April 20, 2020 I photographed this rubbish bin today a hundred meters from the Poltava Regional Administration. It seems to me that it is unlikely that my Swedish friends will be able to answer the question: why is this heavy concrete bin tied to a tree with an iron chain and check-lock?
The whole secret is that the concrete bin contains an iron basket inside, which the cleaners empty when it is full of garbage. This iron basket can be handed over to the scrap collection point and bring someone income of 10 UHR (3 SEK) for it. So for many poor people, this is a good way to replenish their empty wallets....
Unfortunately, the city authorities of Poltava could not protect the monument to the soldiers of Charles XII who died in the Battle of Poltava from local vandals. All chains from this monument were stolen several years ago and the question of its restoration remains open.
