Re: [Cz-L] Ukraine

Hi all,
 
last night there was a panel discussion "Russia-Ukraine conflict and the civil society" in a lecture hall of the Cologne University, moderated by a former director of WDR (West German Broadcasting).
 
The participants were:
Yosif Zisels - the president of the association of Jewish organizations in the Ukraine
Refat Chubarov - the Chairman of the Mejlis (the highest executive-representative body)of the Crimean Tatar People
Anton Nosik - blogger and internet pioneer in Russia and Israel, founder of several internet newspapers, like lenta.ru
 
Among the discussed topics was also the situation for Jew in the Ukraine nowadays, the situation for Crimean Tatars.
Zisels told the auditorium that today Jews and Crimean Tatars are considered by the majority of the Ukrainian public as their closest allies.
Much more difficult is the situation for the Crimean Tatars, which got the status of indigenous people by the Ukrainian Government, but are denied several previously acquired rights now by the Russians.

These 3 participants were also present the night before in the Jewish Community where Zisels spoke more about Jews in the Ukraine and I got the impression that Ukraine exhibits far less Anti-Semitism, than several countries in Western Europe.
We should not be taken in by Russian propaganda regarding this. It is known, that there is a department with huge budget which pays bloggers, journalists, etc. to write articles in the line of the Russian government policy. This year this budget doubled.
