Agitation for the Communist Party of Ukraine. Archive photoMOSCOW, May 17.Minister of Justice of Ukraine Denys Malyuska said on Tuesday that last week the department, after seven years of proceedings, received a court decision to ban the Communist Party of Ukraine. He recalled that in 2015 a law was passed banning communist ideology and symbols in Ukraine, but this did not help speed up the ban on the Communist Party. «Just last week, we received a court decision, an appeal decision, on the banning of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Despite the fact that seven years of judicial consideration have already passed since 2015,» Malyuska said on the air of the Ukraine 24 TV channel. According to him, under the new law banning «pro-Russian» parties, such cases will be considered according to a faster procedure, only two months are allotted for consideration of the first instance and appeal. .jpg» />The Rada announced the liquidation of the Opposition Platform — For Life factionVladimir Zelensky signed a law banning «pro-Russian» parties in Ukraine on May 14.

The decommunization process in Ukraine was legalized by a whole package of laws that came into force on May 21, 2015 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Ukrainian authorities for many years pursued a policy of aggressive de-Russification and forced assimilation. He noted that Russia wants to see Ukraine as friendly, without a ban on the Russian language and Russian culture. As in Ukraine, veterans of WWII were mocked for years, they first threw him on the asphalt, then kicked him, broke his ribs. It happened back on the Maidan, in 2014. Then the militants of the «Right Sector» (an organization banned in Russia) beat 84-year-old veteran Pyotr Filonenko for calling for peace. Later he left for Russia. Other veterans who remember and went through the war are forced to endure bullying to this day.
