CULTURE MINISTRY RECOMMENDS BOOK ‘VASYL STUS CASE,’ AND TO BUY PART OF FUTURE EDITION FOR NATIONAL LIBRARIES

The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine recommends reading the book “Vasyl Stus Case” by Vakhtang Kipiani and will purchase a part of the future edition for national libraries.
“The creator of ‘temnyk’ [rules that set guidelines on what can be covered and how it should be covered in the media] decided to again play his usual role of a censor and the Ukrainian court helped him. No matter how emotional the author’s statements, now many times more people know about the role of godfather of Putin’s daughter in condemning the Ukrainian writer by the Soviet system. The same as his attempt to ban the work of journalists pushed to the Orange Revolution,” Tkachenko wrote on Facebook.
In addition, he said that the department recommends the book “Vasyl Stus Case” for reading.
“While the case is on appeal, I will personally buy part of the edition for national libraries,” he said.

COMPETITION AGENCY OPENS CASE AGAINST MYRONIVSKY HLIBOPRODUCT

The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine opened a case against Myronivsky Hliboproduct (MHP), Committee Head Yuriy Terentyev has written on his Facebook page.
“The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine launched an investigation into the actions of the MHP group (five poultry farms and Private Joint-Stock Company Myronivsky Hliboproduct belonging to Yuriy Kosyuk) in the chicken market on the grounds of abusing monopoly position. The committee established that MHP sets conditions for trade partners for certain areas of sales, obliges partners to adhere to the pricing policy of the MHP group and prohibits them from selling competitors’ products. That is, MHP practices a restrictive trade policy towards distributors, sub-distributors and partners,” Terentyev wrote.
According to him, the actions of MHP can lead to a violation of the chicken distribution market structure, a significant restriction of the rights of other market players to freely choose their partners, as well as imposing their own rules of conduct on the market players.
