Specific ban decrees[edit]

I had a plan to compile the list of banned books (all these decrees are online) but was quickly astonished: the list would be HUMONGOUS, with 98% being seemingly harmless children, self-help, culinary, encyclopedic, translation, etc. books. I knew Putin was... er... Putinistic, but I never suspected the abysmal depth of treacherous subversiveness of Russkies until now. - Altenmann >talk 00:05, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should this be added to this article?[edit]

I’m just wondering, I came across this today and wonder if the article should not be expanded to include this:

The Banning of the Books[edit]

The Banning of the Books

"Ukraine’s Parliament voted to ban the distribution of Russian books and the playing or performance of Russian music by post-Soviet-era artists, the latest display of Kyiv fiercely distancing itself from Russian culture...

...The laws will not ban all Russian media. They only block work by artists who held Russian citizenship after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

One law prohibits the playing of Russian-language music in public, on television and on the radio. That same law also increases national quotas for Ukrainian-language music and speech on television and radio. The other law bans the printing of books written by Russian citizens, unless the authors choose to give up their Russian passports and become citizens of Ukraine...

...This is only the latest effort by Ukraine to control language within its borders. In 2019, the government made Ukrainian the mandatory language used in most aspects of public life, including schools. Russia pointed to this law before its invasion to argue that Ukrainian Russian speakers were under attack"...
