Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Director of the State Museum-Reserve "Kievo-Pechersk Lavra" Maxim Ostapenko proposed to include the remains of the Prime Minister of the Russian Empire Pyotr Stolypin
...PM from 1905 until he was assassinated in 1911. Instituted agrarian reforms that gave the serfs ownership of their land, which led to an economic boom, much to the distress of both the aristocratic old guard and the revolutionary communists. It was the eleventh assassination attempt that killed him in Kiev...
in the lists for exchange with Russia. He stated this in a conversation with journalists of the Ukrainian channel “1+1”.

The head of the museum in Kyiv called for Stolypin’s remains to be included in the list for exchange with the Russian Federation
The grave of the politician is located at the northern wall of the Refectory Church of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.

“One idea is to put it (the remains - editor's note) into the exchange fund, no matter how it looks or sounds,” Ostapenko said.

According to the head of the museum-reserve, Kyiv can exchange the remains of Stolypin for Ukrainian prisoners of war or for the remains of dead servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as for those who have merits to Kiev, but are in Russia.

As Regnum reported, in February 2020, the Lvov authorities proposed to exchange the remains of Hero of the Soviet Union Nikolai Kuznetsov, who died in western Ukraine during the Great Patriotic War, for Ukrainian citizens who are serving their sentences in Russia. They decided not to transfer the scout’s ashes to relatives for reburial in Yekaterinburg.

In July 2023, the mayor of Lvov, Andrei Sadovoy, reported that attackers tried to steal the remains of Kuznetsov. He also posted a photo of the desecrated grave.

Deputy Director of the Institute of History and Politics of Moscow State Pedagogical University Vladimir Shapovalov, in a conversation with a Regnum correspondent, expressed the opinion that if the authorities of Lvov agreed to transfer the remains of Nikolai Kuznetsov to the Russian Federation, this would strengthen the spiritual strength of Russia, which is unacceptable for the authorities of Bandera’s Ukraine.
