History
On July 8, 2015, radical activists of the "Otpor" (Ukrainian "Vidsich") movement held a theatrical action under the building of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine demanding that any broadcast of films, songs, programs, shows and other content be banned. The young people handed over a list of 568 Russian artists and TV stars who, according to activists, should be banned. [2] According to the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, the list contained 567 people. [3] On the same day, the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine a list with updated data on 117 cultural figures of the Russian Federation who publicly supported the anti-Ukrainian military aggression in eastern Ukraine , the annexation of Crimeaand those who expressed objections about the state sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, on which it was proposed to apply restrictive measures in accordance with the law " On Sanctions ", adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in 2014. [4]
Ratification of the List
On August 7, 2015, the SBU provided the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine with a list of 14 people whose actions, according to the SBU, pose a threat to the national security of Ukraine. On August 8 of the same year, the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine published this list. Most of the people on this list have already been declared persona non grata in Ukraine.
