostrovsky with their own hands. This is really sad!
