Now that Ukrainians have toppled the bloody regime of Yanukovych the canvas has been taken away.
On behalf of IFEF named after Valeriy Lobanovskyi I would like to express gratitude to FC Dynamo Kyiv president Ihor Surkis, owner of Borys clinic Mykhailo Radutskyi, Dynamo Stadium director Yuriy Pikhtovnikov, leader of Automaidan Rostyslav Melnyk and everyone who helped to save the monument. Thank you and be happy in new Free Ukraine!
