"In the occupied city, a composition of five sgraffito (a technique for creating wall images) by Sergey Barannik and Akhmet Fathi has been destroyed," the city council stated, noting that this information was reported by journalist and researcher of Mariupol mosaics Ivan Stanislavsky.
The panels were reportedly created in the assembly hall of school No. 7 in 1990. They were among the few examples of avant-garde intervention in monumental art. "Now, after the 'renovation' by the occupiers, the assembly hall has bare white walls," the city hall emphasized.
The Mariupol City Council reminded that the occupiers have destroyed dozens of mosaic panels in the city, including works by Alla Horska, Lelya Kuzmenkova, Valentina Konstantinova, Ernst Kotkov, Valery Lamakh, and Ivan Litovchenko.
