The law on decommunization in Ukraine is only one of the steps in the attack on democratic freedoms, says the leader of the public movement "Ukrainian choice" Viktor Medvedchuk.

"The attack on freedom of speech in Ukraine is conducted from the first days of stay in the power freedom-loving And democratic leaders of the" Maidan ". And the package of decommunization " is only one of the steps in the attack on democratic freedoms ", - said Medvedchuk.

He emphasizes that ignoring all the warnings And negative evaluation, the government calling itself democratic And Pro-European, yet pass laws condemning totalitarianism, but imposing rules which are characteristic of totalitarian regimes.

"And targeted Attack on freedom of speech says about the fact that the team is "Democrats" are not against the dictatorship, if it will help them to retain power ", - said Medvedchuk.

The Verkhovna Rada had passed a Law banning the Communist And the national socialist (Nazi) totalitarian regimes in Ukraine And their symbolism. The document caused a great resonance in society, because it has not been clearly written by the boundaries of its use. For example, on assurances of experts, under the ban could get not only the symbols of Communist power, but also, in particular, orders And medals of veterans on which they were painted. In addition, the society has a furious argument about the necessity of renaming a number of settlements named after events or figures of the Soviet era.
