Monument to Prince Vladimir to be repainted in April

The Kiev Scientific-Methodological Centre for the Protection, Restoration and Use of Historical, Cultural and Protected Areas plans to clean and repaint the monument to Saint Prince Vladimir the Great in April, reports Vecherniy Kiev citing the Centre's General Director Irina Prokopenko.

The Centre, with the support of the Shevchenko district, will start cleaning the desecrated monument to Prince Vladimir in Kiev’s city centre this week to be further repainted in April.

Explaining why the monument failed to be cleaned earlier, the centre staff noted serious damage to the anticorrosive coating of the monument from red paint, which is impossible to restore in winter.

The technology of repair and restoration works provides for work at a stable air temperature from +8° (night time) to + 30°С (daytime) and humidity of 80%, the Centre experts explained.

The monument to the Holy Prince Vladimir the Great, established on the Vladimir Hill in the centre of Kiev has remained uncleaned from the paint since last September when it was desecrated by vandals.

As reported by the UOJ, on March 22, the organization "Ukrainian community" held the first "clean-up" to restore the monument to Prince Vladimir.
