Political Censorship of Art in Ukraine

Oligarchic regime of nationalist junta in Ukraine actively uses and "creatively" develops Goebbels methods of duping people to strengthen the neo-Nazi dictatorship in Ukraine. One of this method is to limit people's access to truthful information, the works of culture and art, literature and journalism of anti-fascist and humanistic orientation.

This limitation is primarily implemented in the abuse and persecution of those popular in
Ukraine and in other countries, writers, artists, actors, composers, singers, directors, which condemn unleashed by the ruling regime in the country fratricidal civil war, social and political genocide.

Fulfilling the political order of the junta and referring to the Law on Protection of Information in TV-radio-broadcasting, pretending to fight «threat to national security and inciting ethnic hatred" bureaucrats of the Presidential Administration, the Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Information Policy, the State Security Service, the Interior Ministry, the Prosecutor's Office form the so-called "black list" of those whose work is banned in Ukraine.

Movies are placed on the shelves, the books are removed and destroyed, as it was the case in Nazi Germany. At the same time, in a country where more than 10 million ethnic Russians live, where a third of the population consider Russian language as the native one, the regime encourages and supports Russo phobia politicians placed inherently Nazi slogan "Ukraine for Ukrainians «onto their banners.

Today not only well-known representatives of culture and art of Ukraine, Russia and the former Soviet Union are in the "black list", but also such famous personalities as Emil Kusturica and Oliver Stone, Gerard Depardieu and Steven Seagal, as well as their works.

No doubt, the practice of ban and persecution of representatives of culture and art first of all isa syndrome of Goebbels-McCarthy, a typical practice of dictatorships, the practice of persecution of dissidents and the introducing of neo-Nazism, as the state ideology.

In this regard, the Communist Party of Ukraine asks the fraternal Communist and workers' parties, through their representatives in national Parliaments and the European Parliament to raise the issue of the inadmissibility, in terms of international law, such a prohibitive practice that violates the rights and freedoms of citizens to receive diverse and truthful information.

Everyone has the right to watch the films, read the books, and listen to the songs that they like.
