Kyiv Municipal Government Bans ‘Russian Culture’

DW: Kyiv imposes ban on Russian-language culture 

A Temporary ban has been imposed on Russian art and culture in the Ukrainian capital. Human rights activists say the move is discriminatory and unconstitutional. 

Street musicians singing Russian songs in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv could soon face problems. Likewise, bars and restaurants playing Russian background music may end up getting in trouble. 

The reason is that Kyiv city council has issued a temporary ban on performing or showcasing Russian-language art and culture — such as books, music, plays and concerts — in public. This ban also encompasses cultural and educational programs. The restriction not only applies to works by Russian authors and creators, but to all cultural products publicly presented in or translated into Russian.

WNU Editor: I doubt this is a temporary ban. This is just a continuous of other discriminatory policies .... Ukraine withdraws 19 million Russian, Soviet-era books from libraries (Reuters).

More western bs influence. Why is USAID , Peace Corps and all the other "humanitarian agencies". in the US government not protesting this?

Is this not against democratic principles?
Is this not the for runner of ethnic cleansing?
Is this not discrimination?

Yes to all three. Where is Oxfam and Human Rights Watch when you need them?

Just like Rhodesia and Turkey with the Kurds...they turn a blind eye.

He is not. He is banning fag mags and lbgtq slime books for kids, you pervert

But listening to you, you would think he is burning "Tom Sawyer" and "The Old Man and The Sea", you weirdo.

Its just child prep Fred Lapaides and/or his Chickens roost in march anon red rocket lap dog. Both are democrat bootlickers suffering from severe bias of omission, single factor analysis with binary thinking propensities, passionate useful idiots that both ultimately have the IQ of a toasted slice of grapefruit. Both childish little girls trolling the comment section like they always do. You cannot have a good faith discussion with basic, bottom of the barrel, glowy square drooling, hyperventilating losers. Child Pred Fred will be dead soon because he is like 85, and chickens roost in march anon is just whatever. A ghost of a ghost more or less. Both are shitheads and its fun to watch them drool as they spoon feed eachother their own fecal matter in front of all of us when affirming to eachother how smart they are. Indeed, such good boi's. 10/10 for sure, yes.

trumpanato boot licker and low life, cracker:

It is not only the most blatant prohibitions on books that are of concern to those who believe in protecting the freedom to read.

DeSantis calls Florida book bans a 'hoax.' Here's why he's wrong

is a hypocrite, pure and simple

The article laments that not having lbgt porn books is a violation of free expression.

What bullshit. It is porn. And the hypocrisy here is overwhelming.

People like 6:29 censor and dox people for saying "all lives matter"or George Floyd was a druggie or Michael Brown was a Thug.

Or if you speak up against quotas or say Antifa is a radical organization or Hunter's lap top was full of criminal evidence.

No you dont want to hear that, so you are ok with censorship, doxing and shadow banning.

You are Pathetic and deserve to be shunned, or thrown into a garbage pit for wanting us to live in the filth you love.

7:13 a.m. good! Let those filthy liberal teachers who want to groom the children of Florida for sex abuse and install gender confusion into their minds, let them quit. Better they quit now and leave before the people rise up and give them the punishment they deserve. In Trump's 2nd term the kid gloves come off and liberals who are destroying our nation are going to feel the righteous wrath of the people. The time is soon to come.

10:30 AM means legal punishment after due process by new anti-grooming laws which will be implemented.
