Every day less and less articles or TV-programmes are objective in Ukraine. I don't know even what to read or to watch on TV sometimes, because Ukrainian journalists became very loyal toward the state power. The last sadest news of Ukrainian journalism became yesterday, when three sites of the popular newspapers "Hazeta po-ukrayins'ky" ("Newspaper in Ukrainian"), "Ukrayins'ka pravda" ("Ukrainian truth") and "Ukrayins'kyy tyzhden" (Ukrainian week) began to show IP-addresses of their commentators!!! Is it freedom of the opinions in the country? No way! Nowadays when someone writes anything on these three sites, the question "where is a commentator" can be known for all through commentator's IP-address, shown on the site. And when somebody writes something "not very nice" for the power on these sites, so what can be then? This world is such that "not very nice" information or activity is different for every state power. For example, in Belarus the simple applauses on the street are punished with a few-day-staying in the prison now, because in the last time street's applauses were the unique method to show people's dissatisfaction of Belarus' power. And this week Skype agreed with the proposition of Russian power to give information about Skype's Russian users to state bases, though till that time the way of Skype connection was the one real "freedom's island" for Russians.
So do Ukrainian journalists enjoy such way of life as exists in the neighbouring countries?
Nice article Marjana! It put in evidence as Western Istitution also betrayed Eastern Euopean countries. Shame on us, and I'm very sorry for contemporary politic situation in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gabriele for the comment!
ReplyDeleteThere is no any democratic regime in these three countries of the Eastern Europe. And I think it's dangerous not only for them, but also for another countries in the world.
