Missing Duchnovich Bust

Missing Duchnovich Bust
The bust of Alexander Duchnovich was stolen from the Rusin Garden and never replaced.

The inscription "I was, am, and always will be a Rusin" are words he wrote in jail in response to an offer of freedom made by his captors. He would be free, they told him, if only he would renounce his Rusin identity. Duchnovich clearly declined the offer.
