## Resource

A statue of Taras Shevchenko, Ukraine’s revered poet and independence hero, was shot in Cleveland’s Cultural Gardens—bullet holes in the cheek and back of the head. Local Ukrainian groups are already planning repairs, while authorities investigate whether this attack is random or linked to ongoing tensions in Ukraine. It’s not the first time Shevchenko monuments have been targeted, including one destroyed in Borodyanka after Ukraine’s retaking of the town. City officials call it deeply troubling, as these gardens symbolize Cleveland’s cultural soul. The community waits for answers while preparing to restore the monument.
