In Poltava, instead of a monument to Pushkin, a rocket was installed

Instead of the monument to Alexander Pushkin, which was dismantled as part of the decommunization and decolonization policy, a new art installation appeared in its place. The authors of the project set themselves the task of creating a piece that revealed the audience's "cognitive dissonance" — a state when a person feels joyful emotions and questions his own self-image.

Designer Roksolana Dudka, whose installation "Rocket" was installed instead of a bust of the Russian poet, gave her such an assessment.

She explained that the object is a "sophisticated allusion" to rockets installed on playgrounds during the USSR.

"The object is a complex allusion to the archetypal shape of the rocket, which sends us back to Soviet playgrounds - a phenomenon that can be found today in the urban landscapes of Ukrainian cities. Such a construction causes visual and cognitive dissonance in the context of modern Ukrainian reality, where rockets and shelling have become a tool of daily genocide by the Russian military against the civilian population of Ukraine," said Dudka.
