Veterans Dnepropetrovsk Kiev wants oblivion feats veterans
The actions of the Ukrainian authorities undermine the foundations of historical memory and sent to oblivion the deeds of the veterans of the great Patriotic war, said the head of the Dnepropetrovsk regional Council of veterans Stanislav Shevchenko.

The Verkhovna Rada on Thursday adopted a Law banning the Communist and the national socialist (Nazi) totalitarian regimes in Ukraine and their symbolism. The law also provides that the propaganda of the Communist and national socialist (Nazi) totalitarian regimes and their symbolism is a legal person, a political party, printed mass media is the basis for refusal of registration and stop their activities.

"The actions of the current government undermined the foundations of historical memory, the relationship between generations and focused on the rewriting of history in which power wants were forgotten exploits of veterans of the great Patriotic war" - are on the Internet office of the Ukrainian party "Oppositional block" the words of Shevchenko.

"in the 1st place Is an insult to veterans. They were created to Win, that They defended their Homeland. How was it possible to pass such laws? How was it possible to cross the Crossing of the Dnieper, the liberation of Kiev, Stalingrad, Kursk. I realize that this government wants to glorify the OUN/UPA. But They did not participate in any battle for the liberation of Ukraine. They only participated in the liquidation of the Ukrainian people. What kind of true history we can speak in such terms?" quoted Shevchenko party website.

"the Opposition bloc stressed that the parliamentary coalition and the government undermine the fundamental rights of veterans. For example, the state budget for the current year include limits on social security for veterans. They are provided now in order and the sizes defined by the government, based on how much money for these purposes will lay officials, according to the Opposition bloc.

As emphasized by the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, all taken today by Kiev's attempts to pervert their country's past, to abandon the achievements of the Russian and Soviet periods in its history only lead to deep division of modern society.

The foreign Ministry drew attention to the fact that such laws are being put in conditions when Ukraine needs to adopt a competent and qualified solutions to get the country out of the deepest social, economic, political and cultural decline ". Instead of "the country is invited to plunge into the abyss of a large-scale renaming of cities, squares, streets, factories, and other facilities under the slogan of liberation from the symbols of the former regime," stressed the Russian foreign Ministry.
