As stated by the press service, the dismantling was carried out by the municipal enterprise "Kyivblagoustriy".
"Despite his contributions to science, his figure is tied to an imperial narrative. Historically, Pavlov's school conducted cruel experiments not only on animals but also on humans. In particular, homeless children aged between six and fifteen were used for these experiments," the statement noted.
The dismantling took place in accordance with the decision of the Kyiv City Council No. 6880/6921 dated July 13, 2023, "On the Approval of the List of Objects to be Removed from the Public Space of the City of Kyiv".
Currently, the dismantled monument is stored at a designated site for abandoned property. It will later be transferred to the State Aviation Museum of Ukraine named after A.K. Antonov, where other dismantled objects are already kept.
