Have they forgotten about Sich Riflemen? (PHOTOS)

While they often mention the Hungarian monument on the Veretsky pass – given the situation – its neighbor – the memorial sign to Sich Riflemen – has been forgotten.

And judging from the state of the memorial, a rather long time ago.

Here is the view of the monument, which is the first thing travelers to the Veretsky pass encounter. Nearby, at the territory of Lviv region, there is the burial of Sich soldiers with a big memorial cross, while the quite pompously opened monument in Transcarpathia (namely, in the village of Verbyazh) is abandoned and overgrown with bushes.

However, while being present during the cleaning the Hungarian memorial off of the consequences of vandalism, Ivan Pivkach, the head of Verbyazh village council, promised to take care of the sign in honor of Sich Riflemen. Especially since the prayer will be held there soon as part of celebration of Carpatho-Ukraine’s anniversary.
