President Victor Yanukovych chose Kaniv as the destination for his first internal visit. “Everything in Ukraine starts with Taras Shevchenko,” the Head of State underscored.

President also decided to present Kobzar’s Memorial Complex with a hotel for the pilgrims who come to Kaniv to bow to Taras.

President’s press service reports that Victor Yanukovych held a meeting with Prosecutor General, Oleksandr Medvedko, and ordered him to clarify the reasons behind the delaying of Kaniv Memorial restoration and undertake a comprehensive examination to complete the work and open the Memorial Complex (which has been restored for more than five years) as soon as by the Independence Day.
