Kyiv has dismantled a monument to writer Mikhail Bulgakov on Andriyivskyy Descent. The city council approved its removal in December 2025. The monument, located near the Bulgakov Museum, was loaded onto transport. This follows a 2024 designation of Bulgakov as a symbol of Russian imperial policy. The Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance recommended decolonization. A proposal was also made to close the museum and repurpose the space.
