Ukrainian censorship and Motorola: the website of the oligarch who “bowed in” to Poroshenko deleted the diaries of the defenders of Slavyansk

The editors of the Ukrainian magazine “Vesti.Reporter” decided to remove the text “Slavyansk. Semyonovka. Massacre (diary of a personal correspondent of field commander Motorola).”

“The editors do not share what Gennady Dubov wrote - in the preface of the material it was noted that “that text is clearly one-sided” and “it is impossible to find objective truth in it. Since the company does not see it possible and does not want to associate itself in any way with the author of the lines, who was not a full-time employee of the Reporter, a decision was made to remove this text from publication,” the message says.

Let us remind you that Gennady Dubovoy is one of the most famous military officers of New Russia. “Motorola” (Arseny Pavlov) needs no introduction.

Let us also recall that the Vesti.Reporter magazine, as well as the Vesti newspaper, belong to Viktor Yanukovych’s fugitive associate, former Minister of Revenue and Duties Alexander Klimenko.

A few months ago, PolitNavigator wrote about how oligarch Klimenko entered into a secret deal with Poroshenko. The condition that the Ukrainian authorities set for Klimenko in exchange for guarantees of quiet business in Ukraine was a change in the editorial policy of the media he owned and the dismissal of the editor-in-chief of Vesti, Igor Guzhva, who is now a defendant in a politically motivated case.

The comments from subscribers to the magazine page under this message speak for themselves.

Andrey Derevyanko: “ So, are the rumors about the editorial board bending to the government’s side true?”

Sergei Belous: "Yes, it's a disgrace... VESTI journalism is dead... Maybe you should rename the magazine: VESTI. PROPAGANDIST? It's not for nothing that so many people have left you..."

Denis Seleznev: “What a tragedy for Motorola and Dubovoy, a disaster and a disappointment… Write about Lyashko, that’s your level.”
